And if he’s repeating himself over and over instead of saying new things, he’s insisting on being obeyed.
Men claim women talk too much, but boy if you get that man on a panel, he will over talk every woman present in the room.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

Calling it a "Battle" is a shibboleth for being a piece of shit.
The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

This is the point of the new EO: it is to make people think twice before they provide their honest evaluation of the Trump regime. You called them fascist? Well, you must be antifa. You call them authoritarian? You are inciting terrorism.
If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The anti-trans side constantly used this exact and talking point about a 4000% increase in trans youth. Similarly, there was a change in diagnostic criteria along with increased access to care.
It's the same exact playbook.

Losing track of the various standards we apply to political media people at lower versus higher levels, so just to refresh: if you're young or have expressed partisan left views, ever, you have no place in the news business. If you're old and Conservative, have at 'er. Have I got that right?

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.
