Today, I talked to a closeted young evangelical whose day job is to make life miserable for LGBTQIA+ folks.

I hope that she discovers the Jesus who hung out with lepers & prostitutes - the Jesus who commanded his followers to accept those of a different gender / sexual orientation (eunuchs).

Not only would this be bad because it would allow people who abused their power and preyed on members of the community back in, but also in most cases, the people who acted inappropriately were also massive hacks.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Congratulations to the Secretary of Defense for ordering a hundred murders right before the president established the precedent that pardons are invalid.

Pete Hegseth is not only committing war crimes but he also destroyed any chance of gleaning intel from people who were *supposedly* targets in order to commit said war crimes.
What's so striking - pardon the pun - is that apparently JSOC/ST6 ran this hit

yet, when you hear Podcast SEALs drone - pardon again! - on and on and on about 'kinetic ops' in 2008-ish in Iraq - "10 hits a night" etc - the point, THE WHOLE POINT was rolling up LIVE prisoners for intel.

Many Americans--esp men of all races--can't face having a woman POTUS for the same reason tens of millions lost their minds over Obama:

If someone from an oppressed grp does a good job as POTUS, that blows up the social hierarchy upon which the dominant group depends for their unearned advantages.

The US actually DOES require women to be subjugated in order to function!

Per @jessicacalarco.com:other countries have safety nets--the US has women bound in webs of unpaid, devalued & often involuntary labor w/out which our society would fall apart.

This is related to the 2016 & 2024 POTUS votes.

This literally reads like an extortion letter, or a note giving ransom to hostage-takers, dressed up in legalese.

Absolutely stunning that the federal government is the intimidating criminal in this crude shakedown racket, and that institutions of higher education are its target.
I’ll look at it in more depth later but Northwestern’s agreement seems more campus-specific than previous deals and imposes restrictions on campus conduct beyond what others ave agreed to. Northwestern seems to have surrendered autonomy to a shocking extent. www.northwestern.edu/president/do...

Don't worry, if you go to Northwestern, you can "choose to identify" as trans, you just can't live or use the bathroom there
"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."

Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

When Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern send material asking for donations, do they include links to a Trump SuperPAC so donors don't have to bother with a middle man?

So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

Long after Trump kicks it, Thiel, Andreessen, Zuckerberg, Elon & the other techbros will still be here - throwing around insane amounts of money to attack our democracy & make themselves kings.
I just want to be 100% clear:

The most important thing that is happening in tech fascism right now is that on Sunday there are elections in Honduras.

We are literally at risk of Honduras falling to tech fascism in front of our eyes.
