A nice trans activism thing I like to do is, whenever I see an article about a school or a library or something being trans-inclusive or supportive of trans people/issues in my country, I send them a thank you card/note in the post.

They're probably getting hate mail about it from bigots, you know? Maybe a librarian/admin person getting something like that could make a big difference, now and also further down the line.

Here's the thing about this opinion: Defendants usually lose motions to dismiss because hurdles are so high, but this decision was particularly biting.

I think it's safe to say at this point that Trump knows (or is reasonably sure) he will be convicted of these charges in D.C.

The tone of this decision is completely professional but the message is clear: Nope. Sorry. You get no special consideration as a former president, thereby torpedoing what he thinks is his strongest defense.

I don’t know, but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t

, since this is something that people have done for ages.

Any law restricting use of middle names would have to apply to all people, not just trans people.

Highly-mutated "Pirola" COVID variant is spreading more rapidly, but vaccines seem to neutralize it

Experts warned Pirola could do serious damage if it gained a foothold. Now that it's growing, what happens next?

Hi, everyone:

As I posted earlier, I'm switching servers.

If you missed it, see my pinned post for how I am going about this.

Meanwhile, #FunReadingLegalDocuments, reading Chutkan's decision shooting down Trump's immunity claims.

It's here:

Piling on the misery these families have already endured. Reveling in it. I have no words.

Here we go. The next thing Chutkan does is quote the impeachment clause and give a common sense reading. (Page 8 - 9)

Chutkan gives lots of reasons Trump's reading of the impeachment clause is absurd.

I have another: If you have to be impeached and removed to be eligible for criminal prosecution after leaving office, a person can go on a crime spree during his final days in office, before the impeachment-removal proceedings can be carried out.

US tells Israel it will announce visa ban on violent settlers in coming weeks — officials.
Excellent decision. Biden is navigating this very complicated crisis with principles and skill. (BTW, most Israelis despise those settlers)

The contrast between what Trump is threatening and Biden is delivering could not be more stark.

At $60,990 the Cybertruck is actually cost efficient as it will double as a coffin for its occupants.
