Ally, ADHD hippie, closet Luddite, policy wonk, proudly liberal, but I think of that as being practical. AKA satby in some places. Chicagoan in exile.

Hegseth has a searing resentment of all the officers who called him on his incompetence, laziness, and just general bad attitude. Just a very bad soldier and a drunk who failed to meet all expectations and is determined to destroy the military hierarchy that called him out for the useless man he is.

racism. also the unstoppable recklessness of idiots thinking they're geniuses. Hegseth is a former major in the reserves who thinks he knows better than generals and admirals and 150-plus years of actual military training and know-how.

Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience. And a lot of ostensibly non racist people quietly agree, and don’t like to see those who peddle that pseudoscience excluded from mainstream institutions.

Danny Thomas had a dream. No child should be denied hope because their family couldn’t afford care. ❤️‍🩹 That dream became St. Jude. A place where children are treated regardless of race, religion or ability to pay. One person’s compassion changed countless lives❤️ #StJude #Hope #SheShed

Well, I was shocked that it was in the NYT at all since it's such a mouthpiece for the right wing.I have several friends who are trans, but they hadn't read it. So apologies if you feel it's not an article that should have been promoted

Our political press buys into Trump as the personification of what George Lakoff calls “strict-father” morality. I’m not saying that’s their morality. I’m saying they respect it, even more than their own, sometimes. www.thefarce.org/why-the-pres...
Imagine for a second if a Democrat were president. If a Democratic administration stranded thousands of troops in a combat zone for nearly a year without hot water, functional plumbing, or basic supplies, cable news would run a 24/7 countdown clock titled DISRESPECTING OUR TROOPS ALERT, with endless panel participants screaming at the nodding token Democrat about 'executive incompetence,' 'cruelty to service members,' and 'a #BENGHAZI every day!'

But because it’s Trump, the press treats actual, material harm to active-duty military as a minor administrative hiccup rather than a major national scandal. Why?

For the same reason, our media has had difficulty treating Trump’s endless declarations of 'victory,' timed usually to juke the stock market, as what they truly are: an endless stream of humiliations.

Our political press buys into Trump as the personification of what George Lakoff calls “strict-father” morality. I’m not saying that’s their morality. I’m saying they respect it, even more than their own, sometimes.

Because a strict-father figure can never admit defeat, the press becomes incapable of acknowledging it, too. Cable news ends up framing every retreat as a feat of tactical genius, terrified of triggering the regime’s legal or regulatory wrath.

Important read for everyone, and then pass on to others. Trans rights are human rights and we all need to step up and support our fellow citizens and protect their rights. As a friend says: "no one is truly free until everyone is".
