sharing the dead trump rallygoer's fucked up tweets to downplay his death is so gross. even if you think the guy had extreme views, he was still an bystander at a campaign event who got senselessly murdered. don't lower your own standards because you don't like who they're being applied to

If a Democrat had been the target of an assassination attempt, can anyone plausibly imagine a Trump statement that did not denigrate and equivocate?

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

Based on what we know so far, a Republican shot a Presidential Republican nominee and killed two Republican supporters, and the response from Democrats is to remind the public how their candidate has been attacking his own base over protests against the ongoing attack on Gaza. Do I have that right?

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

Honestly I don't know how true this is of other places, but in the UK it cannot be overstated how much the rise of Transphobia as an issue of extreme salience to politicians has been caused purely by five or six incredibly obsessive journalists who won't stop writing about it.

I'm not even sure how much of it is her being a potential donor, from looking at past tweets from Wes, it's another example of the contagion that is rapid onset transphobia that happens when you're friends with a bunch of transphobes

actually worse than a grant because it's a tax credit so completely not transparent, not verifiable, no way to determine any actual climate benefit and it's uncapped so here goes gazillions of dollars to something that mostly helps oil companies get more oil.

also can someone please explain to me how the biggest grant ever to the oil and gas industry made its way into the biggest climate bill ever? was there just not anyone working on that thing who dug into the details of CCS? because fucking yikes.

I have been working on a story about carbon capture for like three months because I keep thinking "it cannot possibly be THIS much of an absolute shit show" and figuring I must be missing something or misunderstanding something and then every new expert I talk to tells me it's even worse

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

The election doesn’t look good for Joe Biden, but don’t lose hope. I’ve heard rumors that his opponent Donald Trump, despite his squeaky-clean image, has a few skeletons in the closest of his own, and would be VERY embarrassed if certain scandalous details were to become public during the campaign
