Progress in politics, and moreover, governance, is still the priority. Clearly, equality and freedom are ideas for which we still need to fight. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

@benryanwriter You’re a gift to the world, Ben. We’re all better off with your integrity, humor, and cultural lens. I’m grateful you’re still here.

@VanJones68 @ConceptualJames you see this? It's like listening to you, but through a filter that allows Democrats to hear it.

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

World War III has already begun. It’s just different from World War II.

It started long before the U.S. strikes on Iran. And it will continue long after. That’s because this is a “gray war.” Most of the time, the fight isn’t loud. It’s subtle. It runs through your phone. Algorithms are the weapons. Division is the strategy.

The main goal is to turn America on itself.

The video below connects the dots. Watch it, then decide what side of this gray war you’re on.

@ConceptualJames - I have a question in good faith here:
do you think Trump/MAGA are the divisive force? We seem to be getting more divided over the Olympics, Super Bowls, not to mention discourse and governance. Representation of the USA with the Obama vid stopping communism?

What did he say? That he's not a fan of everything going on in America? Your career has been based on criticising things going on in America. If he held your views &. criticised what you do, would he lack gratitude, honor & patriotism?

@LilaGraceRose This is 100% true. It is a betrayal of the public trust and behavior that undermines the legitimacy and stability of the republic. “Working on democracy” includes holding our duly elected public servants morally accountable.

@benryanwriter She is, Ben, and IMO, is the best source for empirically-driven economic policy knowledge presented excellently - in a way that can be understood by most.
Is this both a tribute to Jessica’s inspiration, and an opportunity for those to self-identify into earning a block, Ben?

@jaketapper It's impeachable, Jake. Alexander Hamilton described impeachable offenses as “the abuse or violation of some public trust”—a definition that easily encompasses intentionally inflaming racial divisions for political gain.

@SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin @RepMarkPocan
As your constituent, I am certain that @realDonaldTrump committed a betrayal of the constitutional order today by undermining national unity, inciting domestic conflict, and using the office to inflame racial hostility.

I love the USA. Our constitution and the principles of liberal, pluralistic democracy created a framework to improve humanity.
Black Americans are perhaps the most American Americans because their cultural continuity and ancestry were broken.
@realDonaldTrump, resign today.

@benryanwriter Like many, Ben, I appreciate how you take it from both sides to maintain your steadfast impartiality. Especially this topic which, wherever one stands ideologically, everyone should recognize that people have serious distress and should not be political fodder. U R Courageous.

BREAKING: 1st Detransitioner to Take a Medical-Malpractice Lawsuit to Trial Wins $2 Million Judgement

Fox Varian sued her Westchester, NY, area psychologist and plastic surgeon for the gender-transition mastectomy she got at 16.

I was the only reporter to attend the entire 3-week, historic trial. Subscribe to my Substack to receive an alert about the feature article I have coming out next week in a major publication out about the trial: https://t.co/dQRHZHqWHn. I cover pediatric gender medicine as a specialty on my Substack.

Sorry to just give just a teaser for now about the case! But I wanted to get the word out about the verdict promptly, the slower pace of feature-article publishing notwithstanding.

The entire case file was put under seal when the trial started (although I obtained all those documents before they was sealed), and all the transcripts from the trial are also under seal. The riveting trial was sparsely attended and there was only one other reporter at the trial; and he only attended for part of it and, as I observed, took few notes. So my own hundreds of pages of notes from the trial will likely remain the only way for the public to learn about the all finer details of what transpired, possibly ever (or until an appeal, should that happen).

In addition to my article coming out in the media outlet soon, I intend to write a lot about what I observed and learned on my Substack over the coming weeks. Stay tuned…

Hey Americans!

I love you and we're all in this together. We're not left/dem against right/rep, we're Americans. Can we respond to each other's words with grace as opposed to judgment and unite behind the principles of the 4 pages that protect us from the government?

[Kara Dansky @K_Dannsky]

Absolutely not. No.

@AGPamBondi Please take this back or resign. Now.

"Erasing women and women-specific language and needs based on their sex is not only wrong, but also demeaning, regressive and constitutes one of the worst forms of violence that women and girls can experience," @UNSRVAW Reem Alsalem told the @UN Human Rights Council.

@benryanwriter I shouldn't be alive... unless it was for a reason. I'm not crazy, City Kittens. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it's right.

"Female is real, and it's sex, and femininity is unreal, and it's gender.

For that to become the given identity of women is a profoundly disabling notion."
