🔥 Julie Lane testifies in opposition to SB418 which would redefine sex to include gender identity specifically in a medical setting. This would require (among other harms) docs to administer wrong sex exams and procedures if patients demand it.
👀 Julie call out @Scott_Wiener
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
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
I just hope he doesn't go in the other direction via overreach, say in terms of overestricting word usage (and threatening to pull funds), or suing or threatening to pull licenses for media companies if he doesn't like what they are saying (except in cases of libel or slander). I wasn't keen, either, on keeping the AP out for not using Gulf of America.
MacIntyre attempts to address the question of overreach by widening the frame and interrogating liberalism as an operating system. Yes, we all subscribe to those ideas, but what is the material power structure operating underneath that story?
Whatever it is, it's collapsing. We must see it for what it is.

best nuanced and accurate view of the harvard civil right violations (title vi, title vii, title ix) resulting from decades shift of focus from object truth seeking to marxist ideology activism. it even includes potential free speech concerns of the trump administration. ironically, she is only 24 and probably the youngest person i have seen to review this.
