I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Social Security needs to be more robust, but that will not happen because the elites of this country HATE IT. They’ve hated and fought it since it’s inception.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

tbh it's a great prismatic look at the society. This is also why Elizabeth Holmes and SBF are the only big budget scamsters to head to and stay in jail. All 3 committed the only sin you cannot commit in the USA without swift & severe punishment- made a billionaire look bad and feel stupid in public

This article relies entirely on data from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The ADL is biased. Their data cannot be trusted. For example, the ADL's 2023 report does not include the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old Palestinian boy Wadea Al-Fayoume, an attack motivated by anti-Palestinian hatred.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

Orange Caesar threatens a governor for the crime of following the law. How swiftly the mask of democracy slips. And yet, the polite society wrings its hands, pleading for civility as the republic burns. Shall we offer our wrists for the shackles, or our voices for the fight?
