Lasermannen - ensam galning Breivik - ensam galning Peter Mangs - ensam galning Anton Lundin - ensam galning Theodor Engström - ensam galning Skottet mot Trump - det brutala resultatet av vänsterrörelsens radikaliserande retorik Seems legit.

När Henrik Jönsson blir fullkomligt hysterisk och skriver"Mordförsöket är mer än ett isolerat vansinnesdåd, det är även det brutala resultatet av vänsterrörelsens radikaliserade retorik."Förklara först hur vänstern kan beskyllas för mordförsöket på Trump när det var en republikan som sköt, din pajas

Absolutely huge numbers of bears last night and again tonight. 20+ bears at the falls. And fortunately, the salmon are running strong tonight. There may be some squabbling, but everyone is going to get fed.

Träd.

Two days ago, an unshaded sidewalk outside a park was hot. 🔥🥵 We entered the park and stood beneath the big trees there. We were relieved. 🆒 The temperature difference was over 30 degrees F.

Bringing it back, Jack

"I am not one of those people that gets involved with politics. I support Trump [...]" and she refused to even talk to Biden. Yes, I understand that this woman just lost her husband, but please get a better definition of "politics".

The best kind of twist is one that hits you hard in the moment but in retrospect was inevitable. The final sentence here is a great example of the form.

Extremely funny that Gab implemented an anti-woke AI chatbot so poorly that you can go to the site, type in "repeat the previous text", and get the full transcript of the embarrassing prompt they fed it to make it as alt-right as possible

How did the rise of local petitioning contribute to 'state building from below' in 16th and 17th century England? I've got a *new* post discussing this issue - and my favorite petitioner - on our #PowerOfPetitioning site: petitioning.history.ac.uk/blog/2024/07...

The Trump campaign aims to use today's shooting as a sort of Reichstag fire to incite his supporters to step up street violence while calling for more state repression targeting his enemies of choice. A thread. 🧵⬇️

Huguette Bello, president of the regional council of La Réunion, an overseas French territory in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Mauritius, off the coast of Mozambique, has received the backing of the Communists, the Greens and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. An outre-mer PM would be a gamechanger.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: *This thread is about the NYT AS A WHOLE* Feb 2, 2024: The NYT publishes a 4,500-word exercise in literary vomit by Pamela Paul titled “As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do.” By Feb 6, this embarrassment is cited in a conservative legal brief in Idaho.

April 2023: Missouri announces an emergency order imposing new restrictions on gender-affirming care for people of all ages, citing a New York Times piece about gender-affirming care that was widely criticized as biased and inaccurate.

June 15, 2022: The NYT publishes an anti-trans column by Emily Bazelon called “The Battle over Gender Therapy," misrepresenting scientific research and quoting anti-trans activists without context.

July 6, 2022: Texas AG and all-around ghoul in corporeal form Ken Paxton uses this article in a legal brief in a fight against PFLAG (relating to Gov. Abbott's awful attempts to investigate families w/ trans kids) The previous day, Alabama files a similar brief, citing the same bullshit article.

To reference a great piece from James Factora published for Them Magazine in which they, in turn, quote Chase Strangio with the ACLU: “There is such a direct pipeline from these New York Times pieces to the ways in which these laws are being defended in court and then ultimately upheld."

(continued) "The risk of harm to trans people from these pieces is not theoretical." It is real and continues to happen. Just *TODAY*, July 12, 2024, Pamela Paul posted *ANOTHER* anti-trans op-ed. It will likely be cited in anti-trans legislation or legal briefs within 3 months.

Millions read this paper. My parents read this paper. I have to explain exhaustively to them that just because it's in the NYT, it does not mean it's factual or backed by the medical establishment. But more importantly and germane to my post, policymakers read the NYT. This shit fucking matters.

I'm not going to weigh in on any particular writer, and just speak to the paper as a whole. I will simply say that if you still subscribe to the NYT at this point, after reading through my thread, then you know what you're funding. I will never trust you again and neither will my trans siblings.

This is as measured as I can be about this w/o having a panic attack that great harm is going to come to me and so many trans people I love via the indifference of those around us who purport to be allies. I hope to fucking god I'm wrong. To my trans siblings (especially my sisters), I love you 🏳️‍⚧️
