But ultimately, Miller said the goal may be to garner headlines and get the mandate before the conservative-leaning Supreme Court.

Welp we'll find out how low the supreme court wants to go I suppose

Look number one, whether or not she is xy has not been confirmed. It was reported by a Russian controlled organization only after she beat a Russian fighter, and they haven't actually released their results or methods.

Second, what the posted article is referring to, if she was indeed xy (which is just suspect Russian heresay at this point), is androgen insensitivity syndrome. Meaning she wouldn't be able to derive benefit from testosterone anyways. This is also different from trans individuals on a number of levels. Though Russia of course sees it as beneficial both for smearing anyone that beats their own athletes, as well as stoking popular lgbt hatred in their own country.

The only story here is Russia co opting international sports organizations for their own purposes once again, just like when they had state organized doping of their athletes that went all the way to the top involving the flipping FSB. Now they are also using it to try and spread fear and hate of trans individuals, even though it wouldn't be trans in this case it would be intersex if what they said is true, and we have no actual confirmations that she is intersex anyway. I'll believe it when an organization not controlled by Russia shows it (and even if they were correct it's very likely she wouldn't be deriving any advantages from it).

They've made similar unsubstantiated claims against another boxer. They still haven't released any specifics of their testing, and they only made these claims after they claimed world championship titles in each case. What a coincidence.

I doubt either of them is actually xy. This Russian boxing organization was banned by the international community for good reason.

Look, the American press struggles with these abstract political concepts. The words like liberalism, socialism, etc have lost all meaning.

But to some it up, her position in the 2019 primaries was somewhere in between Biden's and Sander's position. Basically a Medicare advantage for all (with straight public option included and available to all but private insurers not excluded just strictly regulated). I'm interested in what she comes out actually proposing now that she's most likely the candidate.

If anything it seems like the media hasn't grasped just how bad this is. Too focused on plastering the front page every day with more anonymous source opinions on if Biden is going to stay in the race or not. The whole official vs unofficial acts thing just has tricked people to believing there's some discretion or something. There's not. If it's a power listed in the constitution, like the military or pardons, the president can legally do whatever they want with that power for any reason. And the unofficial vs official acts determination explicitly doesn't allow consideration of motives or results. So talking to justice department employees is official? Alright, then talking with justice department employees to coordinate a bribe or a coup means immunity. As long as the president is using functions of government to commit crimes basically, they're golden.

Whaaaaaaa???? But I thought Israel totally didn't have any nuclear weapons

A lot of places, to varying degrees:

Usually in the US more by making it illegal to sign government contracts with any boycotters of Israel, or by preventing public funds from investing into any entities perceived as boycotting Israel. These things could be devastating to any businesses or non profits that work with the government, or any publicly traded companies (due to decreased investment). Technically boycotting Israel in general can't be made illegal in the US, as that would be a free speech violation.

Even in their public warning they specified concerts specifically. I imagine the private warning to the Russian government was even more specific.

Went to medical school, yet somehow doesn't know the difference between RNA or DNA, or how transcription works. This isn't crispr here, your body is bombarded with nucleic acids all the time.

Good chance they'll be kicked out of their home or worse. There's an epidemic of lgbt youth homelessness nationwide, and it's even worse in Utah for obvious reasons. Schools should not be carte blanche informing parents without permission from the student, it's a safety issue. Reading their full guidance for teachers in another comment above it's making some very reasonable suggestions to help ensure student safety.

There's a lot of problems with this. Just some include that it's a blog and doesn't link to the actual study so it's impossible to see what's going on with the this report. They also never explain what this "reliability score" even means or what's included in that. Then they start doing things like using a percent to compare the scores saying this is percent more reliable. But we still don't even know what this score is, and comparing as a percent may not make any sense to say depending on what the scores are and how they're calculated. Unfortunately you can't really draw any conclusions from what's in this article.

Close, but they didn't even claim to investigate themselves. They just created a document of theoretical standards they pinky swear they will follow in the future but that they claim no one has the power to actually judge them by.

Anyways they're wrong, congress has the power to regulate the supreme court, including removing justices. Good luck finding a 2/3rd vote for that though.

Having so much money that it's hard to even conceptualize, and you decide its best use is to hurt trans children. Disgusting.

If they were actually concerned about their well being, how about starting with the widespread youth lgbt homelessness across the country? Or you know, actually improving their access to health care instead of working to cut it off?
