THIS is what i mean when I say, we cannoy give these cretins cover by only focusing on Trump. The abbetors and enablers need to be in focus as well.

ID the actual problem. The REPUBLICAN party decent into fascism, either by action or defense and support. Its not Trump alone. It is an orchestrated in-group plan executed by souless, cruel people. People who actively, and gleefully support the plan. Please stop giving cover to the ground troops.

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate.

Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone.

Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.
Genuinely curious: I thought that was the general guidance all along? Puberty blockers or hormone prescriptions for youth, but surgery later on?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I am curious at all if this paper cuts across race because listen.
Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?

These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.

So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer and led a team that included multiple federal agencies. All this training didn't stop him from shooting Renee Nicole Good. His training *facilitated* the shooting.

No amount of training will solve the problem that ICE is a violent ethnic cleansing squad.
Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."

This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

IF we survive this Hellish next 10 months, and IF Dems win control of the House and Senate: I swear before All Things Holy, if they do not begin with instant impeachment and removal of SC Justices (other Fed judges as well) and a US equivalent Nuremberg Trials, we have to accept the US is over.
Q: Is the administration really willing to risk the NATO alliance by potentially moving ahead with a military operation?

Landed safely in Atlanta. I have returned to the Origin of my hatching for a brief Holiday. Here to celebrate my mother's and mine birthday. Also, some time with other friends as well. Now, to survive Atlanta traffic leaving the airport.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

WHEN we prosecute this as the Crime Against Humanity (Society) it is, the penalities should not just be prison; but complete asset forfeiture. Assets flow into public coffers. Not to family, business partners, shareholders, or even in trust. Payment for this stunning lack of empathy and cruelty.

Contact your reps directly.

I keep seeing stuff about a petition and like, contact your reps directly. Sign that too if you want, but petition signatures are a lesser priority.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

The problem with climate change is we have to convince a bunch of people that future people are actual people, when they don't even believe some currently alive people are people.
