Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's blatantly unconstitutional order imposing new restrictions on gender affirming care for trans people of all ages cites coverage from the New York Times in justifying an 18 month waiting period for receiving care

Banking regulators told The Lever this week that “these pledges ended with the failure of the bank,” evaporating an expected source of affordable mortgage and small-business loans in California. The move could leave thousands of planned Bay Area affordable housing units in jeopardy at a time when a quarter of area residents are struggling to afford basic necessities, and halted a $10 million program to increase homeownership in communities of color.
Those pledges were made as part of an $11 billion community benefits agreement signed by Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, ahead of a major merger in 2021. Progressive lawmakers and financial reform groups had urged regulators to preserve the agreement as a condition of SVB’s sale to First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, but no such terms were included in the deal they ultimately struck.
The Federal Reserve approved the [2021 SVB merger] deal without fanfare, asserting that “customers of both banks would benefit.” To try to ensure that those benefits actually accrued outside of SVB’s tech and venture-capital bubble, community groups negotiated an agreement that included pledges of $4 billion in small-business lending, $1 billion in residential mortgage loans, and $10 million in down payment and other assistance for low-to-moderate income homebuyers.
But SVB’s collapse and the dissolution of that agreement is a prime example of why voluntary commitments are no substitute for robust regulation, said CRC’s Gonzalez-Brito — and why regulators should stop the practice of rubber-stamping mergers.
Damn, almost like these "pledges" should instead be iron-clad requirements that can't be dodged by large banks acquiring these holdings.
If only the so-called "regulators" actually gave a shit about how these bank mergers were going to affect the communities they are in.

And not like, Twitter personality or pundit; the man was in the machine:
Daou was an online communications adviser to the John Kerry 2004 presidential campaign. He led Hillary Clinton's digital operation in her 2008 campaign and was an outspoken Clinton advocate in 2016.[16]
During the 2020 primaries, Daou penned a widely-shared op-ed for The Nation in which he implored Democrats, progressives, and leftists to table their 2016 differences and avoid a fight over the candidacy of Bernie Sanders.[17] In November 2019, he appeared on the Sanders campaign "Hear the Bern" podcast in support of the #NotMeUs movement.[18] In March 2020, he explained on The Intercept his support for Sanders and insights gained from past experience working for the Democratic Party's establishment.[19]
In 2019, Daou and his wife, Leela, became advisors to the progressive congressional campaigns of Lindsey Boylan (NY-10), Lauren Ashcraft (NY-12), Rebecca Parson (WA-06), and Melanie D'Arrigo (NY-03).[20]
In April 2020, Daou and his wife formally left the Democratic Party and are both currently unaffiliated with any political party.[21]
On February 14, 2022, Daou posted a tweet where he denounced capitalism and stated that he considers himself a non-specific "leftist". However, he views David Graeber as an influence and sympathizes with Anarchism[22]
EDIT: feels like coming full circle thematically on the earlier Paul the Apostle tangent.

But Marianne Williamson is an absolute kook
“I was quick when I came in here, I’m twice as quick now”
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
Williamson got points from me for being the only presidential primary candidate that I can remember ever publically advocating, on a debate stage no less, for reparations. She justified her presence that night with that line alone, in my opinion.
The thing is that Williamson isn't and hasn't been a candidate that has any real shot, so we don't need to invest a lot of energy in her campaign. It's interesting for a few reasons that Peter Daou is running her campaign but also he's never really run one of those before so uh I imagine that everyone involved is pretty realistic about their chances
Like her very presence is somehow tainting or making mockery of the process. Unlike all those Serious Candidates, like "former prosecutor" or "unsuccessful mayor," the candidates you can really rally around
I wouldn't vote for her, but every year there's tons of people I don't vote for, who cares
Rest in piss. It sounds like they're still gonna use the remains of it for shitty alt right propaganda media stuff, just not as a twitter clone, though.

I just don't appreciate she's an anti vax anti science weirdo, like we need less of that type getting any profile anywhere.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I mean, that's true for a bunch of candidates, innit?
As an outsider having experienced several primaries and presidential elections from way over here, I think that process also demeans everyone involved.

Our entire electoral and governmental system is debased, loathesome, and venal. Its a bunch of rich fucks sitting around deciding which friends get favors and which poor people die. Its impossible for one slightly batty woman to make it any more reprehensible than it already is.

The New York Times and Benjamin Ryan are writing another transphobic hit piece looking for providers who "have misgivings about gender affirming care." Providers and advocates should ignore any outreach or requests for comment from Ryan as he is another Jesse Singal.
Update: The Times decided not to have a freelancer write this article, so they killed it two days ago. But thanks for doxing me, Alejandra, you're such a champ.
Good news, the NYT has killed the transphobic piece by Benjamin Ryan.
He's still trying to pitch it to other outlets. I hear the Daily Stormer might be interested.
I knew that email would get posted on Twitter eventually. So I am fine with it being out there. But the Times is not going to run this piece, so that's important context. I'll just pitch it somewhere else.

Yeah like her inanity was a precursor to the current anti vax morons. Also didn't she go on Fox news to get her message out?

But if my choices are her or Biden then she's got my vote.

Listen some candidates are cops, others were segregationists. Some are kooks
Cant let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
That kind of Sophie's Choice is not something I want to look forward to.
Don't worry, you're actual options will be worse.
