For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

That Maitlis appears to be so proud of being instrumental in stripping an entire generation of trans youth of gender-affirming medical care - which has led to several suicides already - is quite frankly obscene.

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.
