it's two things, to me:
1) trans rights matter because trans people matter and deserve rights, not just because failing to stand for trans rights is a bellwether for inauthentic progressivism more broadly
2) if you can't be trusted on trans rights you can't be trusted on anything

We need to prosecute white collar crime in the US with utter ruthlessness and zeal. One of the reasons we’re here (pick the “here” hellscape you prefer) is because we not only socially but legally accepted elite impunity.
Just gonna bang the drum again about Trump's money laundering history. There's a pretty clear pattern here going back 30+ years involving repeated fines, closed accounts, etc. It may actually be their longest running grift.
Trump bank accounts were closed due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says
The court filing is tied to a lawsuit filed against Capital One by one of Trump’s financial holding companies shortly after he was sworn into office a second time.

If you do not know enough to hate and reject a Nazi mass murderer and eugenicist, your ethics are inadequate for running a major publication
After The Economist’s interview with Elon Musk, will major media finally reassess how they cover the fascist billionaire?
As its editor-in-chief did the rounds saying she was “not a Musk hater,” he was on X calling her a traitor to the West and suggesting she be murdered. Please, have some dignity.

This take is incredibly stupid. MAHA is Ye Olde Patent Medicine Show. Complete with all the traditional conspiracy theories, evangelical religion only when convenient, woo, retrograde gender roles, and grifts.
A lot of people in public health believe that MAHA is “nothing more than a subversive anti-vaccine, anti-science syndicate,” but the movement is an opportunity that the public-health sector “cannot afford to squander,” Craig Spencer argues:

The field must swallow its pride and admit where the insurgent movement is right.
