A judge has freed Sean Dunn—who threw a sandwich at an ICE fascist—ruling that a felony charge is excessive.

To be clear, MAGA snowflakes celebrated Trump for pardoning Nazis who physically beat cops to death with pipes, but tried to charge a man armed with a sandwich with a felony.🤔 Incredible.

Strange Animals Podcast is a wonderful thing I discovered by accident when looking up a strange animal fact for a friend's kid six months ago, and have stayed in love with ever since.

@KateShaw has made a new episode, featuring salinella, a creature I've never heard of before:

If you take part in school sport, 99% of the time you are losing. Unless you are Olympic quality, someone somewhere is going to beat you. "Winning" is a bad reason to do sport, even though it is put on a pedestal by our culture.

Better reasons to do sport are fitness, personal challenge, teamwork and community.

Bans on trans children taking part in sport are always about "winning unfairly", when in reality most kids (and most of those trans kids) were never in line for medals anyway.

What the trans bans are really about is excluding trans children from fitness, personal challenge, teamwork and community. #trans #transRights
