I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

In case I sound like I'm talking theory here: People don't hate us because we have a medical condition that they just don't understand, they hate us because we fail to perform the roles of "man" or "woman" as designated and threaten the whole system of labor extraction / reproduction by existing.

They will blame Trans people. They will blame Muslims. They will blame the Left. But this is on the establishment Dems, and the white people who refuse to get past their racism, and the cis-het people who refuse to get past their bigotry. This is on white supremacy and those who collaborate with it.

The only thing that surprised me this morning is how powerless I *didn't* feel. Everywhere I look I see resilience. Defiance. We are bloody and battered, but I'm meeting your gaze today and we are clear-eyed. 2016 broke so many of us. 2024 and beyond? We do the breaking. Let's go to work.

The Conservative disinformation machine is working overtime to convince leftists that Kamala hates trans people. It’s a fucking lie. Let them waste their money. They want you not to vote. They want you not to engage. Tell them to fuck off. I’m voting for Harris, and you should too.

failing to vote because you don't like the system is like refusing to tip waitstaff because you think minimum wage ought to be raised. it's a personal exercise, somewhere between ablution and masturbation, and the kid serving you lunch still goes home hungry.

Some people believe that not voting for Kamala will somehow punish Democratic leadership when it will actually punish abortion seekers, LGBTQ people, immigrants and their families, and, yes, anti-war activists
