And once again, real harms imposed on real people must be set aside until after real damage is done in order to privilege the unproven right of Trump to impose those harms

If Kamala Harris had won the 2026 election we would not be at war with Iran right now. If Al Gore had won the 2000 election we would never have invaded Iraq. Half of this site will scream at you that this isn't true.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.

“Why even hope” is one of those things said by someone who just wants company in their misery. Yes it sucks that a Democrat in Texas said things which sound like throwing us under the bus, but you don’t get to drag everyone into your pit of despair with you. That’s just emotional crab bucketing.

“The Democrats want us dead too” is the kind of insane, suicidal bullshit you get from people who are completely poisoned by online trans discourse mixed with panic and hopelessness and don’t care about the party’s actual record on trans rights.

@ashlikeadragon.bsky.social
there is an uncomfortable truth that i think a lot of people like to avoid because it makes political discussions over trans people fall apart
and it is that the 'progressive' parties (labour, dems etc) aren't abandoning us for political points
they just want us dead too

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

DHS encourages “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave with some sort of $3,000 payout, its naked racism.

There's certainly something to be said for medical professionals being dismissive of patient concerns, but if that were the main driver, MAHA would be dominated by Black women and trans people. It very clearly is not. FFS can we go one day without coddling white people causing harm?

MAHA has been in power for two years. They have decimated basic science, gutted food safety surveillance and kicked millions of people off food stamps. *That* is their ideology, not their polite platitudes about corporate control of the food supply.

“A lot of them don’t believe that their fight is partisan, and it’s not.” Yes it is. MAHA is overwhelmingly a right-wing movement with right-wing goals. The reason they make “progressive” arguments is to trick mainstream figures into working with them — exactly as AOC seems to be doing.

Also, social shame is an important motivator! There is a real contingent of men who think age of consent laws should be repealed. The reason that 'movement' has never caught on is that they are immediately labeled freaks and perverts if they ever bring it up in public.

I don't think the 'cult deprogramming' argument works for public figures! If you're a regular person, listening empathically to your anti-vaxx aunt is fine. If you're a public official speaking to millions, though, the message has to be "MAHA is killing kids," not "MAHA has some good points."

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory
