of course. i was just noting that we're not as small a group as many seem to think, and we keep growing even still.

1.3% of us adults are trans according to gallup less than a fortnight ago. news.gallup.com/poll/656708/...

you're underestimating the number. if the cbo's estimate of 229m us adults is right, and if gallup's 2025 polling that 1.3% of us adults are trans is right, then ~229,000,000 * .013 = ~2,977,000. so nearly 3 million us adults--not counting kids! and what happens here affects trans people everywhere.

and spread as much of it as widely as you can. unusual times call for unusual measures. if you treat it like normal, you normalize the abnormal. don't. make it clear that this is not normal. not okay. make it a big enough thing and you'll get the attention you need. don't get killed though. be safe.

don't go. invert the usual. send a small notetaking contingent (and any intransigent assholes who can't get down with the solidarity). everyone else have a rally somewhere else. multiple speakers. let people get their words out in a way that is not, please, canned and inauthentic. stream it. clip it

arif mardin wrote this song, which features chaka khan on backing vocals, and he produced the album, which features a who's who of l.a. studio musicians. it's one of george benson's best albums of his pop era. give me the night is another.

That James Carville, the boomer id of the Democratic Party, thinks we should roll over and play dead is the perfect symbol for why we so badly need a generational shift in power. Get outta here my dude. You don't have the skills or stomach for this.

I'm a drummer. I like nivea creme. Doesn't take much, dries smooth not clammy, smells like baby oil. My hands used to crack and bleed from dryness. Three fingertips worth of this after washing has my hands soft as ever. Got a 13.5 oz tub for 15 bucks and it might last the rest of my life, no shit

"These motherfuckers are breaking the law, and when we Dems are back in charge, we're gonna jail all of them," is the only statement that I have seen out in the wilds of conservative Reddit & other places online that has genuinely made these folks think twice, and imo that's what we need to push.

every single republican in office is a fucking oathbreaker who is selling out the constitution and our democratic birthright

EITHER ...
... this is a lawless attack by fascists on the very foundations of constitutional government ...
... OR ...
... the GOP is a normal, legitimate party with which Dems have policy disagreements, but with which they will work in good faith to find areas of compromise.
Can't have both.

anyway as i've argued before any class politics worth its name is not going to treat identity as an obstacle to solidarity but as an asset. "we all suffer in different ways under capitalism and the only way to relieve your particular suffering is to help me relieve mine and vice versa."

All Telsa vehicles in Canada are now known as Douche Panzers thanks to a Canadian Member of Parliament who them such at an official press gallery interview in the House of Commons. The dude is a legend here. Once played in a punk band and opened for the Dead Kennedys. Still living punk values!

"Jeff Bezos seems to believe he can retool the newspaper that took down Nixon to appeal to the coalition of revanchist illiterates and incel oligarchs powering Trump II, likely because he has turned his thinking meat into pure muscle with megadoses of HGH."

Here's the Zillow listing with 75 photos. I was so sad to learn it burned down. I used to walk past it on my way to and from school when I attended Eliot. It was a treasure. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...
