"Rena" sent this from Moses Lake WA where she is weeding carrots for a non-union company. She shared: The air is bad. See my cell phone. The AQI is 166, which is unhealthy. We start at 4am. We'll work 7-8 hrs & earn minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The Campaign to Force Genital Exams on Girl Athletes Soon Washington State could require sex-verification tests for those playing sports in schools. Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”

BREAKING: “A person was killed. ICE was involved,” Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau wrote in a Facebook post. This is (at least) the eleventh fatal ICE shooting and the second in less than a week—just days after ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas.

... Graham had announced his unwavering support for Trump’s diabolical plans to deport millions of our neighbors, saying “they will keep coming until they see people leaving.” "The only policy change that will work is to have mass deportations.” One article noted he “almost sounded giddy …”

Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · 3w ago

Mass deportation is “just not workable, it’s not practical,” Graham said in 2010, and three years later cowrote the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform package. Following Trump’s first run, Graham derided him as a “bigot,” saying he was “uninformed” about immigration. That was then. By 2024 …

While the issue of trans participation in sports has grown increasingly contentious nationwide since 2020, advocates insist that trans athletes make up just a fraction of overall competitors. Trans athletes accounted for “less than 10” of half a million college athletes in the country. @19thnews.org

i'm a bit surprised that this was the approach the league went with from a PR perspective (announcing her as signing, even though it's been reported she's being traded to Detroit for their first round draft pick, and not disclosing that at all) I wonder if this will confuse/upset Vegas fans
