Es kommen ja nicht viele Männer zu meinen Vorträgen. Aber es sind ausschließlich Männer, die mir danach gute Tipps geben, wie ich es besser machen könnte.
Das ist schon auch ein bisschen lustig.

I've written a lot about disordered discourse and counterpublics, but given recent events I want to cover a key part of disordered discourse, which I call the four pillars of disordered doubt.

Columbia University, big law firms and major Fortune 500 companies have consistently rolled over to Trump. Meanwhile, E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels and the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein consistently stand up to him despite the risk of losing everything.

Das ist alles dermaßen jenseitig, es macht einen nur mehr fassungslos. Und die Republikaner im Kongress applaudieren oder schauen dabei zu. Eine Sekte, die ihrem Guru folgt, offenbar völlig egal wohin.
Wir können der wichtigsten Demokratie der Welt live beim Marsch in die Autokratie zusehen.

Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.

The people telling the world they want to "have Greenland" and make Canada the "51st state" are suddenly really into respecting national sovereignty when it comes to the nation they want to serve as their fascist blacksite penal colony
Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t.

The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day.

He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees.

Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm.

His little son has stopped talking in his absence.
