I've studied a lot of right-wing propaganda but I've never encountered anyone whose output is as mindless and cruel as Stephen Miller:

truly what kind of parent, seeing their child go through that, instead of becoming an advocate for trans youth, goes on the fucking Jordan Peterson show to trash their kid

I mostly post on Twitter because I'm trying to reach harder to reach people. I like this place better though. I've also not experienced problems with suppression so far, except with links. we'll see though

One of the most evil things that Elon Musk has done is reacting to his trans daughter not by supporting her but by berating her and then publicly declaring her dead

Needs to be a complete boycott of Tesla.
Drive the share price to zero. Elon Musk is extremely vulnerable here. He depends on Democrats to buy his cars. (Republicans don't want EVs.) If they stop buying, the price plummets, and he will be ousted as CEO. This is his weak spot.

anyone who uses this term regarding SS either doesn't have a clue how it works or is willfully trying to manipulate people into misunderstanding it so that it can more easily be destroyed

Why Social Security Is Not a Ponzi Scheme Old age insurance is not a scam, and it’s not destined to collapse. Proponents of privatizing or eliminating Social Security are constantly telling lies about it.

I don't know if anyone is still under the misconception that Elon Musk is intelligent but here I have explained why he is completely wrong to describe Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-soc...

Amy Coney Barrett ruled against Trump in one legal case so now right-wingers are all immediately turning on her and calling her a "fake Catholic" and "DEI judge" with a suspicious face

Matt Yglesias Is Confidently Wrong About Everything The Biden administration’s favorite centrist pundit produces smug pseudo-analysis that cannot be considered serious thought. He ought to be permanently disregarded.

The opinions of Matt Yglesias have been even more irritating than usual lately, so I have written a careful explanation of what makes his work so consistently wrong. His ignorant, callous, smug commentary should be permanently ignored. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-opi...

This is right. They're not interested in serious argument. Their job is to have terrible takes that annoy people. They thrive on the annoyance.

I was actually kind of shocked when they couldn't give me the regulation because I figured that would have been exposed rather quickly

Had a strong suspicion watching that video that it wouldn't hold up. Very funny that a lefty magazine editor had to do the legwork that 1,000 Beltway reporters apparently couldn't.

I contacted her state's Department of Children, Youth and Families. They were absolutely emphatic that she is not telling people the truth and there is no regulation that would prohibit peeling fruit. In fact, their regulations say the opposite and say healthy food must be served.

Why Is a Democratic Representative Claiming It’s Illegal to Peel Bananas in a Daycare? Democrats may be tempted to shore up working-class support by telling exaggerated stories about big bad bureaucrats. Instead, they should portray government as the vehicle for achieving our collective...

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a centrist Democrat who pushes conservative narratives on regulation, says that her state makes it illegal to peel bananas in a daycare. But when I asked, her office could not provide me with evidence that such a regulation exists. www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-is-...

Doctors Who Spread Medical Misinformation Should Lose Their Licenses. Why Don’t They? Doctors have been some of the worst spreaders of medical misinformation in recent years. Why do most of them get away with it?

Dr. Oz ought to have been stripped of his medical license long ago, as my colleague Lily showed here: www.currentaffairs.org/news/2023/05...
