The religious right’s “porn is a public health crisis” campaign has exploited this media weakness for years, using faith-based pseudoscientific claims to manufacture consent for censorship, surveillance and sexual repression.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

They said they were banning "pornography." Now they're banning books about cats and dogs. At PEN America, we're fighting back. With your help this #GivingTuesday, we'll keep challenging the censors and fighting to keep books where they belong: in the hands of students. Donate now at: pen.org/GT25BS

Arguing that God (He/Him) has womanly beauty should prove far more destructive to her sense of the binary than a mountain of Judith Butler.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

the thing about unleashing endless threats of violence on people who don’t do what you want is that it works a lot of the time but when it doesn’t you end up with people extremely committed to telling you to shove it up your ass
A new post by a Republican state Senator in Indiana, saying she will "not cave" on redistricting as she shares that she was just the target of a pipe bomb threat to due "DC political pundits."

It has been painfully obvious for *decades* that far-right wanted force US to listen to far-right speech while making other speech illegal, but our insanely stupid & short-sighted & hateful Elite joined them in pretending their anti-free-speech agenda was actually free-speech.

and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

If you control a person’s sexuality, you control that person.
“Sex must be civilized and civilizing”
The Christian right is *really* aching to get into your bedroom. They’ve flooded the zone with pseudoscience and moral panics around porn, but their real missionary position is to control sexuality like the old Catholic Church.

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop.
Why would ANYONE think "Yeah, but what if we brought them back?"
