along with cuts to home care for seniors and disabled folks, DOJ's assault on Olmstead is momentous, breathtakingly cruel and morally deranged

" I don’t think “Choosin’ Texas” was astroturfed into existence. If you’ve heard it and you like it, that’s fine...But the song’s rise required a very specific set of circumstances to get as big as it has and it relies on a profoundly broken media environment to stay as popular as it is."

Yep, including Vought. And keep the articles simple, written to engage the public on things meaningful to them. For example, Vought's partisan denial of disaster relief and grant funds to their state. bsky.app/profile/kdby...

it's funny but also a reminder that the fundamental premise here is that a Black man can't be objective when talking about race while a white man can because Black people do identity politics and white people do facts and this my friends is what I have named "white empiricism"

Everyone should read this and then read the 24 consecutive hour timeline meltdowns Stancil, ironic John Brown centrist account and other libs are having about the Talarico interview. Which argument actually motivates you? Which one is going to resonate with regular people? I think it’s pretty clear!
We cannot be the ones to preemptively and
"pragmatically" kick our more vulnerable allies off of the plane. The end result will be having to face the fascists later on anyway but with a significantly diminished coalition. Better to turn around right now to face them with our full complement of fighters.
You say "I am for the dignity and safety and equal rights of trans people everywhere.
Fuck you. The end."
And if they keep with the questions about children's sports the answer is "Who gives a shit?"
"I do not believe you care about this issue.
You are lying. In fact you're a straight up weirdo for fixating on kids' genitals so much. That is odd behavior. Let kids run around with their friends."

The theme of this essay on the African Great Lakes region -- internationally-managed political insecurity to preserve global access to strategic minerals -- at once suggests comparison with the current US war in the Persian Gulf and the arc of US regional interventions since 2001.

If you look at the people *still* trying to attack Jason Arday after his death, and notice that those same people have completely ignored yet another round of fraudulent research from Dan Ariely, it’s obvious the anger is never about research fraud, but about who is permitted to commit it.

"'Despite our finding that the money was misappropriated, we find insufficient evidence to charge anyone criminally,' the report concluded. 'Nobody will take responsibility for deciding the $10 million of taxpayer money would go to Hope Florida… or had any memory of who made it.'"

There are no rules in wine drinking. Drink whatever you like, whenever you like, however you like it. Great if it pairs with the food on the table, but that isn't a requirement either. Letting other people tell you how to enjoy yourself properly is optional.

Gessen races the practical effect of Kansas persecuting and scapegoating trans people. The internal migration of trans Americans in the last few years is terrifying, not least because so people many cannot migrate.
