I wanted to know the backstory of the executive order that defined "man" and "woman"—the foundation for the Trump admin's targeting of trans people.
So I took a deep dive into the conservative strategy & distorted feminism behind it. And I talked to the author.

I sometimes wonder if my profile never took off much on social platforms because I don’t post literally all the time. Recently, my most successful post was a remark about how gross I find urinals. Where is the rhyme and reason?!?

hey guys, if you studied and were a part of #YourSlipIsShowing, i suggest you watch this. It's important to understanding how & why so many people on here were targeted thru 4chan. That targeting led to years of brutal violence and harassment and some of their deaths.

Moby-Dick, Soul Mountain, and The Savage Detectives are the three novels I’ll probably re-read every few years for the rest of my life. I think that might tell you a lot about me

For most of my life, I've thought of the world's many injustices as rooted in structural, systemic problems. But the more I find out about how many powerful individuals all networked together through Epstein's house, the more it looks like (I hesitated to use the word) ... a cabal

With all his bravado, this thin-skinned individual doesn't care that the public lost access to an important cultural institution, just that he won't have to endure news stories on artists' cancellations.

So many states make it as hard as possible for people who fervently want to vote. Pretending otherwise is a huge disservice to them and to the many, MANY organizers working in their communities and supporting each other against a hostile state government.
Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

Seth regularly brings it on how the causes of political violence in America arise today. As the majority becomes hostile to extremism, the extremists can’t conceive that they might be wrong or unappealing, & demonize their opponents because they see their victories as inherently illegitimate
Lovely to see the Oregon Republican Party promoting the work of Joey Gibson (who led a group that wore t-shirts saying “Pinochet did nothing wrong” and “RWDS” Right Wing Death Squad) and a guy named Schultz who regularly recorded himself making death threats towards his fellow Oregonians.

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
