Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

How to Erase a Woman One line at a time

“A woman’s accomplishments go unrecorded and unnoticed, or she is reduced to her relationship to a man and child. Wife, mother, blank. Her contributions are man-washed.” open.substack.com/pub/dinahono...

“They’re Using Megaphones” In the first issue of The Drift, we kicked off our interview series with Wendy Brown, one of the foremost political theorists in the United States.

“I’ve been criticizing liberal democracy my whole life for subtending capitalism, racism, sexism, and the rest of it. The question for the left is: How do we consolidate into a force that can actually do things? That’s what the right has figured out.” www.thedriftmag.com/theyre-using...

Millions of Gen Z’ers Don't "Feel Bad" About Charlie Kirk's Murder. Here’s Why. The online reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination reveals a generational (and partisan) disconnect on issues of gun violence, systemic injustice, and the nature of political hatred.

“His death, for thousands—if not millions—of (young) people (on the left), wasn't a senseless tragedy that demanded unity. It was a predictable, if horrific, consequence of a system he spent his career building.” open.substack.com/pub/historyc...

Exactly. Well said!

What Charlie Kirk's Death Means to Me Liberals are rushing to participate in his canonization. Don't let them.

“To say that I am angry with the liberal response to Kirk’s murder would be an understatement. Exemplified by Ezra Klein’s NYT op-ed, and prominent in my Facebook feed, the thought is that Charlie Kirk deeply disagreed with them, but was nonetheless a hero.” open.substack.com/pub/katemann...

How Women’s Growing Wealth Could Change the World And how it might not

Three Old White Men in South Carolina Want More Women and Babies to Die SC Senators Cash, Rice and Garrett Sponsor Anti-Abortion Superbill

Dingus of the week: Malcolm Gladwell And the ourodingus

“There are truly no bounds to the desperation of the planet’s most fortunate people. So hungry are they to experience one actual minor inconvenience so they can crow about being victimized that they’re forced to pull fake problems out of the ether.” open.substack.com/pub/lyz/p/he...

Slavery Was Defined by Sexual Violence Trump doesn’t want you to know that.

“As Genovese and Trump demonstrate, the excuses and explanations and deflections that shielded white men from accountability during slavery are still in many ways in place. The vicious mechanics of rape culture under slavery remain hidden.” open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

How to fix the f*cked up gun "debate" that's killing our kids We don't have to talk like this.

“There are clear, evidence-based solutions to gun violence that have been proven to work, and relatively quickly. But those evidence-based arguments are overshadowed and stalled by non-evidence based arguments that are designed to keep us going in circles.” open.substack.com/pub/matriarc...

Reinventing the wheel: 600 years of women realizing they are not innately inferior to men "Its not you, it's the system." - every generation of women. (voice over: "but their words were not recorded or shared. Leaving the next generation to wake up to the same realization on their own")

“I, a woman, struggled to invent the wheel of women reinventing the wheel only to learn that this wheel had in fact already been invented by women.” open.substack.com/pub/celestem...

MAGA Attacks on Women In Hyperdrive 'Christian' nationalists, right wing podcast bros, and MAGA politicians have formed an axis of evil against women — men must step up to fight back

“Every right throughout American history that was by default afforded to men, women had to fight for. The blueprint is the same as during America’s founding: strip women of autonomy, erase them from public life, and reduce them to property.” www.qasimrashid.com/p/maga-attac...

No One Hates Women as Much as America Hates Women Wedding cake smash videos are just one example.

“That may sound like hyperbole, but it’s definitely not. In the U.S. it’s becoming more and more accepted to openly hate and openly hurt women.” open.substack.com/pub/designmo...

Dingus of the week: Kim Davis Also, Owen Shroyer: I hope to never hear your name again

“If your job is to dig holes, and then you convert to an anti-hole religion, you don’t get to insist on being paid for not digging holes and then compare yourself to Jesus Christ himself.” open.substack.com/pub/lyz/p/du...

You Do Not "Owe" Your Husband Sex And other things I shouldn’t have to say

“There are so many things I wish were obvious. I’d hope men everywhere would know they can’t assault girls just because they want to - that it isn’t okay, and a girl’s life is worth just as much as a boy’s.” open.substack.com/pub/allyhami...

Epstein Is Only the Tip of the Iceberg: The Trump Protection Machine and the Epidemic of Violence Against Women On July 2, the jury delivered a guilty verdict on some of the charges against music mogul Sean Combs for his decades of horrific sexual abuse of women with the help of his extensive staff and deep poc...

The piecemeal stories--"here is this one bad man we need to do something about" – don't address the reality that the problem is systemic and the solution isn't police and prison. It's social change.” www.meditationsinanemergency.com/epstein-is-o...

My Fellow Americans

“I wish it weren’t possible for anyone grown and living in the US to maintain such a degree of naivety about what this country is willing to do to any person, at any time, anywhere on the planet, if it serves the twin Gods of enrichment and domination.” meantforyou.beehiiv.com/p/my-fellow-...

Trump Admin to Torch $10 Million in Birth Control Meant for Women in Crisis Zones On Wednesday, Reuters confirmed that the contraceptives, intended for women in war zones and refugee camps, are being shipped to France to be incinerated.

“Destroying the contraceptives, which will cost taxpayers $167,000, is part of DOGE’s plan to slash government “waste,” which includes slashing 83% of the Agency for International Development, or USAID.” www.jezebel.com/trump-admin-...

July 18, 2025 [There is a lot about sexual assault in tonight’s letter.]

“The story is also about a group of elite people who think they are better than the rest of us and have the right to dominate anyone that is not part of their group, particularly people of color, Black Americans, and women, no matter what the law says.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The Music Cassie Never Got To Make Abusers like Sean Combs destroy women’s lives and art.

“Patriarchy harms women. It also destroys art by women, which is effectively half the potential art that can be made on earth.” open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

We Need to Defund the Police to Fight Fascism Moderates hate the slogan. But it’s more necessary than ever.

“The police don’t actually keep anyone safe; they are not intended to keep anyone safe. So instead of giving them more money to make people less safe, we should fund institutions that actually make people’s lives better.” open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

I witness the masculinity crisis at the Trump rally And got my chair stolen

Boys Do Cry There’s widespread social concern that boys and men are not allowed to express their tender emotions. What if it’s a myth?

“Maybe it is time to stop telling boys that they get to cry, if they have the social permission already. Maybe it is time to start reminding them to be attentive to the tears of others, and, most importantly, not to cause them.” open.substack.com/pub/katemann...

It’s Still Fascism When Democrats Do It The attacks on Zohran Mamdani are MAGA politics

“Rhetorical support for Israel, even unto brutal war crimes, has become a major way in which Democratic candidates signal that the party is moderate, reasonable, and willing to hate some of the same people (Palestinians, Muslims) who are also hated by the right.” open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

You're Not As Stupid As You Think but you will be.

“The last six months of his term have been nothing short of a psy-op on the average thinking, feeling person. Be you unfortunate enough to have a shred of integrity, a half-baked sense of justice, and a working conscience, your mind is mush from all the horrors.” open.substack.com/pub/skyfishi...
