Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.

The obvious point here is that when Dems hold positions of power they don't actually force people to say things like "pregnant people." Some people were asked to used their pro-nouns once on a zoom call and mistook it for oppression.

Rufo straight up admits that the entire framing of being against "cancel culture" was BS and they just wanted to be the ones doing the "canceling." Every radical centrist who was just asking questions in the Atlantic played their useful idiot role in bringing this to fruition.

more convinced than ever that project here is to kill trans people. not just force people back into the closet or deny them medical care, but to literally kill them.

The good news is that reactionary centrists are engaging in some self-reflection on the excesses of the right-wing backlash to 'wokeness.' The bad news is that they are saying it is woke people's fault. archive.is/CaC56

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

a good question for folks who aren’t convinced that the gop’s anti-DEI policies are fundamentally a return to segregation is “what would a segregationist do differently when it comes to policy?”

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding. It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.

This is the dumbest timeline: do tariffs to stop illegal immigration that trump says he already stopped + the tariffs will account for all gov revenue while also boosting domestic production that will cause revenue from tariffs to dry up. Maybe it’s all just BS and he’s just a stupid fraudster

Really is infuriating how we kept being told by Dems that there was nothing Biden could do about abortion or trans folks for years and now Trump is basically making himself king of the US via executive fiat.

Fox News reacts to stories like an immune system attacking a threat—whatever they hit hardest is what they fear most. A bishop preaching kindness and pleading with Trump? Immediate outrage. Elon Musk's salute? Full defense mode. Says it all.
