Transphobes are afraid that I’ll indoctrinate children with my “trans ideology.” What they really should be afraid of is that I’ll indoctrinate children with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Hi hello violent protest is bad in that it is *exactly* what fascists want.
Fascists will *gleefully* encourage violent escalation, whether it's against people or property, so that they can justify taking you out.
Don't fall for it.

By far, the best skill I learned having a disabled parent with a mobility issue is the easiest way to spot assholes in a group. Walk slowly and see who matches your pace. If they walk with you, they're good. If they walk faster, well...

Adam Jentleson once berated me in a room full of his colleagues because I had an accurate story he didn't want to confirm to me because he didn't like how I would frame it and screamed that I couldn't possibly know what he knows and that my career would be over if I ran with it. Get over yourself.
At the DC centrist event Welcomefest just now, Adam Jentleson urges fellow centrists to “speak up more on social media,” because speaking out as he has “remains a pretty trying experience.”

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on.
But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

It's bonkers that America is run by people regularly soiling themselves from drug consumption and that these people are sending non white non-citizen residents to concentration camps under the false claim that they're bringing drugs into the country.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses.
Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment.

I’m sorry. It’s hilarious that Bibi basically ghosted Biden, loyal to Israel above all else, only for Trump to negotiate with Hamas, the one American left being freed, and Syrian sanctions lift.
Truly an immense irony.
