As writer, I would love to not have to keep using the "Everything GOP smacks of rape culture/domestic violence" metaphor, vary it up a bit, but they just keep going to the same well! It is what it is.
US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent:
What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out. The worst thing countries can do is escalate against the United States.

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

part of the problem for schumer and other centrists is that they think ICE is awesome *on the merits.* Like, they aren't compromising on ICE funding; they actually love deportations, believe that lawlessness at the border or whatever nonsense is a real problem. 1

Thinking again about how much A Complete Unknown (2024) made me wish for a full Pete Seeger biopic with Edward Norton as Seeger. Or maybe a Seeger at HUAC movie in the vein of “The Trial of the Chicago Seven” but without Sorkin’s liberalism tainting the thematic political elements. Anyways.

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.
So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

PSU has the chair of the Arabic program on indefinite leave because she made a joke. Portland State University.
A thread about the enraging way PSU is treating their faculty member & how you can help: Last spring, PSU President Ann Cudd threw tenured Professor Yasmeen Hanoosh under the bus when she was doxxed for a sarcastic remark made while being heckled by a pro-genocide group + www.opb.org/article/2025...
Portland State professor alleges discrimination and retaliation in tort claim against the university
A social media video of the professor at a pro-Palestine demonstration led to discipline. Her lawyers say the content of the clip was sarcastic, taken out of context and part of a private conversation...

"It's not transphobic if we allow trans boys to play on boys' teams but ban trans girls from girls' teams" has the same bouquet as "General Motors can't have discriminated against Black women on the basis of race if they hire Black men, or on the basis of sex if they hire white women."

A reminder: The willful blindness to the difference between a transnational criminal enterprise and a few random hoodlums is an essential part of the ICE business model. (Also, in use-of-deadly-force rationalizations.)
There are just 354 Venezuelans in Portland, according to the Census, making up just .0006% of the population. The idea that we have a Venezuelan gang problem in the city is absurd. Furthermore, there are zero cases of Tren de Aragua-related crimes in the city in the public record.

Ever see a Wemby highlight? That could happen to your average-height child! Ban talls from sports now! 😤😤😤
I don’t hate tall people, I just don’t think they should be allowed to play basketball. Think about the playing time they’re taking away from deserving smaller players. And it’s about safety, too. Do you want your son to get run over by some 6’8” testosterone-fueled monster? Not hate, just FAIRNESS.

Ethics are when you use $10k of taxpayer money to edit your Wikipedia to help you in an election, unethical behavior is having a group chat without letting Jordan Schnitzer in

Starting a new thread for West Virginia v. BPJ because BlueSky is starting to time me out of the other one.
West Virginia bans trans athletes as well but this time it's been challenged by a minor.
Michael Williams, Solicitor General for West Virginia, is arguing on behalf of bigotry.
