Say it louder for the (many, many) folks in the back who think that the most reasonable way to respond to blatant racism is by accepting the twisted terms of the debate & insisting that their behavior is justified per those ahistorical, illogical, empirically unsound terms (“we uphold meritocracy!”)

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

This. When you contact GOP MoCs, phrase things in terms they care about--accountability for what they approve & constituencies they value. w/Tillis, for example, never stop emphasizing that he is singlehandedly responsible for putting a wildly disqualified person in charge of NC's servicemembers.

There was once a time, not so long ago, when true alpha males would just free-hand their criticality experiments. Before the brass at Los Alamos went woke and mandated that all experiments had to be done by "remote operation" and "with proper oversight." Was it risky? Sure — but REAL men LOVE risks.
