Another thing I'll add, albeit obvious: it is of VITAL importance for the media to calcify the idea that AOC is dumb as early as possible because if she IS the nominee she will be running against JD Vance, the categorically least qualified person to run for president in a century other than Trump.
Look this isn't exactly a mystery here:
1. The NYT hates AOC and does not want her to be president.
2. The easiest and likely most effective attack on AOC will be her youth i.e. lack of experience/knowledge.
3. Ergo, they are setting the style guide now: AOC is dumb.
Gonna be a long three years.

seeing in rapid succession how Rachel Levine, Lia Thomas and Dylan Mulvaney were treated was honestly radicalizing. Just a brute blunt reminder about the exceptional level of abuse and dehumanization trans women in public can expect, and how few people will stand up against it.

GOOD.
Almost a month after abruptly dismantling exhibits about slavery from the President’s House, National Park Service employees began reinstalling the panels late morning on Thursday ahead of a court-imposed deadline.

The slavery exhibits at the President’s House are beginning to be restored by the National Park Service
The restoration is the latest development in the city and community stakeholders’ fight to preserve the President’s House after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered the removal of exhibits.

I dunno if "blessing" is the correct word for being trans, cause just look at the world. I wouldn't wish this shit on anyone... but there is a huge relief in finally understanding yourself. You can't help yourself until you know.
Discovering I was trans was the greatest blessing of my life. A simple explanation for a sense of wrongness I'd felt so long I thought that wrongness was me.
I credit the trans community for bringing society to the point where I could understand what was wrong and get help.

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

“This” being the lack of accountability for association with Epstein (also "as a nation”). And by leftists, I mean both a noxious sub-set of the left left as well as the Ezra Klein “who cares repro rights” liberals/progs. Fuentes wants breeding camps and men "on our side" scream culture war at us.
The point: if we refuse to grapple as a national with misogyny, this is the natural result. While the right has gone full Handmaid’s Tale, the left still thinks “gender stuff” is a “culture war” issue and a “lesser” issue than race or class. Surprise guys, oppression olympics is a losing strategy.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!

There's a lot of middle-class women of color in the UK who are pretty all-in on the trans panic. It seems to be common thing with conservatives who have one or more marginalized identities to just not consider whether runaway Nationalism is eventually going to be a problem for them.
