There’s gotta be a German word for the cursed experience of reading the Fulton County affidavit after reporting on the 2020 election in extreme detail. Even redacted, every niche witness jumps out—many conspiracy theorists with no real expertise. The US government treating them as credible is nuts.

Democracy dies in the darkness, because that's when the billionaire vampires come out to feast.
1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy.
2. Don’t establish other revenue sources.
3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right.

as @ezrayoung.bsky.social has written, until recently it was entirely unremarkable for the most conservative jurists to use the preferred pronouns and names of trans litigants going back decades. hate poisoned shitheads making basic respect controversial is new.
US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone.
And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

The House passing an anti-trans medical bill yesterday and the Department of Health and Human Services announcing new rules for gender affirming care for youth means that a tough year for trans people ends on an even more difficult note.
Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.
“Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.”
