Tragically fitting that the ultimate legacy of allowing fascists who hate our educational institutions to host unlimited speaking engagements on campuses for decades is the end of all speech at universities that fascists don’t personally agree with.

Your student bodies warned you the whole time.

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine How the left ended up disbelieving the science By Helen Lewis “We often ask parents, ‘Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’” Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles once explained to ABC News. Variations on the phrase crop up in innumerable media articles and public statements by influencers, activists, and LGBTQ groups. The same idea—that the choice is transition or death—appeared in the arguments made by Elizabeth Prelogar, the Biden administration’s solicitor general, before the Supreme Court last year. Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat minors with gender dysphoria would, she said, “increase the risk of suicide.” But there is a huge problem with this emotive formulation: It isn’t true. When Justice Samuel Alito challenged the ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio on such claims during oral arguments, Strangio made a startling admission. He conceded that there is no evidence to support the idea that medical transition reduces adolescent suicide rates.

This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of.

It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.

tbh, it’s refreshing to see an organization as conservative as the New York Yankees reevaluate its policies toward accepting gender-affirming behavior when so many have just retreated on these measures because of fear of reprisal from Trump

My latest piece for @thenation.com is about Trump exploiting the Army-Navy game to celebrate a lynching.

Trump Invites a Killer to His Luxury Box
Daniel Penny, who choked Jordan Neely to death on the subway, sat with Trump at the Army-Navy game. The right-wing celebrations of Penny echo a violent, racist past.
