it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

"Trump himself was the victim of two assassination attempts. But his opponents did not minimize, justify, or celebrate these attacks. Trump has signaled again and again that violence in his name or for causes he supports is welcome."

This is one of many ways the trans rights and disability rights are linked: “Having to take medicine for the rest of your life” is not something to avoid at all costs, it’s something that comes for us all eventually as we get older. Disabled rights are your rights, trans rights are your rights

if you are cis or able-bodied, you should support trans and disability rights on principle. but also. “able” and “cis” are not stamps on your soul that will never change. anybody can become disabled. anybody can wake up one morning age 40 and realize they’re trans

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

The NYT decided to kick trans people in the teeth the day after Skrmetti. They wrote a hit piece blaming trans people for their own oppression and attacked the people who have fought hardest to stop this effort to eradicate us. They turned to Brianna Wu to further their narrative.

Collins: "What did [Mike Lee] have to say?" Sen. Tina Smith: "Honestly, I don't think this is a person who is used to being confronted. I don't think he's someone who is used to being challenged and I think he didn't quite know what to do."

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Trump world figures like Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller have spent years telling followers that the world around them was a horrifying hellhole. Now the pressure is to conform the kind-of-okay country to the insane narrative.

MAGA is essentially defined by its ideological incoherence. These people share very few common beliefs. But you can broadly categorize every action Trump 2.0 has taken as anti-civilizational. Not a single pro-human policy in the whole program.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.
