If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

Well, if there's one thing Minnesota is good at, it's being so cold and off-putting to people from other parts of the country who try to move here that they just leave. So I guess that's one unexpected upside in the event of military occupation

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.
every day there are new horrors for gender-marginalized people and women--trump going after the equal credit opportunity act, loss of body autonomy, exterminationist anti-trans attacks ramping up--and every single day we have to talk about "male loneliness" and "it's a brutal time to be a young man"
