The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Twitter used to be the place where reporter talked to experts in the sciences, humanities, social sciences, law, medicine, etc., but the experts all left but reporters did not.

Now reporters only talk to guys who do computers (but haven't coded in at least a decade). It shows.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Erez Reuveni spent 15 years as an immigration lawyer for the DOJ.

The Trump administration fired him when he refused to defend their lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
