In times like these, I hope my perspective can help, as a recovering addict who went through jails, institutions, and homelessness. That is to say, sometimes all evidence points to the end of everything, that you’re totally fucked, but it turns around if you can keep fighting. So keep fighting.

I think a thing that bothers me is that when someone criticizes the trans movement for say not being willing to listen to opposing viewpoints I think it's important to be clear as to what those viewpoints are and what compromising on said viewpoints would entail.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to high-info voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

I am handling all this by myself as I did with my mommy. If you can donate and share that’d be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to get him from the morgue as quickly as possible. Where he was found is not who he was. I was told he was badly decomposing when they found his body. I’m enraged.

Resharing this clip in light of news today. Netanyahu has been trying to initiate a first strike against Iran for decades on the presumption that he could successfully drag the US into a war with Iran. And because Trump is a 10 IQ baby-brained impotent man-child, he walked right into it.

Historically successful civil rights movements whose gains are also increasingly coming under fire in the US because the reactionary wing is going full scorched-earth. We've seen this with MeToo 'going too far', or even 'CRT gone wild'. Stop legitimizing right-wing framing as normal politics.

this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was surrounded by black people.

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”

You know when you were a kid and you watched Star Wars for the first time and you were like "wait, so these droids... What's up with them? I guess i have to not think about it if I want to enjoy this..." These people watched it and said "I like slavery, actually. That would be good"

What’s really telling about it is in countries where the establishment left/liberal/centre hasn’t bowed to conservative talking points on trans people, there hasn’t been that public shift.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /
