I meant to write about this story and I didn't and I'm sorry. Trans kids have been abandoned by so many people. It's hard to find words for seeing the kids who were our promise for a world where people like us didn't have to have the hard lives most of us had being abandoned life by innocent life.

From Ezra Klein’s explanation of why he attended Pete Thiel’s Dialog society meetings. And here’s the thing, Klein, Castro, and Thiel ARE engaged in a common project, even if he doesn’t realize it. That project is capitalism. And it cuts through supposed ideological differences.
Ezra Klein: I am surprised how credulous some people have been on this story. You have to believe some weird things about the world to believe Julian Castro and Peter Thiel are somehow engaged in a common project. Secret societies, I imagine, need a lot of trust to function, but the people being named here do not trust each other and do not have aligned agendas.

The true measure of a human rights organization is how it treats its employees. In my experience, there are very few that value the people who do the real work.

“Everything is gender” theory finds more confirmation manhattan.institute/article/the-...
Manhattan
Institute
The Current GOP overwhelmingly—69% to 24%— believes that American society is "too feminine" and that more masculine thinking is needed. Men are the most likely to hold this view (78% to 17%), but women also agree by a substantial margin (58% to 31%). Support is especially high among black Republicans (77% to 19%) and Hispanic Republicans (75% to 21%).
The data also provide evidence for a broader generational and educational backlash among younger conservatives, particularly men. Although college graduates in the general population are less likely to support Trump, college-educated
Republicans are more likely than their non-college counterparts to endorse the view that society has become too feminine. Younger Republican men, who have experienced these dynamics most directly, express the strongest support: 83% of Current GOP men under 50 agree, and nearly half (46%) strongly agree.

“We shouldn't make fun of the fact that they want to ban Antifa, an organization that doesn't even exist. Quite the opposite, of course they know it. It's precisely about creating a vague enemy image and a seemingly legal framework to prosecute anything that stands in the way of new fascism.”

To be clear, this move brings us back to the very pointed targeting of LGBTQ2S+ graphic novels that got us here in the first place. Books that were on the government's radar thanks to far-right advocacy groups like Action4Canada.

My quasi-daily reminder that Christian Zionism is the dominant form of Zionism today and one of the most dangerous ideologies of the past few decades.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Israel's Army Radio that Washington does
not oppose Israel's plan to move forward with "massive" settlement construction in the E1 area east of Jerusalem. Observers warn the project would completely sever the West Bank
and destroy Palestinian territorial contiguity. The United Nations has said it would "drive a stake through the heart of prospects of a two-
state solution." Information first reported by Middle East Eye
