The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

The Republican party apparently thinks that making fun of people’s deaths is absolutely abhorrent, unless the people dying are your perceived political enemies.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I think the think about the propaganda push around Charlie Kirk that I find most unsettling is that the whole strategy of raising the salience of this guy's death kind of depends either on hoping no one finds out about his life or assuming the ideological gloss will hold up under that scrutiny

Blaming the prevalence of mass shootings in America on the existence of trans people isn’t just a dangerously stigmatizing, politically motivated take. It’s also bad math.
"Transgender individuals are much more prone to being the victims of violence than they are likely to commit it.”

Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years:
-gender does not cause them
-SSRIs, no
-mental illness, no
-internet/gaming, no
Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo:
suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
-gender does not cause them
-SSRIs, no
-mental illness, no
-internet/gaming, no

On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting.
Sen. Ted Cruz stripped weather forecasting funds from Trump's megabill. Then the floods came.
Among other things, he removed $150 million slated to improve modeling, predictions, and public communications.
