The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

It's remarkable to consider that from 1916 onward, the Red Sox have experienced high-quality ownership only from 2002 to 2019.

Yeah, I have very distinct memories of the era when “liberal” was synonymous with “terrorist-loving traitor f****t” Which makes me not particularly well-inclined towards people who use it as an insult

Illegally deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in US after Trump admin repeatedly claimed they could not return him. We must keep up pressure until ALL those illegally deported without due process are returned, and such things can never happen again: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

The idea that cis male high school athletes are cheating by taking estrogen in order to pretend to be transgender girls and crush high school sports events feels like a thing you can only believe if you have never in your life met a cis male high school athlete. Are you kidding?

I realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

No. I'm sorry, I know we need a big tent or a popular front or whatever you want to call it, but jimmy concepts doesn't get to be a part of it. If he's genuinely recognized the error of his ways, he can atone by shutting the fuck up forever

The mainstream press viewpoint is that no one mainstream is racist, and therefore, as ideas approach the mainstream, they become less racist

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

A reminder that Trump doesn't play 4D chess. His critics impose 4D chess narratives on his reckless impulsivity in order to reassure themselves that there is method to the madness, when there just isn't.

My friends: This is the opposite of woke. When you asked to stop woke, this is what you asked for. You get two choices, and there’s no middle ground. Either we shun racists and all they stand for, or we raise our kids to act like this.

On an individual level, people hear criticisms of Trump and they think "well i'm a Republican and I wouldn't do that" or "I'm a Republican and I don't believe that," and then bc they identify with him, they assume he's the same way and therefore his critics must be lying. bsky.app/profile/norm...

A lot of very frustrating American political behavior is explained by reasoning something like this: A pathologically mentally unbalanced moron surely could not receive a major party presidential nomination, let alone win, twice. Therefore if he seems like one, it must all be a clever act.
