I'm not posting videos for a couple more days.

Things have been a bit worse than I've shared publicly (I'm ok!) so I'm trying to give myself time. I'm also chipping away at a reaction piece that I'll likely publish in a few days.

I'll still be doing my usual livestream tomorrow. :)

Thanks all!!

Maybe the conflict will stop if they offer up Trump, Hegseth and Rubio as reparations.

This is why giving credit to Tucker Carlson is so dangerous.

He sucks people in with his anti-Israel views & conspiracy theories. Then he sells them on his white nationalism (and also pushes them towards extremism with guests like Nick Fuentes). Then Musk amplifies.

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

9/10 times when you go to a transphobes profile to see what other "women's issues" they are passionate about, like equal pay measures or abortion rights, the answer is that they dgaf about those things and often they're even advocating against them

one of the many frustrating things about "studying" pronatalism, as I sort-of do, is that the truth of what's going on is incredibly obvious to people - especially women - with eyes and ears, but nonetheless it appears we are going to be having this conversation forever

I have consistently, since term 1, used the "family annihilator" framing when discussing the MAGA movement. Once you realize it, it's impossible to miss seeing it in everything they do.
