the most notable thing JD Vance has done in the last five years is tell vicious racist lies about immigrants. If you think he hasn't taken a side on bigotry, you are an idiot. He's for it. He's very strongly for it.

This is the thing that really gets me. I have absolutely zero doubt whatsoever that if we elect another milquetoast centrist business as usual establishment democrat they will not revert a single one of these things.
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”
Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

feels like a pretty obvious layup for Democrats to say, "this is an egregiously disgusting statement, even for him, and it underlines that the President is undergoing significant physical and mental deterioration, and either he is lying about it or is not aware of it."

I’m not making free content for a website owned by a guy who thinks my family existing is a form of genocide against white people, which is why I’m not going back to that place.

hot take school is the only place/time you might get to learn something for learning's sake without expecting or being expected that it lead to some kind of immediate tangible "return". stop trying to make it more of a capitalistic death machine than it already is

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Afghans saved many American lives during the war. Way more troops are alive because of them than have been harmed by asylum-seekers. The potential reward of coming to the US was key to securing cooperation. Kicking everyone out will ensure no one helps again.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

I have no doubt that a lot of bigots are delighted that Joanne is one of them but I see little evidence that most of the sweet nerdy kids who were writing fanfic and wearing Hufflepuff scarves around town ten years ago are anything but revolted by her and embarrassed by their own prior association

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Not sure how I’m just seeing this now — a succinct, smart open letter, so far signed by over 1100 professional educators, which articulates the key rationales of those of us who refuse the unsupported-by-facts pressure to adopt GenAI anywhere in the educational process. Read & consider signing.
