This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

We actually should not have empathy for people who subjugate children to their own torturous personal beliefs. These children suffered just as much pain and permanent disability as if they had been severely physically abused. This is not an innocent mistake. A functioning society cannot allow this.

The new “pentagon press corps” is doing some serious public-service journalism 🤡

For decades now Republicans have insisted it only counts as racism if you specifically say the N word and then don’t apologize, and the political press has decided that’s the definition of racism.
