"A.i." is a tool of racists and fascists and liars. Do not use it and do not spread it. Abolish "A.i." from every space and org you have authority over - at the very least from your own computers and social media feeds.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

Any win, no matter how small, will be seen as confirmation that a trans woman had an unfair advantage despite the science which shows the lie this rhetoric is. Basically they can ban trans women for existing and if they don't lose.

Jeff Kent is, without a doubt, the first person sent to Cooperstown who said his truck jumped him during an innocent car-washing domestic situation. And probably the last, but never say never.

Spend five minutes talking to someone who has survived what these policies were designed to stop and you’ll never be the same again. PREA is imperfect and often weaponized, but it’s often the only protection trans/intersex prisoners have. Everyone involved in this should never know a moment’s peace.

abolishing ice is the compromise
it finally happened -- a good student of mine vanished from class about six weeks ago. this student reappeared today and explained that they had been in ICE detention in another state during that time. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.
Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

they know they're supposed to be blaming the Democrats for the shutdown making people's lives worse, but they're so passionate about the concept of making people's lives worse that they can't stop themselves from talking about how they think people's lives should be worse
Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

It's not about Berniebros--its about the false notion that social justice and economic populism are in tension with one another. I want a better choice than picking between liberal feminism and leftist chauvinism
Whatever you think about the Platner tattoo situation- glad we can go back to the toxic Bernie bro narrative as we attempt to build a movement against fascism in this country. Eyes on the prize.
In general there are many Democratic and leftist men who feel they could have 60 Platners elected across the country if they didn't let themselves be emasculated by the woke scolds and feminists they associate with the failures of the Democratic establishment making them hesitant to let Platner go

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
