If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

The paper that brought you “Hussein intensifies quest for A-bomb parts” now says that ethnically cleansing two million people “could disrupt a tired diplomatic paradigm.” Does the Republican Party pay the New York Times per Middle Eastern war or do they do it pro bono?

i'm currently reading "a peace to end all peace," about how world war I and its aftermath sent the middle east along the trajectory it's still on, and it's wild how many world-historical decisions resulting in thousands of deaths were made, essentially, by mistake

andrew johnson was impeached for violation of the tenure of office act. in the scheme of things, was that a huge deal? not really. the actual issue was that johnson was trying to scuttle any attempt to reconstruct the former confederate states on an egalitarian basis and that was intolerable

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
