Literal years of disabled people BEGGING senators and MPs to listen to them that death would be offered before the necessary care, and they brushed us off.
Only for the obvious inevitable to happen.

A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.
There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.
This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."
Behind Paramount’s Relentless Campaign to Woo Warner Discovery and President Trump

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.
THIS IS WHY WE ALL HATE EVOPSYCH. Can we please fucking discredit this pseudo-naturalist bullshit at last?

We know that the right in the U.S. was funding those asshole truckers that tried an insurrection in Ottawa and blocked border points. During a recent trial the money trail was revealed where they got their funding. The current opposition leader is a U.S. 5th column member as is the Alberta Premier

I think it’s a pretty decent example of the rhetorical use of sexual violence by the political right, which is less about any real objection to the sexual abuse of women or children than it is about casting their enemies and target groups as embroiled in like dark conspiracies of deviance.

The thing about the Diddy verdict and the budget bill is that you can and should take both of them seriously. Powerful men getting away with violence isn’t a distraction from Trump and his administration. It’s the same thing powered by the same rhetoric and logic of abuse
the interesting thing about the Diddy verdict is that House Republicans are about to vote to take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americas

People insist this was about “mean girls bullying an autistic guy,” but I’m autistic. I’ve talked about that publicly. But the empathy extended to autistic men for social awkwardness often doesn’t get extended to autistic women who express discomfort, whose tonal missteps are "cold" or "mean".

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys

Poor Kimberlé Crenshaw, doing all that vital and hard work to illustrate how civil rights law didn’t adequately account for how racism and sexism are mutually constitutive and reinforcing, only to have illiterate antifeminists be like “actually intersectionality means that sexism doesn’t count.”

The media strategy to "flood the zone with shit" that Steve Bannon said got Trump elected has since been weaponized against the Me Too movement, often by the same people using the same strategies. It's a hallmark of our social and traditional media ecosystem

One thing I don't understand from this finger-wagging is how women are supposed to forgive these young men for their immediate recourse to misogyny.
If progressives want to win back young men, then they must talk to them and address their needs, instead of constant scolding. All the finger wagging just drives them to Rogan, Peterson, and the Tate brothers. And they DO talk to young men.

well the thing is, the story progressives tell young men is less appealing than ‘your problems are women’s fault and you should manipulate them to get back what they’ve taken from you.’ so. now what

Baldoni's lawyer isnt offering any sort of narrative that clears or absolves Justin but he doesnt Need to. What he needs to sell is that you, the reader, did not fall for anything the first time and are right and correct and should continue to fall for whatever they tell you to forever in perpetuity

No one can EVER convince me that GRRM didn't come up with the name "Targaryen" because Tarragon is the dragon herb. I'm not saying he did it on purpose, but he definitely did it.
