Sounds like Sharia law

Enter any history classroom and I guarantee students are going to learn about all of those dictators. The issue is that people on social media only know Hitler so that is just going to get repeated ad nauseum.

I really think local governments, in particular, should try to focus on the fundamentals of delivering necessary public services rather than trying to think up new problems to take on. washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07…

Unfortunately NPR became so intensely partisan that even many Democrats couldn’t stand listening to it. And if you want to be publicly funded media you can’t lose the public. theamericansaga.com/p/republicans-…

Never forget: women can't know for sure they're women unless they've had their chromosomes checked, but if a man says he's a woman he's definitely a woman and it is highly offensive to mention his chromosomes, which are entirely irrelevant to whether or not a person is a woman.

The entire FTC conference on “gender-affirming care” for minors is now available to watch. Link ⬇️

Good lord. This story really snowballs by the end. Therapy world may be the hardest hit sector in this crazy era. Totally unsurprising as it’s dominated by progressive women.. What a disaster

Tamara Pietzke lost two jobs and has been harassed by the State of Washington because she naively assumed that a therapist at a gender clinic should investigate the underlying reasons why a young girl identified as a "wounded male dog". We can all relate to the disorientation…

Superman isn't an immigrant. He is an orphan. The fact they can spend $300 million on a film and can't get this very basic concept correct really is something.

Imagine a gay man in a conservative town, yelled at, his one-man show boycotted, and then canceled. His free speech rights weren't violated. People just thought he was an asshole. And they showed him the door. This smug xkcd cartoon is supporting groupthink and conformity.

The Supreme Court's questioning on youth gender medicine has provided "uncomfortable insight into how advocacy groups and medical associations have tamped down their own concerns about its evidence base," @helenlewis writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I have so much appreciation for @helenlewis and @TheAtlantic for this article. Link below ⬇️

I've been concerned about this for years. It's really, really bad! Glad to see Helen and The Atlantic covering it. It's impossible to have these discussions when folks don't share the same reality when it comes to the state of the evidence. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I fervently believe all kids can learn. I believe it so passionately that I think schools should test all kids and then teach them where they’re at rather than dragging them through classes in which few learn what they could We have barely begun to imagine what kids can learn

Got my Regents results today. 70% passing, probably my highest ever, lots in the 80s. Was shooting for 90% but at a school with mass attendance issues, that's really hard. Lot of the fails came close and will probably pass in the summer.

Attention all men telling me I look like a trans woman: I’m sensing that this isn’t meant as a compliment. In fact, the implication seems to be that trans women look male, or odd, or ugly. This is appallingly transphobic and I’ll thank you to take your bigotry off my timeline.

Hot take: When newly independent African nations were seizing mines and farms in the name of "the people," Botswana's leaders looked at the same playbook and said: "No thanks." They partnered 50/50 with De Beers instead of kicking them out.  They let mining experts run…

What a difference a few years makes.

2/ Everyone knew this was a mistake for years. Seriously. I'm not particularly tied into legal circles and I heard about it. It was just a disastrous misstep by people who will continue to be feted and well-paid as civil rights heroes. Nothing is their fault, ever.
