is this why mclaughlin resigned? to make these questions slightly less painful ("former spokesperson")?

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

And just like Bondi, she can’t even fucking look at them. I’d say MAGA are scum of the earth, but even pond scum has a function on a healthy planet; these ghouls just want to see people they hate suffer, and have no qualms about burning it all down in the process.

Sticks out in my mind the moment I read that—dude was ice cold

Q. In the top of our story, we talk about the rally you attended in Managua and a wire report at the time said that there were anti-American chants from the crowd. The United States at that time - I don't know how much you know about this — was actively supporting the Contras to overthrow the government. So that there's anti-American sentiment? I remember that, I remember that event very clearly. You do recall hearing those chants? I think the wire report has them saying, "Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die." hey were fighting against American -- Huh huh--yes, what is your point? I wanted to —— Are you shocked to learn that there was anti-American sentiment? My point was I wanted to know if you had heard that. I don't remember, no. Of course there was anti-American sentiment there. This was a war being funded by the United States against the people of Nicaragua. People were being killed in that war. Do you think if you had heard that directly, you would have stayed at the rally? I think Sydney, with all due respect, you don't understand a word that I'm saying.

Update, 1:25 p.m. March 3: In a move that melds the unprofessionalism of the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi with the rule-by-shifting-Truth-social-decrees attitude of President Donald Trump, the two DOJ lawyers on the law firm executive order cases filed a motion on Tuesday to withdraw their Monday motion to dismiss the law firm order case appeals. Yes, now DOJ wants to continue the appeals. The motion provided no reasoning for the reversal, with Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Deputy Associate Attorney General Abhishek Kambli simply stating that “it is the prerogative of Defendant-Appellants to pursue this appeal.“ Per the motion, the lawyers for the law firms “oppose the government’s unexplained request to withdraw yesterday’s voluntary dismissal, to which all parties had agreed.“ They also noted that, regardless, this should not provide DOJ with yet another excuse for delay in the case, specifically referencing DOJ’s forthcoming Friday deadline for filing its combined brief in the appeals.

Okay but that pin is fire

No offence, but I don’t get leftists that get something from Nazi jurist Schmitt for the same reason I don’t get leftists that get something from Nazi philosopher Heidegger—there are a lot of thinkers that said it before, better, without all the ideological baggage. But I won’t stop you!

Which states are officially communist? I won’t steal his thunder if my husband ever writes the review, but Rockhill doesn’t hide it because it’s all over his CV.

Husband was fuming over Gabriel Rockhill for about a solid week. The campist left sucks. Absolutely unscholarly work, as well

I think we should get back to the Gabriel Rockhill ‘Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?’ discourse and yank on the thread of who pays Gabriel Rockhill because it’s extremely funny (husband spent five minutes on it and was like, ‘wait, he got money from which state? Oh that makes so much sense!’)

Okay I get the last bit but everything else before that?

DOJ has asked a federal appeals court to un-drop its challenge to lower-court rulings that President Trump illegally targeted law firms he disfavored.

They’re just collapsing all non-cis-straight-men categories together, and my husband can distinguish a he/him lesbian from a butch from fifty paces

This stuff bothers me to no end: the most effeminate trans woman I know is straightforwardly a lesbian! She’s only dated women, only been attracted to women, long before she came out!

I see a good 8% left until we hit that ceiling, though. I don’t want to see anybody in the ‘don’t have an opinion’ category. It’s either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ from now on.
