I really hate when, the moment a controversy breaks about someone, people rush to say, “I always knew!” or “I always hated their work.” It’s this weird performance of purity, like they need to prove they were never tainted by liking the wrong person. It’s like… people can have liked terrible people.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

I'm really frightened for my Arab and Muslim friends, especially my Palestinian friends. For months they've been watching their loved ones be murdered with our weapons as we all told them to shut up because of the election. Now we're telling them they deserve their pain. None of that is okay.

One of my favorite things to be accused of is doing stuff “for attention” Bro, I’ve got a naturally 85 decibel speaking voice, and huge naturals. I’ve never had to beg for attention.

It really is extraordinary when you think about it that the wealthiest most privileged humans who have ever existed are in full revenge mode against the planet and its inhabitants because racism isn’t as popular as they’d like

MAGA forces have begun what they believe to be their final offensive against everything on the Left. One way to fight back is for organized labor to become a conscious anti-fascist movement.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

cool how Judith Butler said the gender critical movement is ideologically incapable of offering resistance to the coming fascism and got pilloried for using big words, and now official GC organisations are releasing statements of support for Trump's first acts as returning president

Man video games are such a useful tool for distracting your ADHD long enough to actually process and plan. I’ve been playing a shitton of Terraria this week (a needed break from publishing three articles last week) and it’s been helping me sift through what the next few months will look like.

The mistake being made about Meta is to say they're just doing this to make conservatives happy. They've been doing that a decade+. Removing fact checkers and bringing back political content means there will be more stuff that gets more people mad which creates more engagement. Growth at all costs.

1. On day 1 of prefiling, Republicans have filed 32 anti-trans bills in the state of Texas. The bills target transgender people with bounties, could shut down Pride parades, ban gender marker changes, and force mass-scale chromosome testing. Subscribe to support my journalism.

If we let Donald Trump and Stephen Miller expand the infrastructure of state violence, they will not stop at deporting undocumented immigrants. Once that infrastructure exists, they will turn it against one scapegoat after another. All of us have a stake in resisting. crimethinc.com/borders
