The way that you know a society is truly free is that it is prohibited from talking about how it might not be.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I really like Zohran, but what really strikes is me is how much of what he does is just 'politics', right? It's just talking to people, stating your positions and standing by those. Being polite is a tool you use to interact with people, it's not the end goal!

Not to say that Will is an idiot, but I think... like, he thinks that things like housing, healthcare and education exist OUTSIDE of concerns about things like food prices or other goods which is not how real life works?

We had MeToo and the narrative among the political and intellectual class resolved to, "It was deeply unfair to powerful men to accuse them without "evidence"". Which in turn has become, "We can never trust victims when they accuse powerful people unless they prove it in court and not even then."

We have to turn impostor syndrome into a pill and give it to every prominent person in this country. They should constantly be worrying that they're stupid

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

You're pickling your brain, guys. Do you think immersing yourself in right wing propaganda has no effect on you because you're too smart? That's literally how fucking cults work.
Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.
If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

What I realized here is... Here's the problem: too many people in this country have been taught that some very simple conclusions that we've come to regarding trans people and human gender expressions are ideology. So we have two competing viewpoints:
Gender ideology is bad...
Gender ideology is bad...
And I have been thinking about what it'd take to win me over and the answer is I'll know it when I see it but broadly here's what I want from Democrats:
i think the thing about "will you vote for gavin newsom or not" is that there is no consideration of the easiest option which is for newsom to try to win us over lol.
