Hater of fascists and opponent of every single thing Trump will do.

Ken Paxton just rolled out his big “affordability agenda.” He owns 15 homes across the country worth over $9 million. His government salary? $153,000. How the hell did he pull that off? My guess: bribes or kickbacks. 🤨

Jeffrey Masson, in charge of the Freud Archives, addressed this at the beginning of the 1980s and there was a huge and malicious backlash because Freudianism was still a thing, but in the end he kind of won because Freudianism isn't such a thing now and we recognize that csa is widespread.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

when arday was hired, cambridge had five black professors. does that sound like an institution in thrall to DEI? does that sound like an institution that's handing out jobs to black academics?

Anyway the rejection of “Woke 1” is a classic Democratic move: fighting the last war, and learning the wrong lesson from it. It’s coming from the idea that cultural concerns drove the 2024 election; they didn’t, but even if they did, there’s little reason to think this is a winning message in 2026.

When we talk about "civil rights," it's important to keep in mind that the right of women and girls to access the public sphere without being subjected to sexual violence or harassment is usually considered less important than the free speech rights of men to harass them.
