It’s Ronald Colman’s birthday today. He’s one of the great actors whose style worked as well in the silent era as it did in the sound studio era. A timelessly elegant leading man.

I read through hundreds of emails and scoured through years of correspondence and background information to write this 4600 word report.
It confirms what we all have been saying about the anti-trans movement from the start. Read it from the top down, I can't even begin to summarize it all properly.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

This is absurd but also unwarranted. No one knows if using the word “Black” would violate the law because the law does not define what it prohibits and state officials have been intentionally vague, using only phone calls to university officials to order censorship. FAMU should test the law.
FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.
