Another example. This innocent documentary about "The Book That Changed Me". A heartwarming tale of a man who learnt to read, just so he could experience Harry Potter. They're really not subtle about this.
Guardian article "A moment that changed me: I learned to read and write - at 42"My goal was to read the first Harry Potter book, since I had heard they were wonderful and I could identify with Harry as an outside because of my deafness.

Exactly: it's ironic that Trump screwed Maduro when he's following exactly the same steps (the old soviet's playbook). Control the Supreme Court, muzzle the press, change the constitutional limit of two terms to three, then to infinity, deploy heavily armed mobs to intimidate, purge the military!

It is all coming together right before the midterm elections. Hegseth plans to cut 20% of senior military leaders and Trump wants to federalize elections. A coup is taking place RIGHT NOW. All that is missing is a Reichstag Fire, a USS Maine, a "yellow cake" . It is coming.

Once again, we should not have a death penalty. But so long as we do, firing squad is the actually humane way to do it. But we don't do that because it allows society to understand that the death penalty is fucking barbaric and that killing people is not an appropriate use of government power.

This Washington Post story about journalists “questioning whether the White House considered their safety” for some reason does not mention that Trump helped Saudi Arabia’s crown prince cover up the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi
WP: They were on the plane when Trump secretly left. Here’s what they noticed.
The journalists traveling with the president had no idea he had switched planes due to a perceived threat from Iran. Now some say the operation has left them feeling deceived and questioning whether the White House considered their safety.

Yes! And whenever I see a media/political figure panicking about this it turns out to be (a) women and children are property or (b) Great Replacement conspiracy. Plus of course there's the "teen fertility" creeps who think women and children are interchangeable 💀 Thanks for calling it all out.

Then you get into the women who want kids but look at the state of the world and go, "I'm not bringing a kid into this mess" or "I can't afford to have kids," and the birthrate goes down even further. And the assholes still go "Those damn feminists are the problem." It gives away the game.

Ftr, no one is saying women no longer want kids. But before, women were dependent upon men for survival and had no access to birth control and abortion. Now that we have financial independence and repro rights, some of us went, "Actually, motherhood ain't for me." And white supremacy can't hack it.

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

Dershowitz complains that the names of many Epstein victims are redacted, making it difficult for him and Trump to sue them. Calling the victims "criminals," he then says that if he testifies before Congress, he'll "name names and tell you who's saying these things."
