The politicians on the right who manufactured the moral panic over trans people absolutely see changing public opinion as one of their jobs. Anyone suggesting bullshit garbage like Yglesias is here has no business making a living as a pundit.
This is the last gasp of an argument that is lost. A critical mass of people now see that poll-following is just status quo politics.
I have been on about this for about five years now, and I feel very gratified that pressure has now built to change it.
Let’s go. Fight and win.

From what's been released about Epstein so far, that dude was corresponding with a shit-ton of people - power, prestige, intellect. A TON. The complete absence of any correspondence between him and Trump directly is GLARING.
They were close associates. But they never emailed once? Come on.

Serious question: did all of the men have a group chat poll about ai this week or something?
Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

You know how we always joke about how people before the 90’s look like they’re 20 years older than they’d look now? One reason was because the air people breathed pre-epa (created in 1970) was chew-ably THICK with pollution.

They are in fact concentration camps in the original usage of camps for concentrating a civilian population for control or collective punishment or to facilitate deportation or population transfer.
They are not concentration camps as a euphemism for extermination camps.

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?
TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
