Domination is the only principle guiding the Trump movement, so the paradigmatic case of domination—gender violence—will inevitably arise as Trumpism’s core expression.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

More than 10,000 Ph.D. scientists were fired by the Trump administration last year. Grant cuts affected more.
"A few dozen got jobs in other countries" is not a serious solution.
There are not enough jobs in the whole world. The result will be less science, not the same science just elsewhere.

Semi-regular reminder that, since the maritime tradition is to refer to the full count of all people aboard a ship, including passengers and crew, as "souls", the correct adjective for "uncrewed", "unmanned", or "autonomous" vehicles, should be "Soulless."

I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.

I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
