Gay, from Chicago and now in Milwaukee | adorer of all felines | he/him, but the singular they is cool too | Derek Thompson went on Dick Hanania’s nazi podcast and blocked me for asking why

This is unthinkable, but here I am thinking it:

If Trump gave an order to invade Canada, he would be triggering NATO Article V against the United States itself. So the only constitutional response by those officers to such an order is to treat it as an immediate, irrevocable resignation from him.

Huge positive findings that will surely find the pages of the NYT since these are the answers they’ve “only been asking questions” to.
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

if the united states is to have a future as something resembling a free country we are going to have to figure out a way to articulate immigration as not just a moral good but a moral right
The administration just announced the end of TPS status designation for Burma, which will affect anyone from Burma in the U.S. with TPS status right now.

This is also why the general press reaction to a violent misogynist lying in divorce court about having a brain parasite to humiliate his wife and deny her alimony was “Haha, funny brain worm”
I get that part of the media cycle is for deep thinkers to come up with global Takes on what the Nuzzi outrage means for our culture, but...like, the main thing to me seems to be that she helped whitewash a genocidal eugenicist? who is killing people? right now?

"Homophobia-teasing Democrats would do well to consider that when it comes to setting up a bigger political tent, humiliation is not as effective as persuasion."
Why Are Democrats Teasing Homophobia in New Attacks on MAGA?
The strategy demeans an important constituency of the party without providing an obvious political gain.

I think Mamdani getting trump to agree to fund New York while making no concessions in return was good.

I think Harris getting Cheney to denounce trump without offering concessions in return was good.

like, I feel like when you win you should take the win.

My earnest answer: gender is fundamental to how most people categorize the world around them.

So the more transphobes insist their world is a clear, strict binary, the more they have to face the reality that it’s not. And it terrifies them that that it’s not as clear as they want it to be.
Why is transphobia the default state for so many arseholes?

If not for a split second decision by a bystander, I bet we’d be hearing a lot of conspiracy theorists today insisting that Giuseppe Zangara couldn’t possibly have been acting alone.

The White House doesn’t offer a plausible legal rationale because the orders are illegal.

Various lawyers wouldn’t sign off on it because the orders are illegal.

Trump flipped out at veterans saying don’t follow illegal orders because he’s giving illegal orders.

Real Occam’s razor situation here.
On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser
3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.

Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day
🕯 Eternal memory to all victims of Holodomor. A moment of silence.

"We are neither the left nor the right, we are on the bottom and coming for the top" was graffiti in Chile amongst the mass protests that started their constitutional revision process and now they're poised to elect a right wing president b/c they've only been reacting and no one has a magic bullet.
also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.

it is once again, quite illuminating that Republicans promptly lose their shit the millisecond they are exposed to even one iota as much violent bile as Democrats are.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Donald Trump who has become a critic, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January.

Yeah, I've been feeling a similar deep sadness I think, just about like..... how aggressively, how loud our society is shouting at us all that love and kindness don't actually matter
It's not a sophisticated reaction, but my response to both "quiet, piggy" and the Coast Guard okaying swastikas and nooses is a deep sadness that the compassion we're working so hard to foster in our children will not just be challenged by schoolyard bullies but by the highest levels of society.

After Trump (again) pushes Ukraine to surrender to Russia, and it predictably fails (again), then he tries saving face (again), will media subject us to another round of "changed tone" and "getting tough on Putin" headlines? Was Trump rolling out a literal red carpet for Putin not enough?
New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
-Ukraine army cut 1/2
-Give up certain weapons
-Give up Donbas
-Zelensky displeased

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
