Kind of the ultimate recoding of all signs. Each bet is an explosion of meaning-making. An oil leak is already immediately transformed from a disaster for ecosystems and lives into a market impact for everyone holding the corporation's stock, but this is an upgrade to the granularity.

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

Getting legacy media to give air time to actual scientists who can communicate - and there are plenty out there - is incredibly difficult; and they are then set up against cranks whose opinions are supposedly the same value as years of scholarship
Scientists are partly to blame by not learning to effectively communicate in lay language on modern communication channels. That information void is then ripe for disinformation to fill.
Embed lay comms & accessibility skills into academia.

I am well versed in American racism and I can tell you that Greene, Mace, and Boebert have neither tired of white supremacy nor the patriarchy and are simply bitter that they are no longer young enough, white enough, attractive enough or useful enough to reap the rewards of Bondi, Noem, and Kirk.
I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Buttigieg largely interpreted the queer left's rejection of him in the 2020 primary as a rejection of his identity as a gay white man--i.e. he wasn't "queer enough" or "oppressed enough" to represent queer people--when queer people as a population are just to his left politically

They want to eradicate trans people. Denying their humanity is a step in that direction. Any elected who doesn't take a stand to protect the trans community will have blood on their hands. Anyone who calls this a "purity test" is complicit. That this is even being debated is monstrous.
SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.
This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.
