Don’t forget (4) the inevitable yet unpredictable effects of aging on a human in their ninth decade

Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White is the person who assassinated Harvey Milk, the groundbreaking out politician who urged gay people to “come out.” Helms, the late Republican senator from North Carolina, was notoriously racist and viciously anti-gay.

This is America.

His agenda is homegrown extremism. Putin’s reactionary regime is a natural ally for people like Tucker. But when you Make it sound like Putin is calling all the shots, youre both buying into Russian propaganda and whitewashing American history

Dude is an American who has been spouting vile homophobia since before the soviet union dissolved

Apartheid regime

Right, but the supreme Court would just find that law unconstitutional. Or ignore the implicit meaning.

Fun fact: the constitution talks about supreme Court justices having immunity just as much as it talks about presidents having immunity

Yes. That’s why the government is chock full of conservatives like Thomas who like to visit reactionary capitalist countries like Russia

Holy fuck that article is sickening. The level of dehumanization it truly insane.

It makes the US in Iraq look like a humanitarian operation. Fuck, even the US in Vietnam seems like it was way more disciplined.

The state of the left in Israel, apparently:

“I, too, a rather left-wing soldier, forget very quickly that these are real homes [in Gaza],” A. said of his experience in the operations room.

They don’t need to ally. They can just drag their feet to sabotage any significant reforms and wait for the left to lose their mandate

Every warmonger to ever exist:

Naturally war is bad, but

That’s like 1-2 urban highway interchanges

Look at the article, though. IMO it looks like HHS was trying to keep quiet, navigating political pressure and recent research. It’s the NYT that decided to box the administration into this very public position. It’s effective Advocacy journalism for terfs

War bad (Unironically)

They weren’t even in trouble here! It’s just the NYT spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about one of the only openly trans US officials.

Not that it even matters, since SCOTUS gets the final say in all administrative matters now.

I wish they’d just be honest about the triangulation. “due to the political climate, we will not be following the best practices as recommended by the relevant experts”

I fear this is the start of the Democrats becoming like UK’s labour. I won’t be surprised if Levine is forced out of her position before the election, based on how the New York Terfs are centering her in this story. Until now, the NYT has mostly just focused on parents “concerns”. But now they’re setting their sights on the institutions that trans people rely on. Like the UK media did with Tavistock
