Just in: Florida's supreme court today has UPHELD a recent state law that enables juries to sentence someone to death nonunanimously.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

The key insight is that the strength of the training, experience, research outputs, etc., is NEVER measurable on an absolute scale. It is ALWAYS assessed in the context of a particular hiring department’s needs.

To great replacement theorists, qualified White men are being replaced in coveted jobs by unqualified women and men of color. These theorists are often platformed by the corporate titans laying off thousands of White men, women, and men of color. Not a coincidence.

The ban will single out and apply exclusively to trans kids.
