The UK just proposed new school guidance that effectively bans even social transition for trans students (using a different name, pronoun or haircut). It implements a full bathroom ban while requiring mandatory outing of trans youth if a teacher suspects they are trans.

I hate to repost this but people need to remember hiw unhinged this dude is and everyone who thinks like him
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Final song was "DtMF" as I YET AGAIN correctly predicted should I go buy a lottery ticket or something???

A song about appreciating the people in your life while you still have them, it resonates on a personal level and calls back to the themes of diaspora

Like a full 30% of the current US was Mexican territory until the mid-nineteenth century, that culture and heritage and language didn’t up and vanish after the Alamo or whatever, acting like Spanish isn’t a huge part of the American tapestry is super short-sighted and ahistorical

In one of our signal chats, a neighbor calls these “fuckaroundabouts”
Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?

BESSENT: It would come from Treasury

GALLEGO: So, taxpayers?

BESSENT: Yes. Part of the 44,000 whose returns were leaked

GALLEGO: They're not suing

Gelernter endorsed Trump 3 times. He's an evolution and climate change skeptic who thinks women should stay home. He was a member of the "race science" Human Biodiversity Inst.

After an unflattering profile in the WP, The Atlantic published an indignant piece calling him a "pioneering polymath."
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."

This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.
