Topic: Men's Movement

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has revealed that he has received countless death threat messages on social media in the wake of his declaring that he is eligible to compete in the WNBA. The women’s basketball league has been in hot water as of late over the inclusion of trans-identified males in women’s sports. Speaking with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, Freedom said, “My DMs are full of pictures and videos of the moment that Charlie Kirk got shot. They're saying that I am next very soon, right? And this is unacceptable. And I'm getting death threats once every hour because of simply following the WNBA rules. But the commissioner of the, you know, WNBA, Cuckoo Kathy, I call her, stepped down because she couldn't take the pressure, but I just hope whoever the next commissioner is make the right decision and add the word biological in their collective bargaining, or I am playing in 2027.”

Big Brother Watch said the actual number of arrests could be higher because some forces did not provide complete data.

Florida Sues Netflix, Seeking Billions in Damages
Topic: Children and Family

State AG says streaming giant secretly harvested kids' data. Florida just added Netflix to its growing list of tech targets. On Wednesday, state Attorney General James Uthmeier sued the streamer, accusing it of luring families with promises of privacy and no ads while secretly building a data-hungry ad business and using design features that hook kids into watching more, NBC News reports. "Netflix told Florida families they could pay a monthly fee to escape Big Tech surveillance. That was false," Uthmeier said. "Netflix collected detailed data on children and families, designed its product to keep kids watching, and then commercialized that information to launch the advertising business it promised never to build."

Ajaero attended medical school in Nigeria. He is Christian and said "his religion is an important part of his life." A Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a British Columbia family doctor pay $28,100 after he refused to administer a hormone-blocking injection to a trans-identified teen over the doctor’s religious and cultural beliefs. The tribunal found on September 1 that Dr. Henry Ajaero’s conduct was discriminatory. He has run a family practice in Delta since 2014, per CBC. At a March 2021 appointment, Ajaero had told the trans-identified teen and the teen’s mother that he would not inject Lupron, a medication typically used to treat prostate cancer and early-onset puberty, which has been used by doctors to halt a trans-identified child’s progression through biological puberty, claiming that it “pauses” it. He told the teen and mother he “did not feel comfortable administering it.”

The New York City Council is set to introduce a new bill targeting the press, which would make it easier for city officials to remove the press credentials of journalists. The bill has been backed by NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin. The move comes after there was outrage over three "reporters," who called themselves the "Mangionistas," who were granted badges. Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the time refused to pull their press credentials. Video of the "reporters" went viral of them praising Luigi Mangione, who pleaded guilty in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Alan Dershowitz has requested at least $500K for work for Alexander brothers: NYT. Three brothers convicted in a sprawling New York sex-trafficking case are turning to a familiar name in Trump-world as they eye clemency. Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander have paid Alan Dershowitz hundreds of thousands of dollars since hiring him in March 2025, nearly a year before their trial, according to financial records reviewed by the New York Times. Dershowitz, who helped defend President Trump during his first impeachment trial and has advised him on pardons, told the Times he's working as a consultant on "legal, constitutional and sentencing issues," though a letter he wrote to the brothers' mother also cites work on "executive clemency and judicial reversal."

Judge Rules West Point Violated Faculty's Free Speech

Judge Cathy Seibel says US Military Academy's restrictions breach First Amendment rights. A federal judge just told West Point it can't gag its own professors. In a ruling issued on Tuesday, US District Judge Cathy Seibel said the US Military Academy's policy restricting what faculty can publish or say in public violates the First Amendment, permanently blocking the school from enforcing it, per the Washington Post. The policy, adopted in early 2025 after President Trump ordered military academies to avoid promoting ideas deemed "radical" or "un-American," required professors to get approval before publishing articles, giving speeches at conferences, or even appearing on podcasts. "Close this case," Seibel instructed on Tuesday, per Law & Crime.

Woman Dies After Pelicot-Like Rape Case in Austria
Topic: Violence Against Women

An Austrian case drawing comparisons to France's headline-making Pelicot case has left a 39-year-old woman dead after an alleged sexual assault and her husband under investigation. The woman was discovered by her teenage daughter in their Marchtrenk home on June 26, near Wels, per CNN. Prosecutors say the bleeding, severely injured woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 51-year-old husband initially told police she'd died during "rough sex," and authorities saw no crime, per the Telegraph. A later autopsy, however, indicated her death had come after a sexual assault. [Ed: this is a hideous but rare crime. Its real social impact is the explosion of attention that will land on the issue of rape, marital rape, sexual assault in general...]

