She fully didn't watch the segment because Jon did a very nuanced, thoughtful segment. He drilled down to kids just wanting to have a community and have fun.
What these TERFS are pissed off about is that he showed how disingenuous y'all are when you go "omg that trans athlete hit a ball really hard and it hurt a cis women" because when you look into it cis women even on their team hit harder then them. Because he pointed out that cis girls harm each other in sports all the damn time. He pointed out that when there was a bill to protect cis women athletes against sexual predators like coaches. Y'all decided not to pass that while passing an anti-trans bills all while claiming you just care about protecting women.

US History.

Let's connect some dots here
The Trump administration kidnaps and sends hundreds of people to a prison camp in El Salvador with no due process (meaning they never have to prove these people committed whatever offence the Admin claims)
The Administration sets the precedent that anyone, up to green card holder and naturalized citizens, will be subject to this for practicing free speech in a way the Administration doesn't like
The Administration puts out two Executive Orders, one which says they believe trans people and parents of trans children are all sexual offenders and another that anyone who criticizes Israel is a terrorist
The President puts out a statement, in public, saying he wants to find ways to send US citizens to those foreign prison camps
The Administration directly defies 2 different SCOTUS decisions that say anyone who is deported must get due process and (this one a unanimous decision) they must return a wrongfully deported man
The US President now tells the President of El Salvador, again in public, that they will need to expand their facilities because he wants to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador very soon
We aren't even in boiling the frog territory any more, we're in a flash frier.
Like I hate sounding like a fucking tinfoil hat nutjob, but it's clear as day, right? He's saying exactly what he wants to do. And no one is doing anything about it. They're just saying "hey that's illegal!" and then letting it happen anyway.
Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa have all seen their right-wing parties collapse in popularity since Trump took over.
We were headed for a hard-right turn, but this shift is absolutely unprecedented in modern times. The stark reality of a right wing nationalist future really got people to pay attention.
Unfortunately, it's at the cost of the millions of us in the US who will now suffer
"Inbred Of The Day!" Agent Orange has put air in these mthfkrs chests...!
Sooooo few people are actually willing to defend the basic human rights of people who have committed crimes. Like I know it's not fun but if you genuinely believe in human rights as a concept you can't be okay with the state violating them in prisons I'm sorrrrry. Having moral principles is not always a fun time.
The pot calling the kettle black...!
The US Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday unveiled a pilot program for the National Institutes of Health to tap into Medicare and Medicaid data in its search for the root causes of autism. The database — which HHS said will draw from insurance claims, medical records, and data from wearable technology such as smartwatches — is one of the first steps in HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid to find the causes of autism “by September.”
47 is being stopped by the Constitution, not “activist judges.”
Remember, they are revoking visas and Green Cards for social media posts.
It's not about deporting criminals. The Trump administration believes the executive branch has the final say on who is and isn't allowed in the country. Enacting the Alien Enemies Act during peace time is proof of this.
They want you gone unless you pay for Trump's golden visa.
What is old is new again.
I wish all these bastards a very Trial at the Hague.
Every goddamn vote on every goddamn issue matters and can have ripple effects. Anyone who says not to vote because of whining about political purity or anything like that can eat my entire ass.
So many bizarro hot takes about First Nations people only make sense if you see “Native” as a quirky little ethnic category that you put down on a census and not, you know, a type of citizenship you can have from one of several sovereign fucking nations that we have treaties with. Like. “They’re only 2% Cherokee” – huh, interesting, tell me, what is the genetic requirement for Cherokee Nation citizenship? Spoiler alert, there fucking isn’t one, and almost all of the tribes which do have a blood quantuming requirement for citizenship had that concession extracted by their colonial conquerors at gunpoint.
Like. Imagine pulling this shit today. Imagine if the US invaded France, and forced their entire population into a reservation somewhere in eastern Slovakia. Imagine if the government of France signed treaties to try and guarantee some small remainder of rights for French citizens in that reservation. And then imagine if US citizens constantly hemmed and hawed about whether the legitimate, elected French government of this reservation should have the ability to continue to govern its own citizens, especially given the fact that not everyone in that reservation is even very ethnically Gaulish… I mean, can someone who’s only 2% French by blood really be considered a French citizen? Shouldn’t we make efforts to ensure that their children can’t continue to claim to be French, or be governed by the French legal jurisdiction?
The whole thing is just such wildly ludicrous propaganda about the nature and purpose of tribal sovereignty, and it is mind-blowing how many people have completely bought into it.
