The transgender community and LGBTQ+ activists rallied at the Texas Capitol in Austin in response to a string of anti-transgender bills on March 27, 2023.Photo: Reginald Mathalone/NurPhoto via APThe Texas Senate passed a first-of-its-kind bill last week that would make it virtually impossible for a trans person of any age to access gender-affirming care in the state. All those invested in trans liberation have known from the jump that this has been the Republicans’ end game; the relentless attempts to ban trans children’s medical care were simply an opening salvo to a wider attack on all trans existence. Texas Senate Bill 1029 makes this genocidal agenda abundantly clear, while introducing an insidious new strategy for expanding trans health care bans to adults: financial liability.Many trans adults already lack access to transition-related health care in the seven states, including Texas, where Medicaid coverage of such care is prohibited.

Recall effort against Arizona election denier fails

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 14:31:13 GMT

Organizers of an effort to remove a rural Arizona county supervisor for skepticism over the results of last year’s election announced that they have fallen short of the legal requirement to proceed with a recall effort that would have given voters the option of removing him from office.The campaign to recall Tom Crosby in rural Cochise County said Wednesday night that it fell short of collecting the 4,865 signatures required to place the recall on the ballot for voters later this year. Crosby is one of two Republican supervisors on the three-member board who refused to certify the 2022 election in the county. They pushed for hand counting ballots instead of relying on more accurate voting machines and gave oversight of elections to the county’s elected Republican recorder instead of nonpartisan staff. The recorder then hired a new election director who shared memes echoing former President Donald Trump’s false claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.“This will ...

NASCAR 75: Fan growth, new stars among looming challenges

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 14:31:13 GMT

NASCAR is crumbling. That is the image being presented to the casual fan early in this injury-plagued start to NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season. Through the first 11 races this season, NASCAR has handed down massive penalties, some of which have been overturned by appeal panels.Team owners are in a stalemate with NASCAR leadership over a new revenue model and drivers have been unhappy with the second-year Next Gen car’s performance at certain tracks. Most alarming, as NASCAR is in the thick of negotiating a new television contract, was the dramatic drop in TV ratings when Chase Elliott was sidelined earlier this season. Elliott has been voted NASCAR’s most popular driver by the fans the last five years; when he spent six races recovering from a broken leg suffered in a snowboarding accident, ratings dropped by roughly 500,000 viewers. And when he returned? NASCAR saw back-to-back ratings increases. As part of the celebration of NASCAR’s 75th season, The Associated ...
