Ocasio-Cortez is going to put him in suitcases under the BQE.

Growing up I was aware of trans ppl but they weren't something you encountered outside porn. In a way that transcends rights or medical access were part of life now, and that's why they're so mad What really scares me is what happens when they realize doing culture war at us won't just undo that

We’re actually very lucky that he decided to open his second term by shooting himself in the dick on the economy because his voters (including the ones not in the cult) don’t give a shit that he’s disappearing people to El Salvadorian gulags.

People love to smear the fashion world as regressive but it's basically the only area of US public life left where trans women are visible and celebrated Fine, it's 2 models and they're both white and skinny but that's far more than anywhere else right now

It's one thing to say "He won my state and his support hasn't collapsed just yet" and keep your powder dry It's idiotic to act like it can't fall further or you'll never face a primary again

anyway;

Idt most people know how much feminizing HRT nukes your athletic ability, I benched 105lb (3x10-12 sets) after a few months of casual lifting as a dude and struggle with 65lb after 8 months of semi serious training now If testosterone wasn't a huge cheat code people wouldnt break the law to get it!

He's like when a kid accidently says something funny and then keeps saying it hoping for the same reaction as the first time Just the saddest shit ever

political scientists remain committed to finding an issue that the acela chattering class cannot immediately use to pivot back to transgender sports and opinion polling. as hard as they tried with tariffs, they still have not succeeded

we have sacrificed democracy at the altar of hating women and I am not sure I will ever get over that

Fleetwood Macs third album Then Play On is a masterpiece, A+ psychedelic rock, ASHAMED id never heard it before

calling trump “orange”? kinda cringe but whatever calling it “orange monday” thereby forcing future generations of economists to explain why its called that? absolutely hilarious

bull market implies the existence of a cuck market... long hypothesized... until now

maybe I can stop seeing this stupid, fake savvy post on Instagram for a couple years at least:

The 21st century is like a continuous playing out of a WWI-generation type leadership failures. Just constantly sleepwalking into unforced errors, avoidable catastrophes, mismanaged crises.

very clear at this point that the much-maligned idea the "adults in the room" prevented Trump I from being worse is...100 percent vindicated

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

What does "tech bro" even mean to people like this

If in 2025 you’re still doing sneering ‘heh, look at these cringe wine mom protestors’ type shtick I can’t think of any reason anyone should listen to you

Not to discount the cowardice necessarily, but I feel like a more coherent Theory of Biden is that he decided who he trusted in the world 35 years ago and refused to update his priors on that. Trusted Israel, "good republicans", distrusted Russia. He often took brave positions!

I think adulthood needs a big propaganda push. We need more media about people who are basically content with their jobs and love their families. An adult should be a desirable thing to be.

My take is that there's a really awful conflation between the need for the broad left to be more open to people like this--who don't really get it, but have the value set--and the need to be more open to people who understand trans people and want them to die or go back in the closet.

A coworker (older, immigrant, religious) who doesn't appear to know the difference between trans women and gay men was appalled they're "going after kids who just want to be themselves" Everyone's gawking at the immigrants who thought he'd only deport the "bad ones" but people like her exist too!

One thing you notice as a feminist is that feminism gets linked to, and implicitly blamed, for every malignant political force or failure. Feminism becomes a collaborator with empire, a driver of neoliberalism, a motivator for the carceral state. Malignant and all powerful, yet never defined.

More generally, "people thought the status quo was so strong they could support whatever dumb bullshit made the nerds mad and it would never bite them" is key to understanding how we got here

I can't get over how *gay* the hard right is, they're always begging for a daddy dom to punish them, there's so much *gender* to the whole thing It's gay the way the Village People were

The future of the Democratic Party should be trans rights and trans Pacific partnerships.
