I strongly believe in a true abundance agenda: -Open borders (goods + people) -UBI funded by land value taxes -Zoning Reform -Gov't investment in renewable energy I think this agenda could make the country more prosperous with minimal market disruption/redistribution It polls at probably 12%

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his sincerely held antislavery views

So there's a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster in the works. 1. FFT is possibly the finest tactical game ever made. 2. I really, really hope they don't censor the religious content. The game has possibly the deepest and most nuanced takes on religion I've ever seen in a game.

While in principle we need a federal entity tasked to remove criminals unlawfully residing here, ICE as presently constituted is just a criminal gang. Best to burn it down and start over.

This is obscene. We don't have to live like this. And we don't have to die like this.

Worth noting that ICE is now cribbing tactics from Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik youtu.be/eEhpYvBgkPk

There’s a number of programs where prisoners train helper dogs and they’re really efficient: pets make a big difference in any institution, including prisons and old people’s homes. They’re denied to prisoners because so much of the US attitude in particular is about willful cruelty, not justice.

Ah, yes, the inevitable moment where TERFs turn out to be SWERFs as well (it also happens the other way). This sort of bigotry has been a blight on feminism since the first wave. It's imperative that feminists who are rightly repulsed by TERFism/SWERFism speak out!

This is a really good point. (It's from a discussion abt leftists who refused to vote for Harris because of her shortcomings. And, to be fair, she had some major shortcomings. But you gotta fight where the battle lines are, you can't just wish a more progressive electoral environment into existence)

On International Whores' Day, I found out that my 19-year-old son's girlfriend's parents are forbidding her from coming to my house to visit with him because they did a deep dive, found my writing, and think I'm a corrupting force. Sex work stigma impacts every part of my life.

On June 2nd, 1975, 100 sex workers gathered at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded an end stigma, criminal penalties and police harassment. They hung a banner which read ‘Our children don’t want their mothers to go to jail’ That was when International Sex workers' Day started.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I think there's a difference between letting someone into your political coalition and, say, letting them into your hearts. Not trusting these regretful Trump voters is certainly your prerogative, but we've gotta figure out a way to get at least some of these people to vote for Dems.

Stephen Miller wants to turn daily life into scenes of terror and I hope he goes to The Hague for it.

Important study, some of which confirms what we already know: Work requirements reduce access to benefits Even among people who are working People in poor health are disproportionally affected What we did not know: The effects are hard to undo. Once you kick people off, they are gone.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

This is horrifying in its own right, so I hesitate to bring US politics into the discussion, but remember: Project 2025 calls for jailing all creators of "pornography" and forcing them to register as sex offenders. Here's a preview of what that looks like!

ICE is punishing immigrants for following the law because, when immigrants very sensibly stop showing up for court hearings, it bolsters the regime's claim that all immigrants are criminals Same reason ICE deprives detainees of soap. It bolsters claims that they're filthy
