"trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are valid" You know what, this isn't fucking roll call. Why don't you try "Trans people deserve dignity, autonomy, and freedom from discrimination"? "Trans people deserve access to healthcare without gatekeeping"? "Trans people matter"?

“Defund the police” was a messaging error. We should have gone with a more politically measured slogan like “THE PURPOSE OF A SYSTEM IS TO SHOOT YOUR DOG”

trans people are an incredibly small minority that is also disenfranchised politically and economically and is too scattered to be a local majority anywhere so we hold no influence. i am therefore calling for a moratorium on any cis people trying to convince any trans people of literally anything

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

"biological sex" is exclusively defined by working back from "whatever the disgusting trannies aren't".

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

They really can’t write. I’m not saying this to dunk. I’m not saying this to claim the young people are bad because we failed them, not the other way around. But they genuinely struggle to clearly and succinctly communicate concepts through the written word.

We also need to constantly address the ways that criminalization is used to render people disposable. Every response is "well I thought they would only do X to the criminals."

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

If Hegseth resigns and we get an Acting Secretary of Defense, it'll be the eighth time we've had one. One came under Nixon, a second under GHW Bush. And then we had five under Trump.

when you get down to it, one of hollywood's biggest failures over the course of a hundred plus years of movie making is that there are fewer movies about the civil war that aren't morally and historically repulsive than you can count on one hand

You know that awful shriek dogs make when someone steps on their tail? I once knew a dog who learned that if he quietly placed the fluffy part of his tail under someone's foot and shrieked, he'd get a treat. Anyway totally unrelated but I hear transphobes are still finding things to be upset about

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

I very strongly agree with this (while also thinking it is too late for parties to exit from it). I think institutional habits really matter and 'Happy Festivemas from Canva' just encourages insincerity and shallowness.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Start small. Give yourself SMALL goals you can complete quickly, while inspiration and courage hold out. There ARE people whose first writing work is a series of epic novels. But they are rare. When you are starting, make a goal of a page, a paragraph, even a sentence. Completion is triumph.

RFK jr talking about how “autism is only being diagnosed in children, not in older adults, it must be an epidemic” is crazy because have you ever met someone who is 60+ who is clearly autistic and doesn’t realize and suggest they get diagnosed? sometimes they’re offended you even suggest doing that

the way the right has boiled discussion on transness by saying trans women will always be “biological males” is despicable because taking cross hormone therapy literally changes your biological birth sex. your sex and sex functions is no longer the same after taking hormones for an extended time
