Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire

NEW @motherjones.com: When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Megyn Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him.
Now, with Epstein, she’s claiming it’s not quite fair to call him a a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors. ⬇️

Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

Those cars sped out and what looked like civilian CG employees later followed through—
The “civilians” they cleared the road for are the same cars that entered this morning where an escalated confrontation happened. They are alleged to be federal agents.

CHP is currently pushing people out of the entrance to Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California, where ICE agents and federal guard are being housed. They’ve been asked to clear the street so “civilians” can leave the base. Unclear what they mean by “civilians” and won’t offer more information.

Heavy California Highway Patrol presence that just showed up in Alameda, California, with what we can confirm is about 30 or more sitting outside the perimeter seemingly waiting to be called in. They’re calling for protesters to move out of the road to clear the way for people to exit the base.

Protester praying on the "government property" line where US Coast Guard security is currently holding the perimeter. You can see on the ground pieces of the a car and the flash grenade that was used in an earlier altercation as alleged ICE agents tried to enter the facility.

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.
