Rather than let them escape, conservative policymakers are trying to trap women in marriage and motherhood. Because caregiving responsibilities make it harder for women to get themselves out.

Some @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social updates since I’ve not been on here very much (book manuscript home stretch): we just released this episode on spousal rape laws with the amazing @sarahweinman.com! It’s admittedly a dark topic, but please check it out, if you feel up to it!

Epistemic violence against sexual abuse accusers—smearing them as deluded, crazy, or incompetent—is something rapists know works, and they conspire to do it.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

I haven't been on twitter in over a year but it seems like Musk has transformed it into a powerful platform devoted to proving he's the most embarrassing person who's ever lived.

Ich stelle mir vor, eine überlegene außerirdische Intelligenz entführte eine große Gruppe von Menschen, und zwänge sie, während sie durchs All rasen, nur Debatten zwischen Mansour, Precht und Spahn anzuschauen. Der Sauerstoff geht langsam aus, die ersten Raumfahrer sterben weg. (1/3)

Ich frage mich, welche/r nordamerikanische/r Denker:in derzeit in Deutschland eine Rede halten könnte, ohne einen kollektiven Nervenzusammenbruch zu provozieren. Mir fallen nur Donald Rumsfeld und Ayaan Hirsi Ali ein.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently. In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?” And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Do you know how hard it is to politically radicalize someone who joined a website to reply with the cry laughing emoji to the Trix cereal rabbit?

Lol. Lmao even.

Wrong answers only

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Federal agents forbidding faith leaders from praying sounds like a violation of religious freedom. But then I remember that “religious” means “white Christian identity politics,” and “freedom” means “Christian nationalists’ unrestricted ability to impose their beliefs on others.”

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

But wait, I thought X was the world’s agora and snowflakes like me were wrong to abandon it for the brain rot of “Blueskyism”!!!

It feels so telling to me that our elite institutions are caving just as everyday people are seeing first successes in their push back against the authoritarian onslaught.

He beat the wrap.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

What is the posing as an ICE officer compared to being an ICE officer?

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

The obsessive wokeness panic is about elite labor market competition and prestige. People use a lot of fancy words to obscure this, and offer some substantive criticisms as well, but that’s ultimately its driving force.

The only person who has been seizing private companies through the power of the state is Trump.

“Government civil rights enforcement is now being driven by the equivalent of a YouTube comment section.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Probably about time for another diarrhea dump video.

It me 🥲

“Turn the volume up” is just insane contemporary speech work.

Lol my first election as an American citizen and it got called in under 5 minutes

Zohran has already gotten 250k more votes than Eric Adams did 4 years ago when he was hailed as the future of the Democratic Party.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

After tonight’s results shed a tear for transphobes in the Democratic Party who will now have to just own their desire to throw trans people under the bus and can no longer displace it onto “voters”

My regards to everyone watching the racists scream and cry. 🙏🏻

The only constituency where Cuomo seems to be holding strong is New York’s congressional delegation

Lmao race called for mamdani after 5 minutes.

Time to check in on Debra Messing’s instagram

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

If you're still busy redistricting in California, STAY REDISTRICTING!

Remember how in the Business Insider story about all his sexual abuse allegations he chased after a fleeing, naked teenager trying to avoid rape going "Stop running away from me. Stop running away from me."

Conservatives 2016-2024: dumb libs think words are violence Conservatives in 2025: mean words are literally violence bsky.app/profile/robe...

"Dear Martha, we've been camped outside Richmond for going on 30 days. Overhead the sandwiches are exploding day and night. The smell of the onions and mustard is overwhelming."

It is also worth saying that everyone who mocks some supposedly fake discipline like “gender studies“ or “Africana studies“ is also really excited about degree programs in things like “AI prompt engineering.” Nothing wrong with a “fake” discipline if it flatters your world view and bank account!

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today. It's resegregation in real time.
