More women have now been sexually abused by police in women's restrooms because of anti-trans laws than have ever been assaulted by trans women.

Today in Labor History March 13, 1979: The Marxist New Jewel movement, led by Maurice Bishop, overthrew the prime minister of Grenada. Bishop led the People’s Revolutionary Government of Grenada until 1983, when he was overthrown and executed in a coup supported by the U.S. Bishop supported anti-racist struggles around the world and the fight to end Apartheid. Under his leadership, Granada gave women equal pay to men and provided paid maternity leave. They also banned sexual discrimination and introduced free public health and literacy programs that brought the national illiteracy rate from 35% down to 5%. In 1983, the U.S. invaded Granada. 19 U.S. soldiers and 45 Grenadian soldiers died in the fighting that ensued. The invasion effectively ended the so-called “Vietnam Syndrome,” where U.S. leaders feared that overt regime change, with U.S. boots on the ground, would spark large antiwar protests, like those that rocked the nation in the 1960s and early 70s. The Grenada invasion paved the way for much more aggressive interventions like Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.
here's a poll as research for my "isms of #nudism / #naturism" video idea that will highlight the barriers that so many face against participating in nonsexual public nudity, like #ableism #racism #transphobia #sexism anti #tattoo or #bodyModification , economic instability/being poor, and so on. Boosts appreciated!
Please only answer if you identify as a nudist, naturist, or otherwise nonsexual public nudity supporter. Feel free to reply with custom answers as well!

Every time I see the cycling dudes who kicked me and the only other woman who wasn't their girlfriend out of the early formation of a cycle advocacy group, I think about how their orientation was as much about making sure they were creating non-profit jobs for themselves as it was cycle advocacy...

A proposed new law in Texas, by Republican Tom Oliverson, would make it illegal in that state to identify as trans, which he's calling "Gender Identity Fraud." The law would punish people who identify as trans with up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Probably not long before Trump tries to do the same on a federal level. Whoops, he kinda already did with passports.
And with his illegal transferring of trans women prisoners into male prisons, in violation of several court orders. There are already reports of sexual assaults against these women.
Remember, first they came for the trans folks, and undocumented immigrants, and people didn't speak up because they weren't one of them.
Then they came for documented immigrants and those with legal residency because they spoke out against the Genocide in Gaza; as well as cis women of color, because they didn't conform to white, bourgeois ideals of femininity.
No one is free unless we ALL are free.
Number of bathroom assaults by trans and nonbinary people = 0
Percentage of trans & nonbinary youth assaulted in bathrooms = 17.6-27%.
Bathroom bans & potty policing are an attack on trans and nonbinary people AND on women, particularly women of color, who don't fit the white, bourgeois ideals of femininity.
Today in Labor History March 8, 1911: The first modern International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and the U.S. IWD has its roots in the suffrage movement of New Zealand, and leftist labor organizing in the U.S. and Europe. The earliest Women’s Days were organized by the Socialist Party of America, in New York, in 1909, and by German socialists in 1910. They chose the date of March 8 in honor of the garment workers strikes in New York that occurred on March 8, in 1857 and 1908. However, the first IWD celebrated on March 8, the current date, was in 1911. The holiday was associated primarily with far-left movements until the feminist movement adopted it in the 1960s, when it became a more mainstream celebration.

Today in Labor History March 8, 1908: Thousands of workers in the New York needle trades (mostly women) launched a strike for higher wages, shorter hours and an end to child labor. They chose this date in commemoration of the 1857 strike. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed to the Second International, that March 8 be celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate this strike and the one in 1857.
Today in Labor History March 8, 1857: Women garment workers picketed in New York City, demanding a 10-hour workday, better working conditions, and equal rights for women. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed to the Second International, that March 8 be celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate this strike.
"DEI judge," influencer Jack Posobiec complained on X, suggesting that she was a "diversity, equity & inclusion" hire - presumably because she is a #woman. [#Trump hired her]
Their criticism of her comes despite Justice #AmyConeyBarrett consistently voting in favour of conservative cases, from ending the landmark #RoeVWade #abortion rights to expanding #gun rights.
#SCOTUS Justice #AmyConeyBarrett was among the justices who rejected the #Trump admin's attempt to avoid paying federal contractors as part of the gutting of the #USAID program.
"She is a rattled law professor with her head up her a**," said Mike Davis, who once worked for another #SupremeCourt justice, describing Justice Barrett as "weak & timid".
[Chief Justice John Robert’s ALSO joined the majority in rejecting Trump’s argument to suspend USAID]
Not #loyal enough to #Trump? #MAGA turns on #SCOTUS judge appointed by Trump
Staunch #conservative Justice #AmyConeyBarrett was picked by Donald Trump for the #SupremeCourt. Now his fans are turning against her.
There has been anger from #FarRight personalities following a couple of recent 5-4 rulings in which she has been [one of] the deciding vote[s] against Trump's agenda.

From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

Why did Harris lose?
Wasn't because of sexism or racism. Or even transphobia (although the latter probably motivated many MAGA diehards).
29% of Dems who voted for Biden in 2020 refused to vote for Harris in 2024 because of Biden's support for the genocide in Gaza. This reason surpassed most of the usual issues that motivate voters, including the economy, abortion, and immigration.
