New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign. They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

The replies here are a good reminder how easy it is to find explanations for trends that are actually explained by randomness. The best approach is to start by assuming unusual outcomes are the product of random chance and then see if there's evidence to disprove that instead of the opposite.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

"The story of Christian nationalism in the U.S. is a story of white Christian conservatives terrified of being replaced by a more secular, non-white population, & scrapping with all of their might to make sure that that doesn’t happen." @profsamperry.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

It's popular to say in the Opposition that we have to be strategic and pick our fights. I have pretty much the opposite view. Fight for what you care about, some of those fights won't get much support and will fade out, but you don't know ahead of time. And some issues will unexpectedly take off.
