The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

This is the kind of thing a well-led and actually-interested Democratic Party could hammer them with. A year one political consultant whose total resume is a city comptroller race could shave 10 points off the GOP's approval ratings with it. The Dems will tweet about it and then roll over. Again.

if this editorial was the first word from the NYT on “the trans question” then it would be welcome and timely, a badly needed national defense of an incredibly vulnerable group targeted for excision but it sure is not the first, and the editorial needed to openly reckon with the damage they’ve done

I want to make it clear that Biden’s expansion of the detention facilities in the U.S., as well as Obamas bullshit with Guantanamo, made this possible. When you see so many people yelling that liberal policy leads to fascism, this is what we mean.

a pox on the houses of everyone, in the UK, the US or elsewhere who, despite not seeing themselves as reactionaries, decided that trans kids were somehow the most important issue in the world at a time when so much else was going on, and who got their wishes now, but at what cost
