The previously obscure spa became the focus of national attention last month when Tucker Carlson uncritically presented as fact claims made by a Christian patron in a viral video that might have been a hoax. In the video, which Carlson took from an Instagram feed run by pro-Trump activist Jesse Holguin, the Christian woman claimed, without evidence, that she had just been traumatized by seeing a trans woman’s genitals in the spa. While complaining to the spa’s staff about the trans woman’s nudity, the woman who made the video also insisted that “there ain’t no such thing as transgender.”

A federal judge on Monday extended recent court restrictions on the Los Angeles Police Department’s use of hard-foam projectiles at protests, granting a preliminary injunction on the weapons that had been requested by protest groups suing the city.
U.S. District Judge Consuelo B. Marshall issued her ruling after finding that Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and other activists had successfully shown that they faced “irreparable harm” at future protests if the court did not intervene to restrict the weapons.
Her ruling largely keeps in place measures reining in the LAPD’s use of the weapons at street demonstrations that had previously been issued under a more temporary restraining order, which Marshall granted last month.
