Turn up the heat one degree more, when that dies down turn it up another degree. Today they say the judge broke the law. How can you think they won't push on judges harder and harder. This is the same week as the act blue investigation. DOJ is supposed to investigate crimes, not entities

Got a bunch of gloves and soaps today, both big expenses for us. We choose mutual aid as the government abandons us or worse. If you want to kick in help mainly queer and trans people feed mainly migrants: www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Still no editorial from the columbia spectator. Trump gets to dictate educational policy and people are afraid or indifferent.

Very pissed off to read that the dems lost because of their fanatical commitment to a radical transgender ideology. That ideology was simply acknowledging that trans people exist. What national politician went to bat for trans people on tv and when. I would love to see it

Can not emphasize enough how bad a strategy it is to just keep your head down. Universities as bastions of free expression are going to be a memory

Any Metafilter people remember a long ago ask metafilter where the person going through their deceased father's stuff found a piece of paper (or computer file?) that had cryptic writing on it and it turned out to be joke punchlines and people recovered all the jokes?

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...

This is their plan: Step 1: exploit legitimate pain suffered by young people and families caused by online harm Step 2: implement government-mandated online ID checks to "keep kids away from harmful content" Step 3: define all LGBTQ content as "harmful to kids" Age verification is a trojan horse

How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine, is the subtitle of my new book. Unfortunately, the book could not be more accurate/ timely. Pickup a copy and read about the past mistakes, Trump is tripling down on, and a way to recapture moral leadership. Order hear: a.co/d/fUQDLyQ

we are well beyond anti-trans bigotry and fully into the crime against humanity of persecution. anyone who fails to stand up, say this, and resist it is complicit.

The US press is indeed pathetic--but part of what makes them so pathetic is that they have been so self-important for so many years, bur when push comes to shove and the rubber hits the road, it turns out they are a bunch of opportunistic cowards, from the top down.
