I had to look up 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. It means lying or dishonest, or in other words, "of or relating to certain men."

Is this what the FTC does? I thought they approved the safety of things manufactured in this country. Don’t you mean the anti-trust people?

TY for this warning. Now that they're learning to scream "Cass Report!" every time their "science" gets challenged, guys like this charmer in posts like the NATIONAL one he wants pose an added danger.

I live in one of those blue sanctuary states that put on its Trump prophylactic awhile ago, but I know we're not truly safe. It's time to mobilize around just this sort of fuckery.

I think that to-do list can be summed up in part as "End Lina Khan's politically motivated investigations and start politically motivated investigations that I'm interested in."

We need to subtly change the screenshot to say

Terminate all initiatives investigating so-called "disinformation", "hate speech", or AI "bias". If you ask an AI model to give you a picture of a pedophile and all the pictures are priests, ministers or Jim Jordan, IT IS NOT BIASED.

There must be some such substitution for each point on this list.

"Reverse the FTC's efforts at ending online anonymity?"

So, I guess he's not planning on trying to overturn state laws that want to require you to upload a photo ID to make an internet account. I'm guessing he only wants "online anonymity" for corporations.

Trans people are like 1% of the population. If doctors are over diagnosing it to make bank, they’re doing a terrible job.

There’s just no end to “lawmaking to satisfy personal grudges, biases, and to garner media attention”, is there? And Ken Paxton can fuck all the way off.

As an average white guy I can't understand the intensity of opposition to "woke" a term that most people can't even define. From my armchair it looks like an attempt to recreate Jim Crow without calling it Jim Crow.

These people are amazing. They bleat about "politically motivated investigations" and, in the very next breath, promise to distort the law to victimize trans people.

NOT JUST TRANS PEOPLE.

They are literally trying to get rid of ALL equal rights protections.

They've been trying to get rid of the "disparate impact" analysis for YEARS.

Hypocrisy has to be like a drug that gets them high or something. There is no other explanation that makes any sense ... because they pursue hypocrisy like an addict jonesing for his next hit.

Dominance psychology is a dopamine hit like one from cocaine

The hypocrisy is in service of white supremacy
