My parents met on jury duty. I’m pretty sure my mom was engaged to a guy named Doug at the time.
In the jury pool room they watched the Watergate hearings and she thought my dad was an asshole. They were married within the month.
And seven years later they named their only child after a hot dog.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

To be absolutely clear, no one is objecting to Bari Weiss’ takeover of CBS News because of her religion.
We object because she’s a principle-free, intellectually dishonest, fascist toady, hack.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:
"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

Apparently improper jawboning of tech platforms by the federal executive only happens under Dem administrations (what exactly was the “outreach”?).
I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?
Is it...requesting content moderation?

But this is also a confession. Republicans would do all those things to hang onto power. Dems better learn.

Another lesson in real world jawboning. DOJ pressures one company (Apple) into compliance. The next company (Google) also complies with no direct DOJ contact at all.

So, the first part of this is plainly false, both historically and currently. I don’t think it’s a good thing in most cases…but it’s plainly the case that pressuring the people in charge of moderation to either ban (or not ban) people works *All The Time*. It is why people do it!
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
