Actually a lawyer. When not litigating, is a dad, amateur oenologist, bad at golf, scotch snob and occasional writer. Long suffering NYR and NYM fan. Most importantly, an ally 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Chris Rufo was also involved in destroying cancer research and US science. In 2024 he recommended: “usIng the power of the presidency to target…grantmaking” (This is a slide I prepared and showed to science orgs in 2024 to try to mobilize scientists to get in the fight. I didn’t do enough.)
[Our plan for] "eliminating left-wing ideologies in the federal government, " using the power of the presidency to fundamentally reshape the bureaucracy with a six-part program targeting budget, content, personnel, grantmaking, and oversight. The idea is to centralize ideological control over the federal agencies in the White House and create a team at the Office of Management and Budget to enforce it. We could easily wipe out a significant portion of the infrastructure for the left-wing ideologies within the federal bureaucracy and within the network of federal grantees and contractors

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

7 men drugged and raped a girl for hours, while 50 other men knew it was happening, and where, and did nothing. Yeah, no, the "vigilantism" is warranted regardless.

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

I think this is correct, and I've been thinking a lot about what replaces all this stuff. If it is going away, you'd think the institutional players would have some idea of what might take its place. But they don't seem to have a vision for that, or any interest in it. It's private equity mindset.

Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.
