we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

I refuse to deplore "political violence" when it is made so explicit that it is the adjective, not the noun, that troubles the people so openly weeping and rending their garments right now. Either we all have a ticket in the Victim of Gun Violence Lotto or none of us do.

His work was calling for lynching of trans people.

Political violence is wrong no matter what and he constantly called for it.

It's a terrible tragedy that a young man was murdered in an act of political violence, which this absolutely was, and that his child is now without a father and wife without a husband. But if you think a line was crossed *just* today, well, you're part of the problem.

I’m still waiting for all the ghouls who said Annunciation had it coming because it was a “gun free zone” to explain how that squares with Charlie Kirk being gunned down on an open-carry campus.

Utah was the first state to allow open carry on campus. A would-be assailant could walk right onto campus armed as they please and nobody could’ve done a thing about it.
In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.

People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

It is wild how confident these people have been for decades that they could incite chaotic violence but it would never be directed at them. Just absolute confidence that they held the fire hose and could point it exclusively at others.
A thing I wrote after that guy tried to shoot Trump, about our elites slowly realizing that their wealth and power don’t insulate them from the stochastic violence they’ve been gleefully encouraging or glibly eliding for 25 years. Feels relevant today.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

I honestly can't think of any global power that gave up global hegemony and ever regained it. It's happened with regional powers (collapse of Mycenaea followed by the rise of Greece 600 years later springs to mind), but global powers?
This is why throughout history once a superpower/hegemon cedes that position they very rarely get it back without a lot of time passing. And their domestic politics become fatally toxic while they try to get it back or maintain the fantasy that they didn’t lose it.
Here’s the problem: Even if we somehow get these fuckers out, how can we be assured that the same shit won’t happen again in 4 years? Are we supposed to rebuild institutions twice a decade? Will our former allies bother with us again knowing another asshole will be elected by the next Olympics?

1. A new CMS directive from HHS has gone out to hospitals demanding they stop gender affirming care, despite a court order saying care can continue.

The memo openly cites anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Remember all those babies who have to be born now because “life” is too precious to spare a human being an agonizing death in infancy, or spare a pregnant person a lifetime tie to their rapist, or just let women make actual decisions?

The GOP wants to refuse those babies medical care and food.
