Periodic reminder that if you are arguing with people on the Internet right now, take literally any other form of action right now. Make a donation, give to a fundraiser, sign up for a shift, show up to that thing you said you don't have time to show up for, whatever. Do literally anything else.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

Neither trans people nor immigrants are the problem. We’re an excuse politicians use to not have to tackle real issues like the economy and infrastructure, climate change, and geopolitics.

I'm gonna be a broken record about it. Feeling down? Do something. Feeling helpless? Do something. Feeling scared? Do something. (Yes, yes, yes, do what you need to not burn out, and to make life worth living / keep culture alive and vibrant.) Action empowers. It refreshes. It builds community.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

"There should be room for those conversations" — OK but why isn't there room for pointing out that it's a moral panic utterly devoid of evidence

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

Stopping Trump's anti-trans policies: There are things individuals can do today, things state and local officials could enact immediately, and things that will require a Democrat to win in 2028 to have any chance at the national level. aridrennen.substack.... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

4 executive orders now against trans people. He’s banned us from sports, the military, schools, and healthcare. Representatives are calling us slurs in Congress. So are y’all done yet? How much further do y’all plan to take this? And at what point will other people care?
