Transphobic misinformation is a gateway drug - EAPM Style and Accessibility Guide

I’m a better world ‘trans’ wouldn’t be an issue.
I don’t give a shit about being trans. I care about being a woman. It’s everyone else who cares about the trans part.

Reading this piece made me wonder if the liberals who think CK wasn't *that* bad share his hatred of trans people.
Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.
The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

The tariff scam no one is talking about...
If tariffs imposed by the current administration are upheld as illegal, importers would be entitled to refunds. There is currently no law that would require importers who receive these refunds to pass them on to consumers.

It’s interesting that the poorest states also tend to have the highest crime rates, and they tend to be the lowest educated as well… 9 out of 10 of them are red.
If you want to make America rich again, safe again, and smart again, it seems that red policies are the worst option.

Remember that during war crimes trials of the Bosnian war, testimony arose that during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, wealthy foreigners paid money to members of Serb nationalist forces to engage in "human hunting" of civilians for sport.

I've never been called a slur for being straight. No one told me I'm going to burn in hell for being straight. There aren't any programs where I could be tortured into no longer being straight. There aren't any countries where I can be put to death simply for being straight.

Don't downplay real suffering or assume that growth is automatic.
What makes people stronger are strong systems that help when help is needed.

ICE is becoming the MAGA Gestapo
The Gestapo could arrest individuals without judicial review or formal charges. Their actions were considered administrative, not criminal, thereby bypassing legal protections.
