If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me

This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology

The Curtains Close on the Kristi Noem Show As Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem was obsessed with cameras, and her downfall began when ICE abuses, including the killing of two American citizens, went viral.

"She will be remembered not only as the most incompetent Secretary in the department’s twenty-three-year history but also as the person who succeeded where many progressive activists had failed in discrediting much of the D.H.S.’s institutional legitimacy."

If Democrats say β€œthese are atrocities,” that would undermine their ability to sell future imperialist wars.

They would literally rather die.

The u.s. military has served at the pleasure of moneyed interests for a long time now. Their racism, their religious zealotry, their exploitation, sanctioned by our tax dollars.

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

We’re still murdering people in β€œdrug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or β€œfederalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Markwayne Mullin’s views on the value of life stop at the birth canal.

β€œIn Oklahoma, we’re not going to be killing babies.”

Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in maternal care, infant mortality, healthcare, and education. For Markwayne, once the baby is born, they’re on their own.

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

I teach zoomers in science in they are extraordinarily adept at reflection and discussions about opinions, feelings, points of view, etc. plus really willing to consider/discuss things like growth/fixed mindset etc. I feel like my cohort Gen X and boomers could never.

The media often treats Trump like some sort of Zelig-like character, a mere bystander in his own administration w/no agency or ability to shape decisions. It's really infuriating considering Biden and Obama were both expected to own everything going on in the country all the time.

Tech has long since passed the point of solving problems or even making life more convenient. It's just throwing crap against the wall to see what will stick. And now there's crap all over the floor and the wall.
