Open bribery by a foreign leader. The exact scenario that the Founders feared.
"no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State"

It must be magnificent to be these billionaires and foreign countries, all of whom secretly scorn Trump, giving him lavish but vulgar gifts that he doesn’t understand are elaborate expressions of their contempt for him, his taste, his principles, and his self-awareness.

I'm sharing this bit for folks in my specific situation (F on my passport which is correct, got it changed during the Biden admin):
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
The intent, for anyone paying attention, is clearly to revoke trans peoples’ passports and then refuse to issue new ones, keeping us captive and on a state extermination list.
Trump Admin Quietly Changes State Department Page To Indicate It May Invalidate Trans Passports
The change comes after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration and lifted a temporary injunction.

It takes all the addictive dynamics of gambling and video games, puts it in a device that's in your hands for a staggering percentage of your waking hours, and ties it to one of the most popular forms of competition in the country, made of math that provides an illusion of predictability.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

A stellar read, and one whose concepts around the idea of trans "film images" over trans "representation" are stuff that I'd love to see disseminated and used in criticism/academia.
It's transgender awareness week, and if you ever wanted to learn more about the history of transness in cinema, you could pick up our book CORPSES, FOOLS AND MONSTERS at your local library or purchase a copy. We wrote this book for trans people like us. Thank you.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

I think my 'most woke opinion' is that all people are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It turns out the necessary conclusions are so woke we still aren't quite there 250 years later.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
