NY Intelligencer headline: "AOC's stumble is a warning to the left"
The brunchlord establishment press hates progressives (especially female) exponentially more than fascism and it's simply not subtle

I make typos, many, many typos. I’m trying to come to peace with it. I will never come to peace with TERFS, racists, or fascists.

The technology to take copyrighted footage of Pitt or Cruise and cut them into “your” movie has existed for decades. People don’t do it because they’d get the shit sued out of them.
That’s what should happen here, too.
Without knowing who the hero and villain are and what they’re fighting for, without a sense of stakes and escalation as the fight unfolds, it’s just… moves.
I love stunts and fight choreography. They are true art and so entertaining.
But without story and character, it’s a stunt show, not a movie.
Time for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his campaign promises and ensure care is kept safe for New York trans kids.

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.

The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed.
Until they are all home.
Until we are all safe.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
The idea that to be a good citizen required curiosity about the world was a positive force. Now we just have ignoramuses crowing about "Western civilization" while knowing nothing and wanting to know even less.

It's Feb 2026, and 49% of white people in the US approve of the way Trump is handling immigration.
In case you're thinking that means that a majority disapprove? Nope! 4% are "Not sure"🤡
Some of y'all really believed that the percent of white people that support ethnic cleansing would drop lower.🤷🏿♂️
James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read.
This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top."
I know there are mouthy and enraged lawmakers doing what they can. I am sure that there are people deep in bureaucracy doing what they can. I am tired of hearing from prominent fuckos that we have to wait on some kind of play-the-game-by-the-rules nonsense. Fuck the rules, please.

It was genocide when Andrew Jackson did it to Native Americans & it’s genocide now.
That Yossi Klein Halevi circulates a letter NOW calling the word genocide “blood libel“* tells on some Israeli & US Jewish centers’ (these signatories)’ tacit approval of Palestinian land theft.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.
Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.
