Imagine if newspapers instead wrote something like, "According to police, the suspect tried to hit the officers with his car. In 35 out of 37 statements issued by this department over the past 5 years, police gave false initial statements, later contradicted by their own bodycam footage."

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Elon is dumping in millions to make sure that as many people have heard that other name as possible.
You can't fight that by also saying that other name.
Talk about this name instead.

That's who they don't want to win.

I have bad news for you about how attempts to build human progress around gently accommodating eugenicists and bigots usually work out.
NOBODY is expendable. If we organized around that, what a beautiful world we could make.

Yes. And also: defying these requests is a muscle. You have to exercise it. Reject the easy stuff and it gets easier to reject the harder stuff.
If someone won’t resist or reject a terrible request when it’s relatively easy, they will not do so when it’s difficult.

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

In conclusion, masculinity isn't real. It's just a set of made up, contradictory rules to try to justify pre-existing beliefs and worldviews.
The same exact thing can be more masculine or less masculine, depending on how we've decided to measure.🙂🙃
It's all Calvin ball!
So stop hurting yourself!
