So grateful to @apapertrail and @CatapultStory for giving me the chance to share some complicated feels!
There are pieces I edit at turtle speed because I can’t stop lingering on a scene, like I’ve found a very beautiful, loving place that I might never find again. @elanorbroker’s essay on finding the space for boyhood as a trans mother is one of those: catapult.co/stories/son-boy-…

Y'all don't understand how much damage us trans folks have tanked for almost everyone else the last like 4 years. It's been us and immigrants just taking the full blast of the culture war every day. And now you call us selfish for asking for the same rights we had 2 years ago?
you can't expect, after two years of being used as scapegoats for just about everything, trans voters not to object to that, they have to be respected as coalitions members and their concerns taken seriously

I love how it doesn't even matter anymore that their own best vid shows anti-trans protesters being aggro and starting fights while the Riverters firmly but peacefully counterprotest. Dude is literally bending the pole trying to keep his flag *up* while the agitator throws hands
EXCLUSIVE: The Justice Department is stepping in after a heated confrontation at a women's professional soccer game in Portland leaves "Save Women's Sports" supporters struck with flagpoles and forcibly removed by stadium security. Video shows tensions escalating after roughly 20 fans reveal XX-XY Athletics shirts and unfurl a "Save Women's Sports" banner during a Portland Thorns match before pro-trans activists confront the group and surround them with trans pride flags. Now, federal officials say the incident raises potential First Amendment and viewpoint discrimination concerns, while Portland police investigate reports of harassment and vandalism. The DOJ is reviewing whether government officials played a role in the removals. See why the stadium's ownership could become a key factor: foxnews.com/outkick-sports/e… @Outkick

one of the key tacks for successful lawyers, be they trans or not, is keeping your private business private. maintain your professional integrity and stable professional platform with this one weird trick

HUGE NEWS: New reporting shows Haley Stevens’ major donors started supporting Mike Rogers in the general election. These are proud, lifelong Democrats who are crossing the aisle to defeat extremist Abdul El-Sayed! Mike Rogers is going to win in two weeks.

I'm not giving you legal advice, but it's just common sense that getting investigated and disciplined by your state bar for all your unhinged public crashouts is best handled by ... more unhinged public crashouts? that's what we're going with? cool.

Critics have launched a boycott campaign against US cheese giant Tillamook over its new halal labelling. Some have accused the company of making "al-Qaeda cheese" in a viral tirade of abuse against the Oregon dairy co-operative.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. He said a young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2009, is this young man's birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name!
