its actually not hypocrisy because conservatives see any amount of femininity as sexual; any amount femininity is a license to sexualize so developing secondary characteristics is license to them and drag is hyperfeminine, which they read as hypersexual, and thus strange to them to have at brunch

Nice argument, but I’ve already depicted you as that culotte clad butcher of Champ de Mars Lafayette and myself as the towering champion of liberty Danton

Capitalism is older than calculus and yet we still have a recession that causes mass death every ten years, and I learned integrals at sixteen. No other field is taking the kind of Ls that capitalist economists are. It's like if physicists were still looking for a perpetual motion machine.

Men rape. Poor men more often. A poor man is incapable of taking part in epsteins globalist cabal of sex traffickers. Ask a poor man his opinion on Epstein in 2006 and he’d say “who?” Ask a rich woman, and she’d say “I recommended him read lolita, thought he’d like it”

a heinous news cycle in every sense of the word

I think we have to burn down Harvard. We can rebuild, but place is rotted out. Feel free to burn down Yale too to make it fair.

53 NYT articles by Maggie Haberman about Hillary’s emails, 48 about Benghazi, not one about Trump’s mafia ties or Epstein. Tells you everything you need to know. www.citjourno.org/maggie3

military has the country wide economic despair its always wanted

How does employer access to prisoners’ labor through work release impact the well-being of those workers & of free workers? New working paper by Sue Helper, Suresh Naidu, Akseli Palomaki, Adam Reich, + me provides evidence, focus on auto manufacturing in AL #EconSky papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

If i was paying someone 1,000,000,000,000, I would expect them not to be rage-baited on the website they own

listening to CT state attorney general who thinks it quaint they can go pheasant hunting with republican AGs as if its not psychotic that the only thing you have in common is the desire to kill something

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Schumer thinks politics is the visibility of rhetoric He thinks getting republicans on the record of voting against ACA is a victory Cause he doesn’t care about the actual provisioning of healthcare Cause he’s both stupid and vile The worst combination

if it turns out Democrats “negotiated” a “deal” that allows DONALD TRUMP to SEND OUT CHECKS WITH HIS NAME ON THEM I think we would have to seriously investigate the possibility that chuck schumer is a GOP manchurian candidate and the code word that activates him is “ballroom”

both local police and federal health ministry gave approval i dont understand this

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

The left will call you a racist and sometimes advocate their small college not give you a megaphone. The right will own the entire means of production and blacklist you from artistic employment. Tell em which is cancel culture

Everything we know about non urban America is thanks to the government paying thousands of people to go out into the boondocks and interview and record basically random people As much of our music and lore preserved as possible

Norway had Akershus castle for fusillading the quislings We should start location scouting a similar venue

Democrats not ready to have the truth and reconciliation conversation Cause calling for the unmasking and trials of ICE is easy Calling for the trial of Blinken for crimes against humanity is just as necessary

Foreign affairs? Literally choke on my dick. A passport is the main federal form of identification used for 90% of domestic affairs If you don’t want to bring your one and inky birth certificate, you use passport at post office, dmv, social security, domestic flights (now), etc.

This is using AI to get around Shelley v kraemer. A business could put a camera out front to get around the Civil Rights Act.

I’m being very normal about this….

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Socialism: our style is impetuous, our defense is impregnable. we want to win hearts and minds, we want to feed your children (for free at school). praise be to Allah

if democrats had anyone other than schumer and jeffries at the helm, they would set 2025 up into 1994 style Democrat Revolution by offering nationwide Green New Deal platform going into 2026 midterms, same way gingrich took '93 new york Trump and republicans are WAY more vulnerable than Clinton

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

"If Republicans want a return to political influence in America's dynamic economic and cultural powerhouses, they're going to have to learn how to appeal to the complex folkways of urban dwellers"

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

49-41 is too close for me i can't handle this

Athens doesn’t produce math anymore but people still think of it as eureka city. Think Cheney, rest in piss, would’ve been able to convince America to bomb and invade Greece? Think Fox News would call them marble monkeys?

I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste. sufficienttotheday.substack.com/p/the-federa...

@mgraber1.bsky.social reviews Justice Barrett’s book: “By presenting judging as a realm of pure law, insulated from politics, the justices offer a picture so implausible that it makes the opposite claim—that judging is nothing but politics—more credible.”

It’s gonna be a good day today

i refuse to feel bad for ben shapiro he wrote a book explicitly predicated on a faustian agreement that the Right will eradicate the vermin of society understanding the vermin to be queers, atheists, antizionists, and communists, and them understanding a bit broader categorization

“Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”

In a stunning twist, the American military has shown itself more than willing to execute civilians for no reason whatsoever

Media needs to stop saying “alleged drug runner” because a statement with no evidence does not meet the standard of an allegation The “alleged pedophiles at the New York Times” is not credible if I don’t even know who’s on the editorial board

Hamas are saints for keeping this one sided ceasefire going Give them nobel peace prize for their gandhi-like restraint in the face of dozens slaughtered by israel

There will be no reckoning for Cuomo or the people (NYT editors) who have engaged in the rankest most bog standard racism over the past few days. Cuomo will lose the election, but will remain rich and platformed Everyone else will remain employed and continue to poison America

My sister went from West Point to USU med school. I love her. She doesn’t deserve to be paid before SNAP

im fine with all platner discourse except those saying he should drop out that's not for social media to decide, that's for maine to decide that's what a primary is for if you don't want him to run for senator in the general, be an adult and endorse one of his democratic opponents

lmao there's a certain someone on here who is going to crash out so hard today I on the other hand am totally vindicated! no wrongdoing 😏

the worst chickenshit in American history www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

that's simply not how a fucking ceasefire works!!! words have meaning peace is not something you turn on and off www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today it’s Kat. Tomorrow it could be any one of us. This administration wants to rob us of our empathy - to make us afraid to fight for one another.
