When I teach research, one of the things I emphasize is that how you ask a question impacts how people answer it. You have to think about how you phrase a question & how that impacts the way that people are primed and respond. Using ideology around trans rights makes a statement & primes people.
The terms that pollsters use *matters* because whether trans people are "issues" (or an "ideology") or whether we're ... people, this is the essence of the fight itself.

For MAGA, this form of cross-racial solidarity and anti-authoritarian “neighborism” is acutely dangerous. Trumpism as a political project stipulates that whiteness would override other forms of solidarity. If not, then what do they have to offer with their vastly destructive policies?

Fun fact: I learned that the cast of the Seattle football team were performing in the Superbowl by seeing this video yesterday!
Need a mood boost?

Not sure why this wasn't/isn't in every newspaper when discussing RFK Jr.
Unsurprising news for anyone who was following this event in 2019...

At least 1 US senator concerned that RFK Jr. lied to Congress.

Samoan officials later said his trip bolstered the cred of antivax activists ahead of a measles outbreak that sickened thousands & killed 83, mostly kids under 5. 🛟
Newly revealed emails undermine RFK Jr testimony about 2019 Samoa trip ahead of measles outbreak
Kennedy later said the purpose of his trip had nothing to do with vaccines. US embassy and UN staff at the time said otherwise, emails show

Who the fuck wants Penn Station named after them. It is a lot nicer than it used to be but... It's still Penn Station. Like... It's Penn Station! Like its a place I need to go to or I am stuck at bc of train issues.
House Democrats reacted with swift fury this evening over reports that President Trump floated renaming Dulles Airport and Penn Station after himself in exchange for unfreezing $16 billion in funds for the Gateway Development Project.
Democrats erupt in fury over Trump demanding Schumer help rename Dulles, Penn Station
"There is no point in yielding to his ever-changing ransom demands," said one Democrat.

This is the part a lot of people I feel don't want to acknowledge.
This class of men, including Epstein, were naturally drawn to far right populism as a way to fight growing calls for accountability.

They supported and inflated the far right wherever they could, and Epstein was part of it.

Crap... My son is asking about football & the superbowl. I don't know which casts are fighting in the superbowl or which performer won the most goals. I know Bad Bunny will be doing the halftime show.

My baking from yesterday & today. Dark & Stormy cookies from the NY Times christmas cookie collection. They were yummy and had a nice lime flavor (& I usually don't like lime).

This morning we learned that my son can get onto the top shelf of the pantry where we put food we don't want him to get into and my daughter can crawl into the rooms we don't want her in so yeah... It's been a morning of discovery.

Shabbat shalom everyone. My 6-strand challah is baked. My chicken is marinating and keeping it simple (for me) tonight. I hope everyone has a restful shabbat as we explore how we can practice tikkun olam.

Gave blood today and the nurse asked me if I could try to be more straight (meaning my arms). I responded "A bunch of people asked me that in High School" and that led to a fun awkward silence.

Reupping because I am really proud of how far I have come in making macarons!
A friend of ours is doing us a big favor and helping us with pickup so I made them some macarons with a chocolate ganache filling. Their last name starts with C so I painted a little C on them.

Last night we got another 2 or 3", on top of the 16" we already had. I need the snow to stop for the rest of the winter. I have no place to put it anymore. We literally have a snow pile outside the house as tall as me!

Just south of Boston we got 10" today with the possibility of another 8" tomorrow. By the time Nate & Sy shoveled our and our neighbors driveways, it was covered again!

Our worthless class of elites is responsible for Trump, not because they agree with him but because their affectation of seriousness has suffocated them and made it impossible to leverage their resources and platforms to stop or slow him. They’d have to break the pose, and REACT, and they will not.
