This theory operates under the assumption that there are a ton of anti-trans single issue voters who are otherwise liberal. It’s the stupidest idea imaginable and also the prevailing belief of the Democratic establishment.
a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

Thousands of women writing and speaking for decades with all the creativity and feeling possible about the wrongness of rape can’t make sexual violence stop or even be understood as real violence but RFK Jr croaking “beef tallow is the philosopher’s stone” has the force of policy now

If you’re a feminist you can spend your whole life grappling with the inadequacy of narrative to convey reality or summon enough political will to enact change. But if you’re a fascist you can just use narrative as a hammer to claim ownership of reality and beat material conditions into conformity.
ultimately i think the central thesis of trumpism might be true nihilism, just the absolute disdain for the idea that anything matters at all beyond winning an argument in the eyes of your supporters. there is no such thing as competence. there is only loyalty and occasionally bad press. that’s it

I am getting so many peer review requests for academic papers that are trying to predict intimate partner violence based on victims’ (specifically, women’s) behavior.
This is victim blaming! It’s also empirically inaccurate! If you want to understand perpetration, study *perpetrator* behavior!

This is why I keep saying a lot of us here will not be alive for if/when this ever gets fixed. It sucks.
It, on average, takes 25 years to fix a bad bill.
This bill destroys higher education and will for generations. Our public health and healthcare infrastructure are GONE. Generations will feel the burden of this. The entire country has changed.

Whether you call it a cut in benefits or not, an estimated 10.9 million people would lose health insurance as a result of changes to Medicaid and the ACA passed by the House. This would be the biggest rollback in federal support for health care ever.

Recessions tend to increase domestic violence because:
A. Men’s sudden job loss is a risk factor for seeking control through violence in the home
B. Victims’ difficulties accessing new employment can trap them in dangerous relationships if they lack the resources required to leave
