This is a fundamental logic of today’s politics. Democrats supported rollbacks of civil rights over and over—from border enforcement to welfare reform to counterterrorism to crushing the Palestine solidarity encampments—and Republicans predictably use this as the infrastructure for fascism.

The lesson from the Brazilian presidential primary is that just jailing the leader doesn’t dismantle the movement. Especially if the leader has children already ready to assume the place of the leader. You have to kill the entire Hydra, not just jail one head. This is the lesson for everyone.

GOP "politicians are banking on the fact that the majority of Americans may not know that they know a trans person, or may not know anything about what it means to be trans." People also then being totally clueless their politicians already did bigoted laws taking away trans people's rights.

What Dems need to do is vote to expand the House. This used to be done regularly. It can be done with a simple majority. It would lock Republicans out of the House & a future trifecta. The increase in the EC would also lock them out of the presidency.

Yep use the 14th Sec 3 to completely null and void Trump's 2nd term including all appointments and pardons. Reform SCOTUS. And then set up a Nuremberg type system where it is a strict liability major felony to have ever voted for, funded, or endorsed Trump after J6. Then prosecute that top down.

The Magyar government understands if they let up then Fidesz and Orban will regroup like the Brasilian Far Right did and can come right back in. So they have to move with intense endless purpose to cut out the cancer of Orban. Because five years is not much time to reverse it all & clock’s ticking.

The reality is that if you care about campus sexual violence, you shouldn’t apply to Cornell—and parents should discourage their kids from applying too. And obviously, don’t donate. Send your donations to a rape crisis center instead.

While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.
