Not sure if you have been following this story (Megyn Kelly has touched on it), but a female high school basketball player recently refused to play when she realized there was a boy playing on the opposing team and she also went up to the boy and told him she knew he was masculine (I am not sure if she said man or boy). The school proceeded to sanction her for harrassment, and the case has gotten a lot of local and some national media attention. FAIR has stepped in to support the girl. One of our members informed us in today's peer-support group that a local podcaster has interviewed the girl and the boy, and he was able to provide a link to the latter (it sounds like the former is paywalled).
Here is the letter FAIR wrote to the Office of Civil Rights asking them to investigate this case: https://www.fairforall.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Civil-Rights-Complaint_Tumwater-Schools.pdf
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

Tweet from Israeli Haviv Rettig Gur tied to Charlie Kirk and America
I've been in America for the past week, and I'll be here for a few days more. It's been a week of pain and rage and confusion. Charlie Kirk's murder surfaced a great many of America's latent anxieties and fissures. On the left, I witnessed a startled discovery of the scale of their own self-validating lies, in this case about both Charlie and his murder. Stephen King apologized for repeating the claim Charlie had called for the stoning of gays, a claim pushed as fact in left-wing discourse. Elsewhere in American discourse, raging antisemites garnered millions of likes and tens of millions of views by claiming Israel had killed Charlie - and a CNN anchor was stupid enough to ask on air if it was true.
Lies, rage and a sense of things falling apart, an America that feels itself dissolving, and with nowhere to turn to for wisdom and respite.
I can offer neither, though my heart breaks for America's current state. But there is wisdom to be found elsewhere, sages and books ...
