The people who believe that throwing trans people under the bus is a "winning" strategy are not only inhumane and wack but they are also deluded.

Okay. I was already having a fucking week, but I finally made myself watch Anora, and I can’t sit on this anymore: Baker stole the characters, setting, themes, and tone from a tiny sex worker-made production I was in in 2015, and which was shared with him in 2016 to solicit his advice.

Whenever Janice Raymond comes up (so rarely anymore, thank god!) I remember her not-so-subtle insinuation that trans people were invented by Nazis b/c the first trans surgeries were "performed in Germany in the 1930's." That the Nazis burned that institute to the ground didn't make it into her book.

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.

With alt text. Also, these aren't antics. These are public threats to another country's sovereignty by the Secretary of Homeland Security. We keep treating it like a joke because to your average American the idea of invading Canada seems ridiculous. They're not laughing.

Hi Senator. Thanks for joining Bluesky. Can you use this space to explain why you're pushing a bill to remove Section 230, which would make it close to impossible for Bluesky to exist? www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

just wanna remind everyone that if trans and queer youth hadn't spoken out over the last several years, terrible legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would currently be in effect, and the Trump administration would be actively weaponizing it for censorship. the work we do matters.

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

It cannot be emphasized enough that Andrew Cuomo - IN ADDITION TO BEING A SEXUAL PREDATOR - hid a massive number of COVID deaths in nursing homes. Governing isn't just press conferences.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

it's been really weird how much stuff about Trump seems to ignore the fact that he was president before, and with Cuomo re-emerging I am starting to wonder if in like 2022 a huge portion of Americans just decided to forget 2016 - 2021. like. just straight up decided not to remember those years

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

This is why sex workers should be embraced by the left. No other group has learned to survive this far outside established systems of support — banking, funding, social media, legacy media, law enforcement. They're the first person you want on a quest.

If news workers start to flee WaPo and LAT, I hope they won't just do the honorable mass resignation letters (although those can be useful comms tools). Ideally, the best course of action is to sabotage the organization on the way out. If it's compromised, permanently damage its credibility.
