Child abuse is telling a child that they are confused about their own internal sense of self. Just as it was with being gay, so it is with gender identity.

Unabashedly supporting trans rights is the moral arc of our time. It's the only way out of this, ironically, and we must always teach going forward that if trans rights are eroded, it's only a matter of time before everyone else's rights are eroded too.

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?

Why would anyone put Trump’s lie in their headline that these are “reciprocal” tariffs? This is part of the reason we are here right now.

Without prioritizing scientific research, the United States will cede its leadership. We really fucked up by letting conservatives dumb down the susceptible population so much that they'll argue anti-science positions on their handheld supercomputer the same science they deny gave them.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is a good speech. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

One of the reasons I talk about what hormone therapy does to our bodies so much is that learning about it changed everything for me.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but it is incredible how swiftly abortion was pushed out of the political conversation the minute the election was over

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Elon claiming the woke mind virus killed his son is like saying Galileo killed the sun god Helios by proclaiming the earth revolves around the sun. Not only is Galileo correct, there's no such thing as Helios. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A narcissist abuser's first move is always to separate you from your friends. Trump is doing it at a global level.

One thing evident in watching these clips of town halls where Republican constituents are booing and chastising their representative only for the rep to say something like "Elon Musk is doing great work" and it's just never been clearer who these folks actually work for.

I wonder if any of the current ICE agents or DOGE dummies remember that "I was just following orders" didn't actually stand as a viable defense. Restore democracy; capture the private prisons, repurpose them for the criminals running this autocratic fascist takeover of our country and people.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
