the thing about social constructions is they're often way more durable and difficult to change than physical reality

Dems have a real opportunity to portray Trump as wasting resources picking up Moms and constructions workers rather than going after real criminals
Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown.
If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/

Stephen Miller Erupts in Fury over Low Arrests—and Hands Dems a Weapon
Hitting Miller’s new deportation quotas could mean fewer resources to fight child trafficking, terrorism, and other crimes. Do Americans really want that?

Gender AND sex are constructions!
Stop using bad science to exclude people!

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

It's pretty amazing to watch in real time as 78 year old Donald Trump has the realization, for the first time in his life, that national boundaries are historical and social constructions.
Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."

it wasn't long ago that most TERFs were just doing "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina," but as each definition falls under some light scrutiny, so they retreat into narrower and narrower constructions

So, tangentially. Particular constructions (of sentences, phrases, etc) don't have particular effects because of the inherent nature of those constructions. They have particular effects depending on the context in which they are read.

Generally speaking with sentence constructions like this, you can just ignore everything said before the word "but".
‘I make all my art myself, but I use AI to—‘
So, you don’t. You don’t make it all yourself. That’s like saying, ‘I’m not a racist, but.’
I’m going to hold your hand while I say this: If you use it at all, you’re using it. That’s how verbs work.

there are few worse/lazy headline constructions than “tensions flare as ____” because it answers zero questions.
who’s tense? who’s making them flare? what’s the difference between each side’s ways of expressing their tension? who has more power in the situation?

need one of those german train-car noun constructions for ‘the sense of betrayal a woman suffers when a thinker who was hugely influential to her turns out to be the same bog standard worthless misogynist as everyone else’
“That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder."

Il n'y a aucune entrée irrégulière puisque personne n'est illégal et que les frontières sont des constructions historiques coloniales, impérialistes et racistes.
