In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Just a casual reminder that Roe v Wade was about more than abortion care — it bolstered the implied constitutional right to privacy we all deserve. Without Roe v. Wade, it’s easier than ever for the government to access your medical records through its investigatory power.

Alcatraz is just another distraction. From trampling the constitution. From destroying the economy. From corrupting the government. Don’t lose the plot — they are dismantling democracy to install an authoritarian regime backed by theocratic white supremacists and techno-fascist billionaires.

I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to: I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

Some of you seem disconnected from what happens in cities across cities during the summer. Teens with no jobs or programming are sitting ducks in the mini fortresses that most of our cities are where they are harassed by cops REGULARLY for being outside.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are turning our government into their own slush fund. Attempting to cut Medicaid and Social Security, all while chopping up essential departments and agencies — just to make themselves and their friends even richer.

This disingenuous bad-faith performative ignorance is manipulation that I hold hope is as transparent to some fraction of the populace that put these evil people into power and that they will try to explain it to their indoctrinated loved ones who might listen to them. It’s a tiny tiny hope.
