If I could wave a magic wand and make Royce White president of everything, I would. This man is wise. He is brave. He presents his religiosity in a way that inspires me (an atheist) to be a more moral person. It says a lot about how messed up we are as a culture that he has to fight an uphill battle to be heard by the powers-that-be.
This newsletter is sometimes searingly difficult to read. As a mother, very little frightens me more than to lose my child to a cult-like community which feeds them lies and alienates them from those who love them. These parents live that horror-show every day. You will learn the very dark reality behind the PR bullshit that tells kids they can change their sex.
Ashley Rindsberg is doing the work that corporate journalists are afraid or too dumb to do. As a former newspaper person, and someone who grew up in love with the idea of telling the truth, I have an almost personal animosity toward our current craven media. Ashley's work is the antidote. It's important. Read it.
Back before I was politically homeless, when I was just a regular liberal-statist gal, I was skeptical of Glenn Greenwald. Then the world went crazy, and I noticed that he stayed true to his anti-security state beliefs. To the point that he was willing to cross over into "right-wing" territory to expose corruption and wrong-doing that the liberals were no longer interested in. Basically, I like and trust anyone willing to debate and find common ground with their ideological opponents.
I am old enough to remember what a big deal the show Father Ted was to young, liberal, Irish people. That the show's creator now devotes his life to exposing violent misogyny in the "trans" community goes to show that he's not just a comic genius, he's brave and a man of integrity. His newsletter is not funny, alas, because this material is dark. But it's necessary. Thank you Graham.
