In 2018, the cis girl on the left came in 8th in a HS track event. The trans girl on the right came in 1st. The cis girl went on to earn 5 state titles, qualify for nationals 4 times, and now runs D1. The trans girl was pushed out of sports altogether. Guess who's suing who?

I will say more later. But, if you are a journalist writing about today's news. That man was not a sidekick to anyone and he was more than a DJ. He was the glue between the pieces. Give him the credit he deserves!

It’s kind of sad that simply saying “the Holocaust happened, and Hitler was bad” is what counts as a “forceful rebuke” in today’s politics.

"I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure." President Biden issued a forceful rebuke of rapper Kanye West's string of antisemitic remarks and criticized "political leaders" for not doing the same. yhoo.it/3B6Uiop
