My brilliant colleague @imillhiser is up on @IngrahamAngle to discuss the Masterpiece Cakeshop case with a lawyer from the anti-LGBTQ hate group @AllianceDefends. #OpenToAll
2. Here's the clip of the interview. Let's fact check a couple things, because @AllianceDefends' Jim Campbell and @IngrahamAngle get quite a few things about #MasterpieceCakeshop wrong.

THREAD: There seems to be a lot of misinformation circulating about the new anti-trans Masterpiece Cakeshop drama, so let's clear some things up about discrimination.

2. First of all, attorney Autumn Scardina ordered a BIRTHDAY CAKE, but @AllianceDefends conspicuously NEVER MENTIONS this in its new lawsuit on Phillips' behalf. For that info, you have to read the complaint Scardina actually filed. Here it is:
3. When the CCRC ruled in Scardina's favor, it ALSO noted that it was a birthday cake. Phillips' wife, who took the call, said she didn't understand that, but Scardina called a SECOND TIME and made clear it was a birthday cake. Here's the CCRC analysis:

I just tried Kaizo Mario 1 for the first time and getting across that first bullet bill gap felt like the most amazing accomplishment ever. cc: @GrandPOOBear @Carl_Sagan42
@GrandPOOBear @Carl_Sagan42 Oh man, I actually cleared a level of Kaizo Mario.
Thank goodness for save sates.

A quick thread about why I just teared up a little bit at my desk...

1. So, like a good music geek, I still have old recordings of band and choral festivals from when I was in HS, some of which survived several computer swaps to be live on in my Google Music drive...
2. In 2002 (I was a junior in HS), at our all-county band festival, we played a Frank Ticheli piece called An American Elegy, which was a tribute to the Columbine school shooting — which had taken place just 3 years prior.
3. When Ticheli started working on the piece, he wanted to base it on Columbine's alma mater. But Columbine didn't have an alma mater, so Ticheli WROTE the school an alma mater, that composed a concert band piece based on it.

THREAD: Yesterday I published my response to Jesse Singal's incredibly problematic cover story at @TheAtlantic about trans kids. Here are a few of my topline takeaways I hope you'll keep in mind: thinkprogress.org/atlantic-jesse…
2. Most importantly, the piece is full of dog whistles that will appeal to parents who are inclined not to affirm their transgender children. Singal attempts "balance" by countering many of his own points, but they are points that shouldn't be made in the first place.
3. Imagine writing a story about how Jews are greedy or black people's brains are inferior, but then countering all the points you made. Racists would still feel affirmed you reinforced their prejudices, and it's the same with suggesting trans kids' identities aren't legit.

A THREAD:

1. The first piece I wrote after the Pulse shooting was one of the hardest things I've ever written. "No, we cannot weep together," I told anti-LGBTQ Christians begging for credit for the sympathy they were offering us - thinkprogress.org/no-we-cannot-w…
2. My sentiment resonated. @roddreher responded directly in the NYT with an op-ed called, "Waving a Blood-Soaked Rainbow Flag to Scapegoat Christians." nytimes.com/roomfordebate/…
3. But nearly two full years after the shooting, I think my point has been proven, and then some.

Indeed, it now seems that anti-LGBTQ forces capitalized on our trauma for their own intolerant purposes.

MEGATHREAD: Today's the release of @RyanTAnd's new anti-trans book, When Harry Became Sally, so let's review some of the many lies and distortions he relies upon to justify his prejudice.

Reminder: He seemingly didn't speak to a single trans person for a book about trans issues.
2. I've already written on the book twice, but this thread will include many flaws that didn't make it into my review, because it was already too long.

REVIEW: thinkprogress.org/review-when-ha…

Follow-up reporting on detransitioners' stories used w/o permission: thinkprogress.org/detransitioner…
3. @RyanTAnd's main premise is that being transgender is a mental illness and trans people should not be affirmed in their gender ID.

He ignores all evidence as to why transition is good and provides no ideas as to what would work better (let alone any evidence to support them).
