Nothing is wrong in this post

I would only also add a significant part of the pseudoscience was directly created to absolve white men of sex crimes

"It's not his fault, he has an addiction!"

Said by the same people who think you can beat heterosexuality and good manners into children

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

mf said “trans-adjacent murderer”

Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer posting on X:

It was recently uncovered that Mesa Elected councilwoman Julie Spilsbury liked a comment calling conservatives who support Trump
"fascist... hellbent on destroying our country & it's imperative that they be defeated."
Remember— a bullet meant to kill my friend Charlie Kirk had inscribed on it "Hey Fascist, Catch!" by the trans-adjacent murderer.
Julie has been called a "trans ally" by supporters on the left, which I believe is what has shaped her very distorted and incorrect view about her conservative neighbors.
This type of thing is what has enabled political violence.
Words and ideology matter locally.

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.

Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

Tolkien's works. But you also have the

And they're basically
