“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” - Chuck Schumer, August 2016. Same playbook as 2024. He was right about losing losing Dem voters!

100% what happened. The history of anti-trans politics is trying to design a legitimizing study around a conclusion, massaging the data when that doesn't work, and then just giving up and raw-dogging what they were going to do anyway.
Kind of feels like the IOC expected for the study to say "yeah trans women are like the hulk somehow" and when it completely undercut the reasoning behind banning us. They have simply elected to ignore their own work.

Climate change is causing increasing blooms of toxin-producing algae, and it’s causing dementia in dolphins. There’s evidence that human exposure to these algae blooms - you can even breathe in the toxins from nearby land - is causing similar brain damage in addition to other harmful health effects.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.
