“Right wing posters influence things and that’s the problem” Ok but why are they algorithmically elevated and not suppressed? Why are people primed to receive their message and not reject it? Why are politicians not meaningfully pushing back against their desires but instead adopting them?

a lot of people do not hate men, they hate trans men in specific. A lot of people nodding sagely along to memes like "trans men are the men of lgbtq people" are perfectly fine loving and dating and listening to cis men, trans men are just the acceptable target practice for sexists

remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children

I'd like to thank the Democratic Party for today's decision. Without their feckless, cowardly refusal to stick up for trans people without question or hesitation even in words, they played a vital role in wielding the power of the state to harm my child specifically. I'll never forget it, gang!

Today is a real bad day for trans folks. Lots of us are already struggling under the constant mental and emotional strain of being the target of international hate campaigns for years now, and it ain't getting easier Support us, now more than ever. Emotionally, financially, politically. We need it

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

Hard to come to any other conclusion except that nuclear parity is a necessary component to counterbalancing the most irrational regional hegemon on the planet which has the backing of the most irrational world superpower. If you are Egypt, Turkey, Saudi, and yes Iran, you should get the bomb.

If your idea of disability justice doesn't include Palestinians being bombed, amputated, and denied care in Gaza, it's not justice. It's branding. You can't be "intersectional" while ignoring colonial violence. Free Palestine, always and forever.

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness. Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder. Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

it should go without saying but you really cannot run a country, or really any organization, like this. you cannot lurch wildly from pole to pole every four years or every four days. you cannot rip up deals and seek deals and then blow up the people you were seeking to re-deal with. doesn't work

We’ve got McBride in appeasement mode at the NYT, talking about how marriage equality is a blueprint for how we should approach trans rights. Many queers didn’t want marriage equality as a priority, but Tim Gill and other millionaires overrode that because marriage was what they wanted to push.

Sarah McBride did a 90 minute interview with Ezra Klein (NYT) on trans rights. I'm only partway in, but she's already spent most of the time saying we should compromise with the far right and lecturing trans activists for talking too much about the material harms facing our communities.

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating. Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend more time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

This is beautiful: denied art supplies, incarcerated artist Juan Hernandez learns to make his own canvasses, and then creates an instructional zine to teach others to do the same. "As the Illinois prison system continues to take away resources from us, we must find creative ways to undo their harm."
