Anyway, big congrats to Nobel Peace Laureate Maria Corina Machado for getting the war she practically begged for — only for it to blow up spectacularly in her face.

And of course, to presidenta-por-vida Rodriguez for gaining a powerful new patron and everything else she ever could have wanted

Dette er også grunnen til at den mumlete ikke-fordømmelsen fra europeiske ledere er så skandaløs. Den setter nordisk sikkerhet i direkte fare.

How the media are gaslighting trans people
"How the media are gaslighting trans people" 6 frame comic in two columns. on the left, Trump, Hegseth and Bondi are disparaging trans people and vowing to exterminate them. On the right, newspaper article with the same images of them, reporting what they said but with no mention of trans people.

How does the entire national press end up aligning with very obvious racists and straight up fascists, against the anti-racist left? I am going to say “deliberately” and observe that it doesn’t matter much whether that was due to malice or stupidity, because the outcome is the same either way.

A multi-panel image features LEGO minifigure heads with text added to create a humorous exchange referencing Sigmund Freud. In the first panel, a character labeled “I’m depressed” speaks to another labeled “Freud.” In the second panel, Freud responds with “It’s probably” followed by the word “penis” highlighted in pink. The next two panels show silent close-ups of the minifigures’ faces staring at each other. In the final panel, Freud says, “Anyways, here’s your prescription,” while holding a piece of paper labeled “Cocaine.”

The idea that self-censoring is a new form of oppression forced on white men rather than a normal part of having a prefrontal cortex and existing in society is some of the biggest bullshit in the centrist/right wing coalition gender grift

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the "wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices." FCC v. Beach Communications, Inc., 508 U. S. 307, 313 (1993). Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children. Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts' view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves.

Katie Honan: Imagine you’re caught in a rip tide, and then a drone flies over your head. Suddenly out of the speaker you hear the opening bars of “Empire State of Mind,” then the voice of Mayor Eric Adams: “Stay focused, no distractions, grind, and swim parallel to the shore.”

Goddamn, this hits hard
To hear the anti-alarmists tell it, you’d think those of us who called this from the start did so by chance. That we made a foolish bet on a bad poker hand and are now taking a victory lap when the right cards came up. Through gritted teeth, they’ll acknowledge the win, but no more. They won’t let go of the feeling that we got lucky, that they had been right to be skeptical. That they might have something to learn from us alarmists has never really occurred to them. And this is the heart of my case for why we should stress that we ‘called it.’ As the situation gets worse, as our constitutional, economic, and social orders unravel, more and more less political people will start tuning in, looking for answers. Who should they listen to? At the moment, the bulk of space in both traditional and new media is taken up by people who got it badly wrong. If they are allowed to define the response, we will continue to be a step (several steps) behind.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
