This is why the Epstein files story does matter, beyond just Trump's involvement. This is why so many Silicon Valley billionaires went fascist. #MeToo instilled this fear that rich men may have to lose their boys club where women are objects for trade, instead of people.

Because, again, they *want* to do crackdowns, flag-fucking, migration terror, ugly culture war squealing, belligerent war speeches and scything cuts to benefits, and these are the voters you have to impress and win over to do that in perpetuity. Also, they think libs and progressives are arseholes.

Does Phillipson really think this will make us forget about her attempts to remove trans-inclusive language from the classroom? Or her early adoption of this very guidance?

This move is political.
She is still an enemy of trans people, still not to be trusted

No second chances

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

The 'genuinely disabled'

The 'literally vulnerable'

They keep moving the goalposts.

They were never going to fund SNAP. It's eugenics:
Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

For well over a decade now, the Republican Party has been less about using state capacity to enforce bigotry than using the power of the state to *crowdsource* bigotry, to make life harder and less livable for disfavoured groups. Make bigotry less shameful, make bigots openly proud of their bigotry.

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Here are things that do in fact constitute death threats, by the way.

"We should take away people's snap benefits to encourage them to work."

"It should be illegal to allow teenagers to access puberty blockers or transition care."

"Homeless shelters should turn away people until they're sober."

Hey @jay.bsky.team, I got a quick question.

Patton Oswalt got temporary suspended for making an exaggerate death threat but the Department Of War account has promised to "kill people" and put up videos of them killing innocent people on the open ocean... yet have not been suspended.

Why is that?
