Dangerous animal keeps sliding out between the bars of its enclosure: problematic cage gap
Angry person yelling at chill person who is responding by being calm, which makes the angry person even more mad? Problematic rage gap.
Prisoners keep escaping because you put the bars too far apart? Problematic cage gap.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

Broken Record: You *cannot sustain* a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

yep. transphobia is the camel’s nose under the tent for the full panoply of right wing gender policing, for men and women alike
not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.
Advocate [Mar 28] -- Lake City FL Walmart fires 7-year employee w/ spotless record who tutors special needs kids in spare time after a male customer attacks her for being trans because she is 6' 4" tall. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social [HT @denisenorris.bsky.social]

This is a now or never moment. The way we respond over the next few days, as individuals and institutions, is crucial. And currently we're missing the mark. If we don't act now we will lose everything.
Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

This is the best analysis of what makes these goblins tick I’ve seen yet.
Last week, I wrote about how explicitly and vigorously sociopathic this version of The Trump Experience is, and the urge to defeat or devour every other person and thing on earth. The tariffs literalize that in a way that's easy to see, but also it's everywhere you look. defector.com/kingdom-of-t...

Do yourself a favour and read this entire thread.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Art of War was a manual for 5th century BC noble failsons to prevent them from losing the entire army to diarrhea. This is why it appeals so much to oligarch failsons of the 21st century AD.
This is like when you read the art of war and find out it’s full of stuff like “your soldiers don’t fight as well if they’re starving. Make sure you feed them.”

Saying that the political use of transphobia is bad while still arguing that gender-affirming care for minors should be subject to public debate is called "virtue Singaling" and if you do it you should be shoved into a dumpster.
