🚨 The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal law does not shield freight brokers from state negligence lawsuits when they hire unsafe trucking companies.


I know it's tempting to say: If you girls would just stand down and refuse to compete, this whole boys in girls sports thing would be fixed. It's not true. Many girls have stood down. Not every girl, all at once (which is an impossibility to coordinate across leagues and sports, etc). But I promise you, it's not the end all be all to end this. It's just not. And it puts all the onus on children. Children who only get a few seasons. To ask them -- all of them -- to give that up . . . because leaders, adults won't do the right thing? It's not right. We have an Executive Order. We have the biggest most important and influential sport governing body in the world, the IOC, saying they will protect women's sports. And we supposedly have 80% (at least) of Americans on the side of girls and women. And still, here we are. AB Hernandez won 3 events at CIF prelims over the weekend. If you really think girls are gonna get done what the President and the IOC cannot . . . you're wrong. What we need is the leaders of the sports governing bodies to do the right thing. And we need to call on them to do it. What we need is for the 80% of adults who have the common sense to know that boys should not be in girls' sports to stand up and say ENOUGH. The vast majority of them are still silent. Make it a non-starter for a coach to field a boy on a girls' team. Say something, anything. Make this absolutely unacceptable. Because it is. Girls, if you want to stand down, do it. I support you. So many do. If you compete, and also speak up about the unfairness, I and @xx_xyathletics are here to support you. And so many others. But the grown ass adults, the professional women athletes, the team owners, the league leaders, the coaches, the parents watching all of this unfold -- STEP UP. That's who we need to call on.






AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”
