ST. LOUIS - As a new Missouri law takes effect next week that bans gender-affirming treatments for minors, the New York Times dove deep into one St. Louis pediatric transgender center facing pushback through a series of events described as a "political storm."

Months later, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed a bill into law that would ban transgender children and some adults from acces...

California bill proposes new agency to handle reparations for Black residents

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 01:46:07 GMT

Reparations for Californians who are descendants of Black American slaves are one step closer to becoming a reality, but precisely what those reparations will be has not been defined. Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) introduced SB 490, the first reparations-related bill introduced in the California Legislature since the state reparations task force submitted its final recommendation report to the governor and Legislature earlier this summer. The bill would establish the state government body that would administer reparations. "This will be the start," said Bradford. "In order to implement reparations —whatever it looks like— you need a governmental agency or some sort of oversight department to do so. Before you can even talk about what reparations look like, you need to have the infrastructure there." California task force votes in favor of reparation proposals for Black residents Among the task force's recommendations is a call for the state to create what is known as the "Calif...
