Larry Nassar has been removed from the Michigan sex offenders registry. Will we see the “protect women’s sports” crowd get angry?

Jane Doe said that after the assault “It was made clear to me by several friends that the members of Chi Phi were bragging.” Imagine going through the most horrific experience of your life only to learn that the perpetrators are gloating about it. #cornell7

The reason you’re seeing an outpouring of rage and sadness from women is because so many of us have experienced sexual assault, coercion, and/or harassment, and the men who did it to us also got away with it. #Cornell7

As a Cornell alum, I’m horrified but not surprised that the administration failed to hold perpetrators of SA accountable — meanwhile inflicting harsher punishments against students protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

As an ultra runner, transgender women and girls belong in women's sports. The SCOTUS decision will lead to sex testing and policing of any woman athlete who doesn't fit white conventional femininity. The real problems afflicting women's sports are underfunding and lack of media, not trans people.

121

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

don't be fooled by Trump's changes in Minnesota. he doesn't care about the suffering being endured by individuals who've been harmed, abducted, or killed by ICE. what he does care about is optics and that he's being criticized by his own allies. it's never about anyone else's humanity but his own.

041

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

whenever America gets out of this chapter, we need a process of public accountability — Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, and everyone complicit in a Nuremberg-style trial where they are made to own the horrors they've inflicted. we can't just move on after this.

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

this morning I recorded a TikTok video about white people who’ve wondered what side they’d be on in historical atrocities and are doing nothing in this moment — how the way you comport yourself now is your answer. 10 hours later the video is still under review. first time that’s happened.

120

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

growing up in a Jewish household, we talked about the "good people" during the Holocaust who stood by and did nothing, and how that passivity was its own evil that aided and abetted the Nazis. think of that as you take stock of what the Democrats and other "good people" you know are up to right now.

032

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

it is literally the job of journalists and publications to use the right words when they witness and document. what is happening in Minneapolis is an OCCUPATION, ICE doesn't merely detain, it ABDUCTS, and protesters aren't dying in confrontations with federal agents, they are being MURDERED BY ICE.

141

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

watched Heated Rivalry, flew through the season in a night. grateful for such a heartfelt + hot queer show in this time of censorship. fitting that the series is Canadian, since the U.S. government is repressing LGBTQ rights and culture. Hollywood would be wise to see the success and follow suit.

040

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

there is only one correct reaction to ICE murdering a woman in Minneapolis and that it's horrible and indefensible, but of course the Trump administration is going to try. for months, many have warned that something like this was inevitable and here we are.

050

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Trump, who’s not been held accountable for his own corruption and crimes, is now ordering the U.S. to go into another country to capture a leader with zero transparency or Congressional oversight, for their crimes. Watch as the admin installs another dictator, just one friendlier to Trump.

we're seeing the Streisand Effect in action over Bari Weiss's decision to pull the 60 Minutes CECOT story. other than regular viewers, most of us probably never would've known about its existence if not for the censoring. Weiss has not only revealed her lack of ethics but that she's also feckless.

It’s a beautiful thing when people change, but demonstrating sincere change happens through accountability, naming harm and working towards repair, and showing change through actions over time. Until Marjorie Taylor Greene does that, proceed with extreme caution and healthy skepticism.

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Trump loves a photo op with a popular person and often functions as a weather vane with press and public opinion. This coupled with Zohran Mamdani's deft ability to find common ground as I expect he did in the meeting explains the reaction. Trump backstabs, so don't be surprised when he does a 180.

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Next time someone says that drag queens are a danger to children remember that a cis white woman named Megyn Kelly was the one who justified Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein's predatory behavior because the victims appeared to be "barely legal."

The spectacle surrounding the Epstein emails and feeling that many in the media are circling like vultures makes me sad for the survivors, the women and girls who faced sexual assault, violence, and surely irreparable harm. They’re real people.

Zohran Mamdani winning via a year-long grassroots campaign that started with zero name recognition and visiting districts that Trump won is a lesson that political fatalism born of this fascist moment is not fate.

I’m happy for Gen Z New Yorkers who — probably for the first time — got to feel genuinely excited about a political candidate in Zohran Mamdani. Everyone should enter adulthood feeling like the world is full of possibility and that hope is a worthwhile emotion.

Conversion “Therapy” is a harmful practice — disavowed by every major medical organization in the U.S. — that tells LGBTQ+ people we are fundamentally broken and must be “cured.” Queer and trans youth, in particular, will suffer when the court allows this. apnews.com/article/supr...

Thinking from a 30,000 foot view about Trump's disinformation about autism and Tylenol, the administration's plans to declare trans people terrorists, and go after Antifa...first, linking autism to a cause with a cure paints neurodivergent people as having something wrong with them — stigmatizing.

The FBI's plans to target transgender people amount to criminalizing trans people for the act of existing. We've learned via other anti-trans bills that it would also target anyone who is gender nonconforming or deemed trans in the eyes of the state.

As Kimmel is pulled from the air, where are all the comedians who claimed free speech was under attack because they were criticized for offensive remarks about marginalized groups? If concerns about free speech were sincere, they would come as more than a justification to insult trans people.

Alex Berg @itsalexberg.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