Charlie Kirk Memorial Sparks Campus Divide

Classes are off, security is up, and tensions are high at Utah Valley University as a remembrance for Charlie Kirk lands on the anniversary of his killing. Turning Point USA is staging what it calls a "deliberate act of remembrance" for its founder on Thursday night at the Orem campus, drawing high-profile conservative speakers including Glenn Beck and Michael Knowles, per the New York Times. The memorial has split the 48,000-student campus. Some students praise Kirk as a free-speech martyr and plan to attend; others resent the university's one-day shutdown and describe the event as turning a trauma into a quasi-holiday. A left-leaning student group is organizing a protest, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. Kirk's accused killer, Tyler Robinson, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges

Michigan Coaches Knew About Sexualized Hazing: Players' Suit
Topic: Sexual Harassment

School, longtime coach Red Berenson dispute claims. Rituals that players say crossed far beyond hazing and into "torture" are now at the center of a federal lawsuit against the University of Michigan's storied hockey program. Sixteen former players filed suit in Detroit alleging that, from 1984 to 2001, younger team members were routinely stripped, forcibly shaved, penetrated with razor handles, and subjected to other sexualized acts by veterans on the team. USA Today reports the complaint says coaches knew about the behavior, tied participation in the abuse to a player's standing on the team, and told those who objected to "be a Michigan man." The plaintiffs are not named in the filing.

How Charlie Kirk's Murder Chilled Speech at Utah Valley University
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Reason
One year after Kirk was assassinated on campus, Utah Valley students fear expressing themselves. Yesterday, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), my employer, released its annual College Free Speech Rankings. Our rankings use a mixture of student survey responses, college policies, and campus speech controversies to assess the free speech climates at America's top colleges. UVU's ranking fell from 71 out of 257 schools last year to 210 out of 261 schools this year. The deterioration of UVU's speech climate demonstrates something clear: Political violence corrodes a culture of free speech, regardless of someone's politics or administrators' responses. We know this because UVU students told us so.

Now They Think Babies Can Be Racist...
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Zero Hedge
A woman sat in front of a camera this week and told the internet she had witnessed a "racist baby"... Not a joke account. Not a sketch. A straight-faced lecture about an infant who looked at someone for a few seconds - and, in her telling, revealed the original sin of race hatred barely out of the womb. The woman declares that "watching children mirror racist behavior is WILD." She describes a baby staring at her 'friend of colour', the mother looking stricken, and then announces that the child is "literally mimicking" hostility toward "black and brown people." This is not an isolated freak-out. It sits inside a wider epidemic of deranged white leftist women. They police stares, invent motives for infants, and treat ordinary childhood as a moral emergency. These people staff HR departments, classrooms, nurseries and social-work offices. They write the guidance.

Academic Jokes About Celebrating the “Kirkiversary” by Assassinating Nick Shirley. Will Rogers once observed that “Everything is funny, as long as it’s happening to somebody else.” No one ever personified Rogers’ rule as much as University of California, Irvine instructor Matt Goldman, who cracked everyone up this week by joking about celebrating the anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by alluding to the possible assassination of independent journalist Nick Shirley. Today is the anniversary of the murder of Kirk. In anticipation, Goldman posted a picture of Shirley with the line “Someone can do the funniest thing just before the Kirkiversary.” It was a response to an Instagram post by the Harvard Republican Club promoting a speech by Shirley.

Social media companies have a duty to squash hostile attitudes toward women, but not men, according to a new draft amendment. John Humphreys of the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance recently published an informative article about an exposure draft of an amendment to the Online Safety Act 2021. The draft amendment was released earlier this week by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts. Humphrey commented that this broad reform would “[r]equire social media to meet a vague “duty of care” that would be at the discretion of the eSafety Commissar,” and that the revised law would “threaten companies with fines over $100 million if Australia’s chief censor determines that content on the site is too misogynistic or mean.” Humphries comment about “misogynistic” content caught my attention...

As the deadlocked jurors of the Lindsay Clancy trial are sprung from civic duty, several of the women on the jury opened up about what happened behind closed doors. To recap, no verdict was reached in the trial because one lone juror refused to find Lindsay Clancy, a woman who strangled her three young children to death (and admitted to this), not guilty by reason of insanity. But, but but…the Lone Juror admitted that he held doubts after watching a video,” said one juror.

There's No Market Failure in Choosing to Stay Home. So Why Subsidize It?
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Reason
J.D. Vance would like to give money to people for choices they're already making—without a workable plan to actually pay for it. Vice President J.D. Vance wants to pay married parents to stay home with their children, and he wants to do it with money Congress appropriated to help low-income families afford day care. Whatever one thinks of the goal, which may prove popular, the proposal fails every test we should apply to government subsidies. That's because the proposal corrects no market failure. It pays people for choices they're already making. It adds a new claimant class to a budget that cannot carry the ones already promised something. And it does all of this without a workable plan to pay for it.
