Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:36 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Still no Nick Bosa? Correct, and still no panic from 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan.“No, it’s going pretty much exactly how I expected it to go,” Shanahan said Tuesday, before the penultimate practice of a Bosa-less training camp.If Shanahan had such a strong feeling Bosa’s contract stalemate would drag on this close to the regular-season opener (Sept. 10 in Pittsburgh), then when does he feel a deal will be reached?“Hopefully sooner than later,” Shanahan said without a hint of anger.Bosa has been on the roster’s reserve list since not reporting to camp July 25. Shanahan said he hasn’t kept in touch with him since then, and Bosa has stayed out of the public eye while presumably training on his own in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he works out in the offseasons.Bosa did post an Instagram picture earlier Tuesday from a skyscraper amid New York City, perhaps signaling that business is picking up between his agent, Brian Ayrault an...

Alabama Trans Health Care Ruling is a Worrying Omen for a Future SCOTUS Decision

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:36 GMT

A person holds up a sign reading “Trans People Belong in Alabama” during a rally outside the Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala., on International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, 2023.Photo: Kim Chandler/APThree Trump-appointed federal judges ruled on Monday to allow one of the country’s harshest bans on gender-affirming care for minors to go into effect. In Alabama, a doctor who treats a trans person under 19 years old with puberty blockers or hormones could now face felony charges carrying up to 10 years in prison. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision reverses an injunction that temporarily blocked the health care ban and stands at odds with the majority of federal court decisions on the issue so far. The disturbing ruling gives the clearest outline yet of the reactionary judicial logic that could be used to decimate trans peoples’ right to necessary health care, should the issue be taken up by the far-right Supreme Court: the very same reasoning used...
