Sports make women "less deferential and less oriented toward motherhood and traditional female graces" says a new conservative proposal to functionally dismantle Title IX.

Next step: child marriage as a federally protected "right." All the years of crying "protect the children" and the conservative movement has landed at, "Actually, teen pregnancy is good if it produces more (white) offspring." @jillfilipovic.bsky.social for @slate.com slate.com/news-and-pol...

Abstinence-only education is a proven disaster. But the new plan is somehow even more dangerous.

A Pew study of Americans over age 50 who didn't have children found that a major reason was because they didn't find the right partner. "If we want more babies, we need more men women are willing to have babies with." @jillfilipovic.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

Conservatives tend to blame women for declining fertility. They’re wrong.

Graham Platner’s candidacy is dividing Democrats. AOC’s headscarf fueled a right wing meltdown, but there’s more to the story. The UK banned Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur for their speech. What does liberalism look like in this moment? www.throughline.news/p/what-princ...

The most important piece I've read this year, up with similarly important works by @jillfilipovic.bsky.social, @pennyred.bsky.social, and Dale Beran analyzing different aspects of this same culture shift.

During a recent focus group of 20 Gen Z Republicans conducted by a conservative think tank, a subset of participants were asked to share their thoughts on Hitler. Only one responded with outright criticism. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oYuJBh

Women are not protected: not by living in liberal states, not by having the money to cross state lines, and, given the impact of abortion bans on women who are miscarrying, not even by not having elective abortions.

We were told that Roe fueled the culture wars and that returning the abortion question to the states would bring reasoned debate, a democratic process, and then stability. Instead the anti-abortion movement has created nothing but chaos and confusion. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Yes, @jillfilipovic.bsky.social appropriately sums up the current Fed Soc "conservative" Supreme Court. Note, they are just radical and extremist, what they are has nothing whatsoever to do with "conservatism".

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Friday’s federal appeals decision on the abortion pill mifepristone sends a clear message, Jill Filipovic writes in a guest essay: “No woman in America, no matter where she lives, has total control over whether to continue or end a pregnancy.”

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

Marking our 250th year by having the British King visit to remind us about the development of the rule of law, while the president reads lines presumably written by Stephen Miller about the transcendent nobility of the mythic English blood.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Here's a transcript of this portion of Trump's speech. Startling to see such unabashed, settler colonial blood and soil stuff being spoken from a WH podium in the 21st century. FWIW, roughly 20% of the population of the colonies in 1776 was comprised of enslaved people of African descent.

Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea. For nearly two centuries before the revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride, and that's what it is: glory, destiny, and pride. The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true. In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea, but the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic. Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right. American patriots today can sing, "My country 'tis of thee / Sweet land of liberty," only because our colonial ancestors first sang "God save the King."

We hear a lot about loneliness epidemics, too much stress, too much time on screens, too little time with other people, too much work and not enough creation. One antidote: Travel to a magical place with a small group of people. Write. Move your body. Make lasting friendships.
