Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

Me, making my way out of the bank vault, my skin-tight jumpsuit embroidered with the word “gay” over and over again: “take that, security footage!”

I know this is absurd, but the propaganda works in because of the absurdity rather than in spite of it. While this quote is about antisemitism, it readily applies to most forms of bigotry.

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. Now is the time to speak up.

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees. Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry. Hello?

this spring's byelection is particularly important because we can't allow ABC to rule this city with impunity, without any oppositional voices to counter their billionaire-driven agenda fortunately, byelections tend to have low turnout, so each vote matters a whole lot

For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, he’s been saying it for a while but much of our political press wasn’t paying attention:

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Here is the letter I wrote to COPE supporters: Vancouver doesn’t have to be like this. I love Vancouver, but I hate what it’s become. The city is a playground for the 1%. Our social fabric is fraying from a housing system that prioritizes return on investment over human needs.

A lot of people reply to moments like this by saying “they won’t stop with trans people” but…what if they do? That doesn’t make this less violent and evil. While you may not be intending to say so, there is an underlying implication there that the real violence is still to come. And that’s not ok.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos' investment in Trump is paying off.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

The harm that's being done literally right now as major hospital systems in the US shut this care down is not coming from any study, review, or science--its coming from a President that demanded it because he believes trans people are, in his own words, a "mutilated" "contagion"

If you think that trans people are getting our rights ripped away "because the left went too far," you're a moron. Everything happening to us today was written up and planned by the Family Research Council in 2015. The document is still public. It's all there. www.frc.org/transgender#...

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico. No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.” This is Trump’s America.

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.
