This week on the blog, we need to talk about how the concept of “civil debate” often isn’t about substance, but performance, and how the enforcement of that performance is weaponized to protect people in power

Happy to have been wrong on my prediction with this one, but I don’t doubt they’re not itching for another case here, we aren’t out of the woods yet

"Forcing women to become mothers by denying their humanity, stripping them of access to abortion and birth control, and requiring them to sacrifice education and careers to do so reduces women to their reproductive capacity."
Pronatalism: Just White Christian Nationalism in Disguise
Scratch just beneath the surface of the so-called pronatalism movement—a movement all over the pages of Project 2025 that’s based on the belief that people need to have more babies because declining birth rates are a threat to civilization—and you’ll find that it’s basically just white Christian nationalism in disguise.

Working on a new blog and using the anniversary of the “What is a Woman” clusterfuck as a bit of framing (not as the focus, but man is it helpful for the point I am trying to make) and damn I forgot how quickly Dawkins and co jumped to using the word “hysterical”

1. The anti-trans panic is losing steam, at least when it comes to elections.

New polls in battleground races in Virginia and New Jersey show voters prefer Democrats to Republicans on trans issues by double digits.

This as centrist groups urge capitulation.

In the lead up to homecoming weekend, Indiana University unabashedly censored its student newspaper, providing further grounding for why it was rated the worst public university in the country for free speech. This matters more than you realize.

This was a great conversation and was so glad to be on the show!
Seems prudent to talk about Christian Nationalism today. Thankfully we have a national expert: @katdene.bsky.social. We talk about the players, the ideology, how successful it's been so far (spoiler: you live in a Christian Nationalist country), and what we can do to undo it. Tune in at 2pm CST.

Lost in the discussion of how Charlie Kirk "did politics the right way" are the lives of the two victims assassinated at Florida State University by a member of Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, in April 2025.
Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.
