It's not just that Israel is imposing a policy of starvation on Gazans; it's also that the U.S. is underwriting this horror and is utterly complicit in it, in both the Biden and Trump administrations. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/o...

"Yet we're cutting public spending by 7.5% for the 2026-27 fiscal year, 10% more the following year, and 15% in 2028-29 - more than the cuts under Harper - because we refuse to tax the rich. So good luck everyone!"

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.

Since January 20th, 2025, this is what has been done to the Stonewall National Monument website.

We started with LGBTQ+ people.

Then, they removed 'TQ+'.

Now, they've remove 'B'.

I'm no longer trying to tell people they're coming for everyone. I don't have to.

They already have.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

It is not just unconstitutional, it’s anti-constitutional. I don’t understand why we continue to even label and discuss it as a ‘theory’ that might be applicable to American constitutional law or tradition. It may not have broken the constitutional system, but it ensured the break is permanent.
The "unitary executive theory" is a fancy name for a strategy used by authoritarians worldwide, rebranded for the US. It’s a legal blueprint for a power grab, and my new article explains how it turns the law itself into a tool for undermining democracy:
How to Dismantle a Democracy, Legally
The unitary executive theory is a masterclass in autocratic legalism.
