please keep to heart that each and every one of these attempts to eradicate trans women from public life, from professors to girl guides, is a form of misogyny so efficient in how it keeps the regime of sexual difference intact that it smoothly undercuts everyone else's rights

very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die

i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet

The sheer sadistic glee of being able to impose their bigotry on women who they openly admit don't want it.

Rep. Cammarck wants my entire family to disappear from America in the name of some cultural cohesion, the same way Nazis wanted my family to disappear from Austria (which they indeed achieve) for the same reason. My opinion is that Rep. Cammarck is a Nazi PoS.

Honestly, it's the bear's house now. Sure, the homeowners can try to live there until the bear files for eviction, but under bear law, possession (i.e., living in the home's crawlspace) is ten tenths of the law.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment. The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

The Arizona City Council Member allegedly took the child after she propositioned a colleague for sex at a Turning Point USA event.

you’re 12 years old. ask jeeves just hit the market. and you can search for one thing.

bugs are a class of animal where it is completely normalized to perform gruesome murderous disgust at their existence, to the extent that its a relatable cutesy joke to say "kill it with fire" and I find that weird! why's everyone just ok with it, why don't ppl try and work past that fear.

Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.

"I care about fairness in sport" Why? is this your kids first sports day?

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

not to run a bit of a tangent off of dr andrews here but this is always so funny to me. "fairness in sports." like you know fuck all about that. like there are more than a few thousand people on earth who do. like those people are at all interested in 99% of high schools, much less middle schools

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

Look as a constitutional law professor I gotta tell you that no college essay should receive anything less than a C. Now let’s talk about the constitutionality of naptime and no I don’t think this is a waste of time when America is just merking civilians overseas and rounding up women and children

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The question here is not "do I disagree with an instructor giving a student who didn't seem to read the article a zero," it's "do I disagree with vile slurs against an instructor who gave a student—who did not seem to read the article or follow the assignment—a zero." I think the question matters.

Yeah it’s uhh not great that so much of the professoriate doesn’t seem particularly inclined to do the bare minimum of “get mad about obvious discrimination of a peer”

The thing about useful idiots in professional spaces is that the whole game, from the perspective of the fascist, is to constantly game them into taking ”innocuous” positions on any given day’s culture war issue, thus forcing them to perpetually conflict with everything left of the fascists.

I would suggest you go back to college then because things like "supporting your arguments with facts" and "citing your sources" is some shit you learn in high school, and if that essay passes for anything other than a barely literate op ed, I would have serious concerns about the institution

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

this is a key point. various elite centrists and liberals have become radically pilled on transphobia (likely on Vichy Twitter) and joined the right-wing exterminationist crusade

Sorry to be a broken record but it's nuts to me that the New York Times would write an entire article summarizing a court ruling and refuse to provide a link to said ruling. This is a disservice to readers. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n... Here's the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@katelynburns.com: "The student's mom... is a former Springfield, MO city council member who faced a recall campaign in 2017 before resigning in late 2018. She's a conservative attorney who sued several cities in 2020 seeking to overturn local mask mandates and went on to defend several J6ers."

Trans genocide is fundamentally premised on the elimination of trans people from public life. Purging trans people from all sorts of workplaces — forcing them into the trifecta of "NGO job, artist, or sex worker" from yesteryear — is one such means of genocide. (OU = Oklahoma University, in the US)

okay now do labour's alliance with the us hard-right. who do you think is behind 'sex matters', 'for women scotland', 'lgb alliance' and so on? you only have to look at their lawyers to see it's the american religious right. farage is a worry but ppl like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social are in power.

The conservative cultural project right now is to use the coercive power of the state to do affirmative action for bigots.

This kind of cowardice tells every student everywhere —& their parents— that they can have a teacher fired asap if they either (a) dislike what they perceive to be the “politics” of a given area of expertise or (b) don’t like the grade they got for their half assed work in that area or (c) both

I hope this graduate student finds a different psych program to join next year. They deserve better than an institution that will throw them under the bus for failing a poorly done assignment.

If you ever meet a conservative with a university degree, you should assume by default that this is how they passed their courses.

Jesus Christ. She had *just* won an outstanding TA award for her work.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Journalists like Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza are considered unethical. Fine, but what's worse is that journalists like the White House reporters who stand by silently while Trump unleashes racist and sexist abuse are considered ethical.

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I'm nodding my head like, 'yeah'

He was absolutely one of the best comedians of our time, and a lot of that came from riffing in sometimes-filthy, sometimes-absurdist ways on his own moral sensibilities (which trended liberatory). Then he was held to an actual moral standards and it broke him

I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?

yep. no mention in the article of right wing billionaires ruining the WaPo and CBS. no mention of Murdoch outlets spreading right wing bullshit for decades. no mention of the clear biases of nuzzi and tapper and so many other famous journalists. no mention of destruction of teen vogue.

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

Let me do a quick thread on this, as someone who was raised in a fundamentalist religious academic environment and has many family members still very deep in this world. 1/?

a pretty good illustration of where conservatism is at currently is TPUSA at Oklahoma University trying to start an anti-trans witch hunt over an essay that, being generous, is written at a level that is intellectually beneath writing i was asked to do at the age of 13 for my middle school classes

TP USA is trying to run a harassment campaign to get a trans TA fired for giving a crappy paper from one of their students a bad grade. Attempts to fire trans people from jobs should be seen for what they are--violent attacks on our ability to feed ourselves and stay housed because of who we are.

Literally TPUSA is trying to get a faculty member fired for saying "you can hold whatever viewpoints you want and that's fine but you need to cite sources, use critical reasoning, and disagree respectfully" and that's too much for them

Administration be like “Our Leader has announced a Reichsexekution of Democrat states under pretext of an Ausnahmenzustand to make them work with our Einsatzgruppen making more Lebensraum for our Volksgemeinschaft by remigrating all the lebensunwertes Leben. And DON’T call us NAZIS, it’s OFFENSIVE!”
