Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?

‘Vivian Taylor, a climate policy expert who co-authored the analysis, said the fossil fuel industry has a real interest in funding panic over transgender people: It distracts the public from “the very real and ongoing risks that climate change creates.” ‘
This is known to be a deliberate strategy. The links are right there, but people STILL don't actually like... do anything with that information.

Love that we won the game so handily. But a 57.1% night at the free throw line?? We got to improve on that number if we want a shot a winning Big 12 or going deep in the NCAA tournament. #BlueCy
Still missing freethrows. That is going to be the difference maker in close games if we can't start connecting on a higher percentage of freethrows. #BlueCy

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
