Expectedly abhorrent decision by the US Supreme Court enshrining the dehumanization of trans athletes. All arguments about ‘fairness’ aside, what happens in sport *never* supersedes the basic right of trans people to exist. This is a shameful day for the US.

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.
