Tradwives are trending. But @drkatiegaddini.bsky.social argues that the women actually shaping the conservative movement aren't tradwives at all. 🔗 Learn about the women shaping the right from Gaddini's @bostonglobe.com op-ed: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/12/o...

Forget the tradwives. These are the women shaping the right. - The Boston Globe
The women really shaping the conservative movement aren’t baking sourdough or milking cows. They’re fighting over abortion, trans rights, education, and public health.

With Musk and Trump in a post-DOGE meltdown, it's tempting to think this marks some end for DOGE's AI takeover of the federal government. But as I wrote this week before the social media wars, Musk (and "AI") are best understood as accountability shields. www.techpolicy.press/musk-ai-and-...
