  • The problem isn’t that tariffs are being applied. There are many reasons to apply them, such as ensuring local production remains competitive with imports. The problem is that the tariffs are being just thrown up without careful calculation of what they are trying to achieve.

    It’s not the tariffs, it’s the unhinged way in which the US is applying them right now.






  • How prevalent the use of the exact phrase ‘Your body, my choice’ is irrelevant when the intent behind it is so common in other espoused rhetoric. The fact is that too fucking many people are happy to tear up a woman’s right to self determination and force women into situations that put their lives at risk. I don’t think we can ignore any rhetoric that supports or gives cover to such attacks on a woman’s autonomy.

    At this point I would not be surprised if we started seeing feminist groups becoming armed and violent. And as much as I have a disdain for political violence, I don’t think I could condemn them for doing so.
