The Rose City Riveters continue to stand with our trans siblings in and out of the stadium.

We call upon the NWSL and Jessica Berman to condemn the statements made by Elizabeth Eddy and take steps to protect their players from hateful rhetoric like this. #BAONPDX
🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.

In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.

No exceptions. ❤️🖤

Good riddance.
Pope Leo is said to have accepted Cardinal Dolan's resignation and to have picked his successor as New York archbishop. Will Dolan serve in retirement as spiritual advisor to Turning Point USA? In any event, his adherence to the GOP is far stronger than his adherence to the Catholic Church.

Pope Leo stays measured, while Dolan’s likely successor — Bishop Daniel Flores — prepares to bring a very different voice to New York.

Did I mention ICE arresting firefighters who were LITERALLY fighting a massive fire at the time of their arrest? 🔥

A senior administration official, as well as other officials, told Rolling Stone that it is a priority of Trump that these kinds of military deployments -- in times of relative calm -- become normalized in American political culture.

Bork thought (1) the First Amendment should only protect political speech, not art or culture or speech about it, and (2) feminism and naughty stuff were destroying America. So, yeah.

Due to the small number of companies that control payment processing, it is going to be a challenge for all of us to avoid companies like this. However, where you can: do.

And support organizations fighting this. Support creators being harmed by this.

NEW from me: This morning, a Stripe customer representative confirmed to me that they do not allow LGBTQ content and haven't for a month--at first.

Later, after putting me on hold, the representative confusingly said they were wrong and that they don't ban LGBTQ content, only "abusive" content.

Just submitted my initial manuscript for my law journal article on trans medical privacy. Hoping to get it up on SSRN soon as a preprint.

It covers how the medical privacy of trans folks has been eviscerated and how it is a model for the destruction of medical privacy for any disfavored group.

Alyx, a 15 year veteran of the Air Force was approved for early retirement in May. The Trump admin suddenly revoked it on Wednesday because of the trans military ban.

She'll lose out on healthcare and pension benefits as a result.

From my colleague @foxmike90.bsky.social: As a former public defender, I know the Supreme Court lets immigration agents indiscriminately detain people based on physical appearance. But it was still a jolt to see White House “border czar” Tom Homan say it right out loud.
Opinion | The Fourth Amendment is on life support — and we’re all paying the price
White House “border czar” Tom Homan said the quiet part out loud on ICE detentions — and we should all take it as a warning.

Everyone needs to understand that the defunding of public broadcasting this week is part of a broader effort to dismantle the free press and control the means of reality production itself.
