Before today's politically-confected anti-trans hysteria, "the sporting landscape was not always so hostile to trans athletes." @sydney-bauer.com breaks it all down as the Supreme Court readies to take on two cases concerning trans athletes @ballsandstrikes.org ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/supre...

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win

Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.
