Anytime mental health or addiction is the basis of an incapacity proceeding, the result is always an imperfect fit at best or a heinous deprivation of civil rights, e.g. Brittany Spears.

Lawyer, parent, trans woman, ex-journalist, ex-competitive swimmer, and ex-male impersonator, during which time I was a producer of unreadable fiction about jealous moons seeking castration and other confessions of an egg.

Guardianship law if the majority of my practice. Guardianship is a terrible solution for homelessness, mental health issues, addictions. Subjecting such veterans to the courts will only exacerbate their mental health issues. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Happy birthday - I love your work - It's my birthday too! So I'm going to subscribe as a present to both of us.
I thought that was abolished - but it looks like NC is one of 6 states that still allow this. Wild.
why not - mimicry works elsewhere.

Apparently, Katie Ledecky, the greatest female American swimmer living if not ever, made $250K for her 2024 Olympics.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that weโd never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
Elected officials who inform their constituents about federal and constitutional law are doing their jobs. That includes when they remind service members that they could be prosecuted for following unlawful orders because it's a violation of the Constitution. That is the law.
so when are we taking away the tax-exempt status for the Catholic Church for hiding pedophiles?

This speech is now an Emmy winner.
The continued failures to connect Kirk's murder to the trans community could raise awareness that the GOP trans fixation aims to distract the public from issues that could inflict actual harm upon them, like many GOP policies.
Reminder (mostly to me) that international press has more accurate information about what is happening in the US
Looks like Wilson rediscovered his deep ball.
There's a lot of news, but I will take a minute and again say that while this has been a big story, it's been badly under-covered relative it it's importance.
Breaking: The @wsj.com is reporting that the comment was not made by Brian Kilmeade but by an unidentified transgender person
I can almost see the future SCOTUS opinion, proudly citing Buck v Bell to justify whatever horror Stephen Miller conjures against transgender people. 6-3, of course.
Ezra- Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.ย What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populationsโtrans people, Black women, and moreโwho Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.ย When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.ย Marisa

You're the best.
Best advice to give the trans community today. This is not the time to knee-jerk reactions. That is what they are hoping for. Do not give them what they want.

A Brazilian trans woman, in the US legally under asylum, has been taken and disappeared by ICE.
Yeah my kids watched it at least three dozen times this summer. I can even recommend youtube dance tutorials for "soda pop"
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.
And then that guy was "silenced" forever.
And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

A fuckeulogy for the ages by @josie.zone:
Candidates that don't suck is not too unreasonable of a request.
"Any candidate cynically 'triangulating' on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. Thereโs still so much time to advance candidates that DONโT suck."
