When professors at ASU Honors College signed a letter distancing themselves from a Kirk speech the school sponsored, Kirk placed them on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist and ushered in a wave of threats against them. Dennis Prager called for their firing. This is what Kirk means by being “treated well.”

The Democrats are not capable of any real resistance to the creep of fascism in America. Every single Democrat should have got up and walked out when Rep Al Green, an elderly black man, was removed for speaking out against Trump. But no, they sat there, doing nothing.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Newly elected U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh (AZ-D8) supportive of Tina Peters being pardoned — the CO clerk who turned off cameras monitoring voting machines so she and some QAnon guy could take it’s sensitive info & then hand it off to some other QAnon guy (Ron Watkins) to present at a Mike Lindell event.
Rep. Abraham Hamadeh posting on X:

Tina Peters is a a gold star mother, patriot, and fighter for truth. She should not be spending a single day in prison - the crooks who put her behind bars should. Keep the faith and hold the line, Tina. Tens of millions of Americans are with you!

Also the Grease thing was that I saw it when I was old enough to understand poodle skirts = 50’s, but not old enough to realize that live-action movies could be set in past time periods, so it wasn’t until I was like 8 that I realize that Grease was not actually made in 1959.

This song was the music equivalent of Grease for me because my child brain thought that since the song was about 1969 it must have been made in 1969, so then whenever I heard a song with that same 80’s rock sound on the radio, I assumed it was from the 60’s

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now
A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. 

Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Over the weekend, 12 West Brewing Co. hosted neo-Nazi Leonarda Jonie in The Cellar. Other venues have cancelled her tour stop at their locations but the show went on in downtown Mesa and, of course, it brought out a local white supremacist group handing out neo-Nazi propaganda. Never drink here.
