“men will start entire wars to avoid going to therapy” is a prevalent theme throughout history and probably a hint from the universe that it’s time to go matriarchal

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

It's a huge deal. I heard about the efforts to do this a few months ago and it made me sick to my stomach. I'm so sad about everything right now.

Damn that's some good resistance art

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Me and my mil doing our small part in yesterdays No Kings protest (Connecticut). I feel like this is the first of many for me going forward.

My small effort to throw sand in the gears of this Fascist movement. I will be at the No Kings protest tomorrow in Connecticut. Please stand up in your home town if you can.

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

The Federal military being deployed little by little into our our states *for reasons, aren't going to leave, are they?

I wish elected members of Congress would stop using the phrase "we are 'slipping' into Authoritarianism"...We. Are. Here. And this country is a gd tinder box.

Isn't this already happening?

But it is

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

"The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee...Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said."

Men are too emotional to hold positions of power

Best Thursday I've had in years. Zoom meeting today - I'm watching people check their phones on the sly. In unison. Crazy simulation we are in.

Thank you so much for this beautiful poem. It's lovely and I will share it with my son.

My oldest son. About 14yrs old and a gifted pianist (still is). Jurists from Europe came to the states to judge competitions that he was in and said that he should go to Julliard School. He didn't go there but did graduate from Fairfield University in Ct. Still plays piano, banjo and paints. ❤️

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.
