Update! Thaaaat's feminism.

I need to know what happened here in 1620.

1. This weekend, Trump repeated a false claim that youth were getting sex change operations at school and being sent home another gender. Moms For Liberty cofounder Tiffany Justice stated she knew it was a lie, but was thankful for the lie. Subscribe to support my journalism.

2. The claim that youth were being given "operations" at school was stated at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin. Trump appears to be leaning into some of the most extreme anti-trans lies of any major political candidate. Read my latest story here: erininthemorning.com/p/moms-for-lib…

The Georgia school shooter was a bigot who wrote about being inspired to commit a massacre by an image of a family supporting their trans daughter. That didn't stop right-wing influencers from using the incident to promote anti-trans hate and market anti-trans merch. 🧵

CNN spent 15 minutes covering the 500+ bills targeting the rights of trans people in the first half of 2024. ZERO of their segments featured an actual trans voice. I'm sick and tired of my community being reduced to a way to scare people. We're just trying to live our lives.

I don’t know what’s funnier, the fact that Stephen King is 100% correct or the fact that they don’t think someone who’s written 65 books can understand 6th grade science

"There is an obvious link between the promotion of dehumanising content, such as deliberately intimidating people outside emergency accommodation settings or where they are living in tents etc, and the rise of violent attacks on people seeking asylum. irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4147…

The European Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that Apple must pay €13 billion to Ireland in unpaid taxes, something the Irish government has argued against. Read here: jrnl.ie/6483504t

The #AppleTax money could have built an extra 40,000 public and affordable homes by now if the government had not created a special illegal tax deal for Apple. The government fought for a tax dodging corporation against the interests of ordinary people.

Let this be the end, once and for all, of the “is Ireland a tax haven?” debate. It’s now a matter of settled law. We gave illegal State Aid via sweetheart tax evasion strategies to large corporations. #AppleTax

For anyone who wants to understand how the #AppleTax scam worked, and the government's defence of it at the time, an article I wrote eight (gulp!) years ago. broadsheet.ie/2016/08/31/app…

Ireland is a corporate tax haven.

How about we use the €13bn to kickstart a public construction company to build housing directly. No handing public land to developers, no more selling to vulture funds. We built Cabra, Crumlin, Marino and ballyfermot, let's do it again!

Oh no, we’re be forced to accept €13 billion in taxes … whatever will we do with it? Answers on a postcard to S Harris, Government buildings (beside the new bike rack), Dublin

Welcome to the sunlight Chris Roach. Roach was an attorney working for the conservative firm, Lawfair, working on major cases seeking to gut trans rights and affirmative action. He turned out to be a white supremacist groyper who regularly posted racist and antisemitic content.

He no longer works at the firm and was fired after wired asked for comment. wired.com/story/lawfair-…

These schoolgirls were singing the Under my Umbrella song while having their pic taken under the umbrellas on Anne's Lane. Extremely cute.
