This bathroom issue was the big talking point used to defeat...the Equal Rights Amendment in 1982.
This idea that to protect (white) womanhood we have to sacrifice minority rights is a very old one in US history. It's always a lie, an excuse. It's not about keeping women or children safe. 🗃️

bathroom bills were considered a hugely bigoted overreach a decade ago and the backsliding on trans rights is the result of a sustained propaganda campaign by elites
the pendulum can swing back the other way if you try, and anyone who is not willing to do so is showcasing their own bigotry

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.

Could anyone recommend reading on the pharmaceutical industry since 1945?
Global histories would be great, but I'm also looking for reading on the main US multinationals, too (Pfizer, Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD), Dow Chemical/Merrell Dow, Eli Lilly, etc). 🗃️

The goal was to ensure that our military forts don’t honor individuals who made war against the United States. Mission accomplished. The Trump administration has managed to dishonor a family that fought for the United States. Mission accomplished 🗃️ www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Not that Benning: Hegseth renames Fort Moore, but not for Confederate general, he says
Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth renamed the Georgia base as Fort Benning. Other bases have been renamed using a name similar to that of original namesake.

Learning from the annexation of Hawaii #skystorians
“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

Why now is the Supreme Court, ruling more times in favor of Republicans agenda and not ruling on whether the subject matter is constitutional or unconstitutional, correct or wrong. Are the Republican Justices seriously think we the people don't see the bias conduct of the Court?

Government Budget and Staffing Cuts Could Close Facilities in California’s National Forests, Memo Says
In California, summer could be on the chopping block. Almost 4,000 campsites across many of California’s 18 national forests could close for part or all of the summer season, according to an internal United States Forest Service spreadsheet viewed by The New York Times on Friday. These potential shutdowns follow a wave of federal government firings and budget freezes last month that have led to staffing shortages and stalled contracts for basic services like pumping toilets.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:
Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

However late, and with whatever flaws, the Egypt Plan is critical to countering Israel's aim to depopulate Gaza. But its sponsors need to go to Washington immediately to get backing from Trump, and have a contingency plan in place if that fails. Are they ready to stand up to Israel and the US?
