The nyt’s anti-trans coverage has always been Sulzberger’s political project. He and his lieutenants saw trans ppl as easy prey, a way to show the right wing the nyt was not a “liberal rag” and pay no price for their bigotry

But there is a price: the lives of trans ppl, especially young ppl.

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science
One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Heritage American just means your ancestors owned slaves and committed genocide.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.

It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Always a market for somebody to tell comfortable and complacent people that their complacency is a virtue and maintaining their comfort as a first priority is a sound and moral position.

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person

you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this
My theory that as members of congress are increasingly batshit it will increasingly select for even more batshit people who can tolerate the job is doing pretty well
Congressional retirements at a historic pace in both chambers. Per @ballotpedia.org , 50 Members have now announced. ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S.... I gather it’s a miserable era to be in Congress for many incumbents.

So systemic discrimination DOES exist! But white guys are the victims of it!

The most intellectually, politically, and culturally lazy cohort in modern history - white guys of mediocre intellect, creativity, & personality who can only ape the theories, language, laws, & struggle of Black people.
Guys, victimhood culture is alpha now

BREAKING: The Florida Supreme Court upheld Florida’s law, making it the only state to allow juries split 8-4 to sentence people to death.

Permitting non-unanimous, divided juries to sentence people to death is unconstitutional and increases the risk of executing an innocent person.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

A story I found about Haiti:

In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
