Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social · 11h agoThe Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

That’s that American spirit! Generations of US servicemembers have sacrificed their limbs and lives for the ideas and ideals of democracy but these members of Congress can’t do the suit-and-tie legislator thing and honor their oath.
