I run a writer's group, work at a men's homeless shelter, and play servant to a tiny black cat.
If it helps, we're getting more from white cis folks than we have in a while. I used to live near this town. It's white, conservative, & has a lot of boomers. And they came out in force over the current bull, more than once. It's not as fast as we want, but it IS happening.

Yeah. I mentioned that. He uses AI voices in his podcast and has openly admitted that. You aren't saying anything new. Can we stop playing troll now?

A determined and loud minority can move mountains. It's how we got worker rights, civil rights, got rid of child labor, and a lot more. It's also how we got a lot of BAD things, like morality codes in media. Maybe we don't need everyone, we just need to figure out how to make the few be unignorable.

If the Heritage Foundation really wants a better America that works for all of us...
They would disband tomorrow.
But they exist to protect the very wealthy and hinder democracy, and equitable wealth distribution.
They will continue to divide the people with draconian policies and fortify wealth.

This comes at the same time that the conservative movement is targeting young women more broadly—from tradwife bullshit to MAHA misinformation about birth control.
The goal is convincing the next generation that the rapid erosion of their rights isn’t a political crisis, but a lifestyle upgrade.

I have always known that my place in my community, my career, and my art is dependent on a cis man of equal or greater rank not deciding he has the right to assault me. I hate this knowledge. But I am not unique in holding it.

He openly admits to using an AI voice on their podcast because otherwise they can't keep it running. But if you'd check your data, the newsletter predates AI by SEVERAL years. Since the content is available free online, AI was likely TRAINED on his creation, not visa-versa.
