Trans healthcare in prison isn't about 'sex changes for criminals' it's about what the government is allowed to do to YOUR BODY as a punishment. Are they allowed to inflict sexual violence on you? Are they allowed to alter your body against your will and deny you healthcare?

people who don't work at elite universities may not be able to grasp the power dynamic between (wealthy, conservative) students and staff. i would be terrified if the conservative student publication where i work contacted me. i'd expect to be doxxed within a week.

This refusal to engage with the substance of what people are saying and whether it's actually true in favor of meta-arguments about free speech, bias, "outsider" status, etc has totally corroded mainstream political analysis into uselessness (at best). If anything it's making people less informed

the bit about Africans being active in the slave trade is telling. it’s something that is only relevant if you think the point of discussing slavery is to disburse racial blame rather than understanding history.

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

CBS News quietly updated their story. I still don’t understand how WaPo could’ve reported it first if I was the one who “uncovered” it, but I guess it’s an improvement.

nowhere else is the right-wing media pipeline more clear to me than on my work computer which MSN in new tabs for edge (i'm not happy about it either) is filled with roughly 60-70% conservative headlines or rags. zero tweaking, no user history in the algorithm, and it's HEAVILY conservative

I've been pretty vocal about the "this isn't deportation, it's kidnapping and trafficking" deal, but honestly this is a good point. what is currently happening is not the same as what "deportation" used to mean, but also deportation was always evil and inhumane anyway.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Remember if the process to choose a new Pope goes easily then it’s called a Conclave, but if everyone gets frustrated it’s a Convex.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

quite the opposite, those are the people you should listen to the most, because you need their votes to win. they should be offered policies they want to get them to the polls next time
