Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Nobody involved in US or Israeli politics even questions the idea that Israel has a right to maintain direct military rule over 33% of its population indefinitely, and that is why there is simply no way to even begin a constructive dialogue on this.
In 34 paragraphs total, Dan Shapiro devotes exactly one (1) of them to what Israel's responsibilities are in order to keep Democrats from becoming more pro-Palestine. Here's his suggestions:

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.

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.

I really hope the Senate kills the trans care felony bill. And the Medicaid HRT ban for adults likely to pass the House tomorrow. I really do. Not sure what else to say but call your senators. It's worked before.

put me down as thinking this will be used as a very vicious and likely effective harassment tactic but will succeed in denaturalizing almost no one
The Trump admin says it aims to file 100-200 denaturalization cases per month, a huge increase. But these cases are hard to file and win, and require a lot of DOJ resources, and the DOJ is incredibly stretched thin already. So we’ll see; I have serious doubts about their ability to do this.
What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.
