When online hate manifests in the real world: Cynthia Miller-Idriss on the gendered aspect of violent extremism

"We see these people who have lives that really are online. They've become detached from the rest of the world, desensitized."

This @jessicavalenti.bsky.social piece about Ezra Klein's latest wrongness is great. I particularly enjoyed this: "Since first making the argument to fellow Times columnist Ross Douthat, Klein has defended his comments to a series of additional men" jessica.substack.com/p/ez….

Abortion is a winner for Democrats—a big one. The issue has flipped red state seats, brought home ballot measure wins, and rattled the GOP so badly that they even considered losing the term 'pro-life' altogether. They know that forcing raped children to give birth and letting pregnant women go septic isn't winning them any votes: abortion bans are massively unpopular-even in red states—and 81% of Americans don't want the issue
legislated by the government at all. That's why l'm stunned that New York Times columnist Ezra Klein has quadrupled down on his argument that Democrats should run 'pro-life' candidates. To single out abortion, of all things, as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years. And in a moment when the stakes are so high-as women are literally and regularly dying-being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is
straight up dangerous. Since first making the argument to fellow Times columnist Ross Douthat, Klein has defended his comments to a series of additional men: Tim Miller at The Bulwark, David Remnick at The New Yorker, and, most recently, Ta- Nehisi Coates at the Times. And while Klein has acknowledged that he understands why "people got very upset," he continues to insist that he's
right.

The Anti-Constitutional Attack on Birthright Citizenship

Trump's executive order is not merely unconstitutional. It is an effort to perpetrate the very evils that abolitionists and Republicans sought to eradicate from our constitutional order.

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

Trump's petition asking the Supreme Court to let him officially redefine (read: rescind) birthright citizenship is now available and I wish I did not have to worry about the Supreme Court taking seriously such obviously, egregiously unserious & racist bullshit www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

@jessicavalenti.bsky.social is very right that Ezra Klein is very wrong, both morally and strategically, with this argument that throwing half the population under the bus (the half that already leans more Democratic).
