worth reiterating again that β€œthe executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War
Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

The fact that these 2 things can be happening at the same time demonstrates the contempt the ruling class has for the people

"Black organizers had noticed gaps in the campaign’s strategy for reaching Black voters. To address them, they led canvasses in working-class Black neighborhoods...By early October, Mamdani had taken a commanding lead over Cuomo among Black voters"

Personally I think a really good reason for you to stop going to Thanksgiving with any MAGA relatives you may have is because you really cannot trust them not to sexually abuse your children

"When doctors can come between us and our transition, our rights are in their hands."

"[F]ree access to trans medicine should be expanded."

SNAP benefits expire in one week.
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.
one thing I like about zohrans messaging is how he just constantly hammers home β€œcorruption” re: cuomo. just as constant as his positive message of NYC affordability.
Corruption goes courtside.

Some of the best labs in the world working on the transmission and treatment of malaria - understanding the spread of drug resistance and how the mosquitoes transmit the parasite - are at HSPH . this is the most pro-malaria administration in American history and it isn’t close
Harvard's School of Public Health will be acutely affected by loss of funding. In the past, it has contributed to the eradication of small pox & development of the polio vaccine. It may slash 50% of research & reduce the number of PhD students admitted. Others will feel it too.

conservatives think men are lazy pathetic weak willed animals with no morals or duties to their society or themselves
everyone who talks in an essentialist way abt β€œhow men are” meaning we all have to accept sexual assault, misogyny, Nazi tattoo politicians etc hates men more than the most extreme blue haired tumblr feminist could possibly imagine
I know a lot of absolutely wonderful straight cis men, and I think writing them all off as unredeemable is quite frankly letting the miserable assholes among them off way to easy
People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

it's been an open secret that some (def not all) anti-trans activists seem driven by trans feelings that they themselves possess but are trying to suppress. but this right here it's completely batshit!
Cis women in anti-trans religious communities are literally fucking medically transitioning, and the NYT buries this fact 1000s of words into the article.

How did Romans perceive time? How did doctors like Galen keep time? Interesting book from P.N. Singer on the devices, measurement, and application of philosophies of time. Not a ton new here but the time and ancient medicine chapter looks very intriguing. books.google.com/books/about/... πŸ•°οΈ
Time for the Ancients
The book presents the author's latest research on ancient perceptions of time; it centres on medical discussions, especially of the doctor-philosopher Galen, while also contextualizing his work within...

importantly, it's not just "projection" or "deflection"

they see the kind of bodily autonomy that's foundational to queer liberation as deeply disruptive to their desired social order (grown men raping kids)

in a very real way, body rights and sexual self-determination *will* end their way of life
The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen
