There are a lot of things that are gross in journalism but the abject careerism and moral bankruptcy of the NYT reporters who jumped on the the youth gender medicine “story” is one of the more disgusting things I’ve witnessed

I have a friend who is an exvangelical and she put it very succinctly: “We don’t believe anyone else is human. You are not people to us.” Once you understand this CORE BELIEF and put it into context with the fact that these folks are running our country you can understand clearly their motivations.

“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

Yes, I'm aware that the 'fact' one of my characters confidently spouted was pulled out of my ass. Please note at no point do I say this character is 'right', and in fact, shortly afterward another character refers to him as a 'prettiest crayon in the toolbox', so why are you 'well, actually' ing me?

Cuomo and his team are already setting up the excuses he’ll (continue) to use when he sexually harasses City Hall staff. He hasn’t learned a fucking thing, and he doesn’t care. Don’t let him get away with it.

I hope it is very clear what antisemitism looks like, and I'll tell you what, it's not an op-ed condemning genocide. Consider that while Rumeysa Öztürk spent 6 weeks in prison for her constitutionally protected speech, the president's friend wouldn't dream of worrying about such a thing.

I’m not sure how different these students are from the ones I taught a decade ago. You realize pretty quickly that curiosity is an exceedingly rare human trait and our technology over the last few decades has served largely to reinforce people’s fundamental incuriosity.

A lot of people are misconstruing this and to put it bluntly a lot of these people are going to restaurants etc like normal and I'm saying we should refuse service and verbally mock them in public. They should be as afraid of going in public as boy band members at the height of their careers

They want to track autism, miscarriages, abortion, birth control use but don’t want to track measles, bird flu, Covid or salmonella. Ask yourselves why that is. They’re setting the stage to blame people for their disabilities. To slate them for elimination. It’s eugenics & it’s escalating.

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases. After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.
