Today is Election Day in Wisconsin. On the ballot is a highly consequential Supreme Court race and several local races and issues.

If you live in WI and haven’t voted, go vote for Janet Protasiewicz. Her election can break GOP hold on the state bringing fair election maps, ensuring reproductive rights, and much more.

🗳️ Polls are open 7am-8pm.
🗳️ Bring photo ID.
🗳️ If you’re not registered to vote, you can register same day at your polling place.

A GOP legislator in FL introduced a bill to abolish the Democratic Party. Lawmakers in ID have a bill that would make it a crime to vaccinate people against Covid. Another in Montana wants to make it a crime for vaccinated people to give blood.

Imagine if publications like the NYT devoted even half as much space reporting on these kinds of efforts, as a trend, as they give to the right's trans panic, bullshit whining about "cancel culture" or college kids being too "woke."

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"
