  2. Once again, the NYT running cover for what happened at Brown University. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ATHLETES. READ THE DAMN SETTLEMENT!

    Brown’s deal included language that barred the government from dictating curriculum or the content of academic speech. It also touched on several other issues central to the administration’s attacks on higher education, including transgender athletes who play on women’s teams and the treatment of Jewish students in the wake of the protests against the Gaza war.

Brown will have to ensure locker rooms and bathrooms are reserved for female athletes, perform outreach to Jewish groups and hire an external group to conduct campus climate surveys, for example.

    The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

    “Everyone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.

  3. I want to congratulate the Dems on somehow successfully engineering a more feeble and impotent response to the genocide than they've already had. I'd almost rather have the honesty of Harris or Biden's blatant support than have to hear this feckless android's mealy mouthed attempted at being folksy.

  4. There is a concerted effort by this administration to forcibly remove the notion of trans people existing in public life. That’s why it’s so frustrating when democrats insist on meeting anti-trans crusaders on talking points like sports where they are. This is where they’re at. They want us gone.

    Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."
