Further weirdness — if Iran had succeeded, our “special envoy” in the Middle East presumably loses classified access and becomes Just Another Rich Dude. What does our succession expert think? @vermontgmg.bsky.social

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.

Opinion | The anti-abortion movement’s growing support for throwing women in jail
The only way to actually stop abortions in states where they’re banned, some activists argue, is to prosecute women for homicide.

The Voting Rights Act Is Dead. Here’s a New Model for Black Politics.
After Callais, the old civil rights politics is moot. And more recent strategies have limited reach. Here’s how we can build something more transformative.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Funny to see so many dudes attack this. I think it’s the most relatable thing Vance has ever said. My husband wants to buy an outrageously fast motorcycle but we have an agreement, so he doesn’t, because I don’t want my husband (and father to our child) on a death machine.

To @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s point last week, none of these rants survive sunrise. They’re almost completely absent from MSM, which protects normal people (aka those not addicted to scrolling) from experiencing the mad rants in full. Purposeful or not, it’s sane washing.

I want to talk about a dystopian world we are entering - where every moment, event, and crisis just become commodities. Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness. 1/ A 🧵on why our politics can't ignore this.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event. And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
