What’s so awful and stupid about this is that it applies to every single right-wing “Intellectual.” The whole culture is a snake pit of race science cranks and misogynist perverts. They have not changed their positions meaningfully since the civil war began.
The first assistant Chris Rufo hired in 2021 was a Pepe the frog loving fan of “groyper mom” Michelle Malkin. That guy worked for him for 3+ years before going to work for Russell Vought in the Trump administration last year. So Rufo can miss me with the “I’m shocked by Fuentes’s popularity.”

Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.

I'm happy to have Talarico or Crockett; both eminently qualified and lightyears better than the current (and decades-old) situation.
What I want to say now is that eyeballs don't equal votes; we saw this with Beto in '18. Even though he brought up a bunch of downballot wins, it's gonna be a fight.

These anti-fat activist screeds always include a blithe acknowledgement that fat activists are correct on the merits.
"To be sure, weight and health aren't perfectly correlated, fatphobia is widespread and losing weight is extremely difficult..."
Right, but that's the entire thing!

The way she winds up for the BUT after “not everyone can control their weight, and no one should be mistreated for it”
This is indistinguishable from right-wing anti-SJW agitprop

I have no interest in policing other people's personal health choices in any way. If you're taking a GLP-1 and happy with it, then I'm happy.
But we're never going to be a country without fat people — or the need to treat each other with grace and humanity regardless of size.

Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power.
"Do you know how mean fat activists are if you lose weight?"
Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!

Conservative and reactionary centrist media is trying to set up a narrative in which GLP-1s are some kind of existential threat to body positivity and fat activism.
It's bullshit. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But not everyone can or wants to — and they deserve equal treatment regardless.

Jesse being made out to be a joke was absolutely an effort done in part to establish Clinton-era politics as the “normal” political philosophy for marginalized folks in this country
jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"

For generations, Border Patrol has maintained a high presence in South Texas and has operated with minimal oversight and accountability, shaping a culture in which terrorizing immigrants & their families has become part of our daily life.

I think kids growing up in the Trump era should be told clearly that they are being raised under a regime that espouses white supremacy as if it is a legitimate politics, the same as any other.

“What if we simply ignored both the racism and the violence against women” is a very popular approach to a lot of things, and I think one has to wonder both why that appeals so strongly and also, once that desire is fulfilled, what’s left.

When people hear "it saved my life", there’s a presumption made that we mean without it we would quite literally die. And for many of us, that's absolutely true... But for those of us who rely upon it regularly.... it means our lives are made so much better now that they actually feel worth living."
Since Cass is again making the rounds for expounding on all the ways we might make fewer trans kids, here’s a piece on how this discourse erases the lives of trans people doing extraordinary specifically because they embraced who they are. Whose rich lives wouldn’t have happened in the closet.
