Not that anyone here doubted it, but the rhetoric about "protecting women" from the fictional threat of trans people is a transparent lie. The rhetoric and actions aimed at trans people also hurt cis women. It's about saying that pregnancy is the only thing we have to offer.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

These anti-vaxxers will kill babies.

It feels awful to be that blunt, but the stakes here are *babies dying of preventable diseases*.
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

I don't understand the takes that treat "media ecosystem" and "Trump policy blindness" as just neutral things that happened.

There is, and has been, a massive propaganda campaign by capital.

We've been stewing in it for decades.

The most effective propaganda is that which people don't even see.

Significance of this is threefold:

1. Strikes were already illegal murder of non-combatants
2. Even if they were combatants, second strike on survivors in water is execution of unarmed, also illegal
3. High-ups in U.S. military hate Hegseth enough to leak this almost immediately
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I really wish journalists would stop using the word "retribution" to describe Trump's efforts to criminalize opposition to him, as it treats his claim that his adversaries did something wrong in the first place.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
