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
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Normally when I listen to PTFO I'm satisfied in just enjoying good work, but this one has the added benefit of being enraging down to the last second.
PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.
Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”
But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

Donald Trump is setting not just the federal government against one of the states, but pitting armed soldiers from one state against the citizens of another. This is an emergency.

I wrote about how keeping up with rising authoritarianism (or criticizing how other people are organizing against it) isn't the same as taking action yourself. I also ponder whether constantly telling my readers that there's still time to act might keep them from actually doing so.
Mind the gap
There's difference between analyzing a crisis and doing something about it.

This is an important thread. It seems weirdly disrespectful to try to turn Kirk into something he clearly despised.
As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”
My sense is that most Americans had not heard of Charlie Kirk until yesterday. The first and perhaps only thing they're going to hear about him from the most trusted and important voices in American politics is that he was a model and constructive participant in good-faith political discourse.
