this is the perfect summary of MAGA
-a bunch of classless moron influencers celebrating the Epstein files
-the Epstein files are actually completely redacted because they would reveal that a bunch of right wing politicians are pedos
-the very same day, Trump frees a serial sex trafficker

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.
We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

There is no meaning to that salute beyond "I want to murder millions of people." I see it as a direct threat and an unforgivable depravity. No scrim of purported irony is gonna lessen that. It is a gesture solely for sick, murderous fucks
i keep seeing the right argue that the nazi salutes are "trolling." i think there's some truth to that, but know what exactly is being mocked. they aren't mocking the idea that they could be nazis, they're mocking the idea that they should care one way or the other.

Fighting cancer and diabetes and Alzheimer’s isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a moral one. The NIH funds the research that treats us, cures us, and keeps us healthy. We call on the Trump administration to stop these cuts

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

Today is a day of mourning for Jewish people around the world.
If you don't know why, but you talk about IsraPal online, then you are contributing to this conflict in which so many thousands have died.

As we’re starting to see, “But I voted for you!” or “I’m (a senator or representative) in your party!” is of the same genre. No one, that means no-not-one, is “in the clear.”
Academics: Do you imagine you're in the clear b/c you've played it safe, avoided commenting on so-called "controversial" issues, and/or don't teach or write on one of "those" subjects? Think again. It may start with x, y, or z "issues" or subjects. But rest assured that will be just the beginning.
