had occasion to observe earlier today that "i think we should prosecute everyone in the government who has committed a crime to the fullest extent of the law" is, in literal fact, very close to just proposing The Terror at this point

This is a really good point about the value of publicly- funded knowledge work. Having to beg wealthy people for research money means only the kind of research values by the so-called elites gets funded.
One advantage of the NIH public funding system is that the scientific community—average scientists—influences funding decisions.
This is a more democratic process than a system that involves begging Jeffrey Epstein for largess.

Newsom vetoed a bill that would've prevented insurance discrimination against trans people and allowed people to stockpile 6 months of HRT.
So yes, not only would he do this, he is actively doing it right now by endangering our access to healthcare in order to protect insurance companies.

I've literally had people on here tell me in replies that a President Newsom would murder trans people.

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level.
the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.

now, personally, I don’t care about making fun of streamers but I simply wouldn’t pretend to give a shit about trans people while minimizing their oppression and doing this in support of vote shaming for a transphobe like Newsom 2 years early

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

sometimes you'll learn that, like, Napoleon did legal reforms which are the basis for many countries legal systems today. with slavery you learn that men would rape people and enslave their own children

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

This is 100 percent true and every single person who laments the loss of the antebellum South in any way should be forced to read firsthand accounts of what planters did to enslaved people with their eyeballs pinned open until reality sets in

Fondly remembering that the biggest fights w admin during bargaining when I was in HGSU were about third party arbitration for sexual harassment allegations

A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout.
Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail.
After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.
