JD Vance told El-Sayed to stop invoking Usha after AES said: "Do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no." But it turns out AES offered this *in response* to something vile that JD previously said about how Papaw would have viewed AES: newrepublic.com/article/2149...

I guess it's kind of hard to view the dismissal of one grublike phrenologist as a major hit to free speech after major American universities have in the past year banned the use of words and eliminated entire departments in the hopes of pleasing the senile president

If there’s one permanent right-wing belief it’s that hierarchies are good and equitable treatment should only exist as a legal fiction. If there’s a second permanent belief it’s that parents own their children.

Brett Kavanaugh officiated Sarah Isgur's wedding and is helping her promote her book, which is all about how good and noble the Supreme Court is. There is no reason to take seriously anything this person says about her very powerful, life-tenured friends. Seriously, have some respect for yourself.

Will the media treat Trump starting a war for no reason, wasting a bunch of lives, money and military equipment ending in strategic defeat like they did Biden ending a 20 year war that was going nowhere? (Lmao no, they absolutely will not)

I've been saying this shit for years now and I still get pushback, even from other trans people. Putting gender markers on ID forms deputizes those validating a person's identity as the judge of whether that person is correctly performing their gender. What other purpose could it serve?

So in summary: it appears that this was a shooting where the victim, an influencer, was answering a question from another influencer when he was shot by a third influencer, after which a fourth influencer documented the ensuing chaos and a host of other influencers registered their takes, before the director of the FBI (an influencer) and the deputy director of the FBI (another influencer) announced the alleged shooter’s apprehension with a quote from Mad Max.

People can be very rude here but the fringe left does not pose anywhere near the threat of the fringe right. Children's hospitals have closed and politicians have been physically attacked due to Twitter agitation. This is an extremely basic fact about a topic that is allegedly your area of expertise

All moocher states. The West Virginia governor said he expects the federal government to pay for the deployment. Which means some Democratic states (who did not vote for Trump) will be paying for a photo-op that is meant to hurt the image of a Democratic place. rockinst.org/issue-areas/...

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
