Before the Kavanaugh stop there was "stop and frisk". Before Renee Good, there was George Floyd.

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Then you realize it's not actually communism. Personal pricing is a vacuum designed to hoover up the surplus capital that would allow anyone but the ultra-wealthy to generate and maintain wealth. Personalized pricing means your bank account will always be $0.

spending the day with artist Gustave Courtois (1852-1923), whose paintings are a record of the hot men he fell in love with - including his great muse, bodybuilder Maurice Deriaz.
When they were exhibited Courtois was met with a wave of revulsion from critics at his open, undisguised desire.

This is DARVO. The USA declaring open season on European overseas departments and dependencies would be the trigger not Europe responding to that.
Look, you can disagree with me about whether the Europeans are going to destroy the global economy and trigger WWIII fighting the United States in Greenland. I do not think so, but that's a disagreement we can have. It's one we can have without lying about my disposition towards Donald Trump.

in retrospect, it was amazing how much power people like Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell had at their fingertips in the pre-social media era. They could write an airport book claiming potato chips killed more people than all historical wars combined and it would become universal received wisdom

ICE is engaged in a domestic war against Minneapolis. They have thousands of agents there outnumberring local police 5:1. They're pulling and person of color they see and abducting them. This is an ethnic cleansing campaign right out in the open and local political leaders and the media are silent.

The Schwarze Null in action.
Public transit is bad in small towns and the negative effects of this public underinvestment ripple out to cause harm in many directions. Naturally this leads people to conclude they must vote for neoliberal xenophobes that hates all forms of public transit. How is this intellectual insight?

In seriousness, the War on Terror is built on the foundation of the War on Drugs, and what we’re seeing with Trump is the extension of the logic governing both.

This is very, very good, and I'm not just saying that because @billiejsweeney.bsky.social writes and helps out with editing for Assigned.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.
