Those radicalised to the right take mild criticism with the same affront as a thorough fucking drubbing, so you might as well say what you think. And if ‘mild criticism’ is the best you have of these people, do better.
As with Emma Watson and Rowling, the "smear" Linehan gets here is actually a bunch of compliments with only a *very* mild push back on not agreeing with him. TERFs demand complete acquiescence, anything less is an affront.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

Band Aid is selling glow in the dark bandaids. Couldn’t catch me in one of those. It’s the real world equivalent of a glowing weak spot that telegraphs where you can hit someone for massive damage.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

I honestly feel like this is all being done to mock, not to persuade. They know it's absurd to use a traumatic head injury that they caused as an excuse for starvation. They know those angry about it can't do anything about it. The absurdity is a flex of power.
Netanyahu shared a video from Olivia Reingold arguing that it doesn’t count as starvation if the kids in Gaza had preexisting conditions

If you disagree with the nomination and you vote to advance, then you don’t disagree with the nomination. The vote is how you agree or disagree. Enough of this weak disingenuous bullshit.
Notable: Trump UN nominee Mike Waltz was on track to fail by a tie vote in committee, but Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen cast a decisive vote to rescue him. 12-10, he advances to the full Senate.

My "favorite" Kessler "fact check" was when he called Bernie Sanders a liar for correctly noting that "Three people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America." Kessler's argument was that it doesn't count because "people in the bottom half have essentially no wealth."
