Why some feel so threatened by existence of transgender ppl: "If you are a man & hinge a great deal of your identity on being a man, what does this piece of your identity really mean if someone born female can ‘pass’ as being just 'as much of a man' as you?" www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/incl...

I agree with Parker here: a significant chunk (if not most) of the leopards-eating-faces stories we are seeing right now are better framed as "the mainstream media knowingly misled their readers/viewers by covering Trump's obviously false campaign statements as though he weren't a pathological liar
The problem I have with these sorts of pieces is that they don't acknowledge the role that the press played in spreading Trump's obvious lies. Like yeah, this lady in WaPo thought Trump was going to make IVF free. I wonder where she got that idea...

The reason people on SNAP buy more soda than the national average is because you can get a 2-liter of soda for $0.69, while milk is $5 or more and pure juice is even more than that. SNAP benefits already don't last the month for most families - the majority of whom work full time.

There's a reason that AI is so beloved by fascists right now—like fascism, it tempts us to abandon the complexity of the world for the simplicity of power, & to give up the need to do the difficult but necessary work to understand the world by allowing some authority to impose its own understanding

Fascist weirdos want to project power & competence. They want to be seen as the pinnacle of what a human can be. They want to be the awe of their friends & the terror of their enemies

"Processing camps" is an interesting euphemism for concentration camps. "Small army of private citizens" sounds a lot like historical brown coats and SS men.
A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.
Documents reveal how military contractors want to take over mass deportations
The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.
