The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids.

The Supreme Court's Anti-Trans Decision Will Live In Infamy
In its bigotry and deceitfulness, US v. Skrmetti is destined to be seen alongside Plessy, Dobbs, Dred Scott, and all of the court's other most notorious decisions.

As infuriating as the conservative SCOTUS is, never forget that America’s genocide against its trans population is the child of “moderate” liberal outlets like the Atlantic and the New York Times, and especially Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who made healthy careers out of polishing bigotry.

I don't know what to say about the supreme court ruling
except that when I see trans girls get to have a girlhood, I'm besides myself with joy
and that I meet so many trans people who were made homeless as children by bigoted parents
and that trans kids deserve medical care and social acceptance

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

I didn’t foresee blind support of Israel literally destroying American higher ed & freedom of speech but wow what a clear demonstration of the mantra “none of us are free until all of us are free”.

We can quibble about the placement of each item but the original sin here is the very existence of this graph. Why on earth would a news organization rank social issues like they're weapons in an RPG?
Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination
