kids in my suburban Texas Middle School were worried Osama was going to strike us during lunch or whatever, so of course we had to invade Iraq

I have a theory that right wingers like college sports *because* the athletes don’t get paid

And when I take this ghoulish stance towards USAID into account with similar and all too common ghoulish stances on matters like “are we being too mean to Putin for invading Ukraine,” and “Assad didn’t really use chemical weapons on his own people”….yes, I lack trust in these people’s judgment!

It’s like a duck speaking Croatian with an accent. Like, yeah, the accent is pretty thick and the grammar could use some work but goddamn, it’s still a duck that speaks Croatian, that’s pretty amazing in itself.

Also isn't it INTERESTING that these are Jewish, Latinx, and Black electeds stepping up and then getting called inauthentic for stepping up

And also finally, doing the theater doesn't make a politician bad or even inauthentic.
Theater is absolutely a valid way of communicating values.
It's when folks don't align their official acts with their theater (Fetterman, Sinema) that it becomes a problem

Politics is theater!
I get mad when electeds DON'T want to do the vital theatrical services they signed up to do!
If you get mad at politicians doing theater and stunts you do not understand the mechanics of politics

Problem is that such people have proven that they will inflict and force themselves on others, because how dare wonderful them be unable to get what they want when they want it. Somebody’s got to suffer for that.

Should have said in the first post: Gonzales is an abortion case! And it was just cited to uphold Tennessee’s ban on youth gender-affirming care

Attacks on our bodies—whether it's abortion or gender-affirming care—are deeply interconnected

we're fucking cooked as a society if we gotta convince people that ethnic cleansing is bad by telling white men they're going to lose access to brown women's bodies

inventing a straw trans who’s saying, “i really want HRT, but i can wait—or at least i could have until i was told that i would kill myself without it so now i’ll do that” is soo suspect. if you believe that kid exists, i assume you also believe some of us got rushed into transition we’ll regret.

It is also a mistake to compare previous generations to now. The overwhelming majority of us grew up with no idea transition was possible. And many, many of us didn't make it. Now imagine if we'd known it was possible, saw it work, and had that taken from us.

And that's been what's wrong with so much of how NYT and other anti-trans media have approached this: they're acting like trans people are making demands for MORE rights when we're really mostly just asking for our EXISTING rights to not go away. It's a sleight of hand. They know what they're doing.
