“But say the existing research were showing something very different—perhaps even overwhelming evidence that trans women are unfairly more physically gifted in most ways than their cis peers. I don’t know why that’d be grounds to keep them out of women’s sports, where they so clearly belong.”

Hi! I wrote a thing about swimming and trans athletes and [*checks notes*] Santana for @defector.com, would mean a lot if you give it a read

"Luke portrays Jesus as radically forgiving as a way of affirming Jesus’s power in the terms of Roman imperialism. Jesus forgives like an emperor; Luke’s Christianity aligns with the goals of empire." I wrote a Lectionary Reflection (and 🔥🔥 🔥 liturgy!) for @presoutlook.bsky.social on Luke 23:33-43!

Reign of Christ — November 23, 2025 On Reign of Christ Sunday, Luke 23 presses us to confront how empire shapes our theology — and how the church can resist it, writes Jimmy Hoke. #ReignofChristSunday

All the talk about lost businesses is uptown shows how the people talking about it don't live in my ward. They're sad they can't drop in like tourists and go to the same restaurant every visit. They don't care that I can no longer walk to get my diabetes medications because they don't live here.

because also what businesses have been lost in uptown? all they talk about is restaurants like lagos taco. which sucks, but this is not the same as stevens square losing essential services like a pharmacy, a hardware store, a dollar store, and a thrift store for clothes and home goods in a poor area

As always, @katelynburns.com is on fire, saying what needs to be said, over and over again, with receipts. "...The right has already proven themselves to be operating in bad faith on these issues. ... Compromise isn't possible here. I'm running out of ways to explain this to all the good liberals."

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

What Would Trans Compromise Even Look Like? (The Right Won't Accept It)

Conservatives and complicit centrists have obliterated every trans compromise position, so I don't know what we're supposed to do now. How would you react if I said that puberty blockers were once th...

Everyone’s words recently: “We need to do things to deescalate political violence.” If, in your actions, you capitulate to threats of violence, all you do is teach right-wing extremists that they should continue to threaten violence—which will eventually become real—because it helps them win.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

And to those who would use this tragedy to attack our trans neighbors, shame on you. We must stand united against hate in all its forms and ensure that every Minnesota child, family, and community never again experiences the grief we’re all feeling in the wake of this shooting.

We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor. We deserve better.

"When the donors don't get the outcome that they want through the party process, they go to a super party process outside of the norm to try to reverse the decision of the delegates," Payne said. "It's an extremely short-sighted thing to do, not just tactically but philosophically," he added.

City Council president says decision is 'extremely short-sighted'
4:28 p.m. - Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne, who supports Omar Fateh for mayor, called the news "deeply troubling" and said it will have "reverberations beyond the city election this year."
"When the donors don't get the outcome that they want through the party process, they go to a super party process outside of the norm to try to reverse the decision of the delegates," Payne said.
"It's an extremely short-sighted thing to do, not just tactically but philosophically," he added. "It basically is turning their backs on the entire concept of this being an inclusive party that is multi generational, multiracial and based on values. Apparently, it's based on money, and you can just buy the outcome you want."
