We may need to consider that bluesky culture, particularly trans bluesky culture, is in need of a course correction. Wanting him to word every post so perfectly that even an adversary couldn't find another meaning in a statement is not a standard you can reasonably hold anybody to.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

I agree with this + I sorta sneered at the “resistance within the Trump administration” stuff but in retrospect there were principled people within his first administration preventing enormous harm.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

You have to understand, the agent involved is stupid. We begged him to stop standing in front of cars but he can’t figure it out. He’s stupid and he has anxiety from the time before when he was stupid, so we just have to let him pop off. We wish he weren’t, but he is. And we have to respect that

This is a long read, but SO worthwhile (and it gets better and better). Lots of great insight. TLDR: the deliberately adversarial relationship between trans people and healthcare providers is enormously harmful, for everyone.

Really, really good interview on the issues with restricting transition care, creating adversarial relationships between patients and providers and advocating for trans-hostile standards that harm trans people and detransitioners alike.

it boggles my mind that so many leftists, who broadly subscribe to an ideology that correctly points out the bad incentives of capitalism, have decided that the obvious incentive for constraining supply when you own some of the supply simply does not apply to homeowners

Important to note that this is the Same Guy who is so dishonest that he will somehow say acknowledge that 94% of trans women assaulters committed the offences pre-transition, and yet somehow uses the rate from those prisoners as evidence that testosterone suppression does not reduce the risk of SA

it is imperative to remember that MTG and the far-far-right have reached the right conclusion on the genocide in Gaza essentially by accident, because they are antisemitic. You do not need to hand anything to them

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?

A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

SCOTUS doesn’t have to come up with an excuse for allowing Obama or Biden to be prosecuted despite their ruling about Trump. They only have to refuse without explanation to intervene, and stay without explanation any lower federal court’s attempt to intervene.

this is both partially true and does not really account for Bostock the synthesis here IMO is a) there are some conservatives on the Court who could be swayed by legal arguments for strict scrutiny for trans people b) the Court is currently terrified of defying the executive so it doesn’t matter
