2. If we could just normalize human sexuality in all of its healthy, joyful, consensual forms, we could solve a lot of problems. Porn is fine. Hypocrisy? Not so much. And neither of them belong at work, or school.

"Mr. Walters faces a reassessment by voters next year, and it’s too early to tell if he’s about to experience any professional symptoms of electoral dysfunction. Perhaps he’ll crank out a reasonable explanation for all this against the stiff opposition."

People who get paid a lot of money have been telling us for years that the GOP would never take away abortion, or Medicaid, or social security.
The GOP overturned Roe
The GOP is gutting Medicaid
The GOP is killing social security.
Don’t recall who coined it, but The Deconstruction Age is here.

Good "missing data" story
When Trump encounters a demographic he doesn’t care for, he “disappears” them–in many cases, the very record of their existence.

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
