Circling back around on how the sales pitch of the GOP for a long time has been "were the normal ones" and when they got the keys they immediately revealed themselves as absolute freak perverts
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

Why are these people such freaks?

Imagine if this said judeo ideology. Maybe people would realize the genocidal nature of this headline.
As I said recently in The Guardian:

"Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them"

So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

Under this framework, Jim Crow was ok, slavery was ok, the forced removal of indigenous people was ok, etc. There are certain things even when passed through liberal democratic means are illiberal and should never be allowed.
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

Again: they thought they’d win a shattering court victory with the Harry Potter lady’s money, then the public would rise up in gratitude, salute them as heroes and stomp all over transgender people on their behalf. That hasn’t happened, because the public mostly aren’t vicious cranks, like they are.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.

Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

They're nazis, y'all. Doing nazi shit. There's only one way out of this, and that's through, unless you're still somehow laboring under the misunderstanding that these people can be reasoned with, that they're willing to compromise - spoiler alert, they aren't
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

there are many horrible brainworms you can catch online but none of them are as all-encompassing in their destruction of you as a human being as transphobia

start down that road and you become incapable of normal human interaction

So, if you knew nothing, why exactly did you cut him off?

The FBI had the report on Epstein made by Farmer in '96, so that would explain the whole "cut him off before his crimes came to light", while making the "knew nothing" a lie as we know that cutoff didn't come until the early 2000s.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

As trans healthcare is decimated no one is standing up for the integrity of the scientific process for these patients.

oh we’re never going to see this story about the horrors people face in CECOT in el salvador come out are we. part of the justification is that it’s two months late to the story? yet she did the town hall with erika kirk 3 months after he was killed? come on now
Bari Weiss this morning on the 60 Minutes segment: "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera."

Of course, most journalists know that oftentimes people who are the subject of negative reporting don't want to speak on camera or on the record.
