I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

Wow this is blowing up! Probably in a wider area than our customer base. So if you can’t eat our tacos you can check out our soundcloud at www dot trans rights are human rights dot com

it would be great if we had a democratic party willing to go out and say “this is an insane lie to get you to irrationally hate a minority group trying to just exist peacefully” rather than start throwing us under the bus and twiddling their thumbs

Ok the other ones they could screen for .gov emails, but for this one you absolutely should not submit fraudulent reports to the racism hotline. it would be very wrong to use LLMs in this process to make the reports superficially plausible and thus waste the most time possible.

Hi! This is a labeler account meant to identify Substack links. If you didn't know, Substack actively courts and platforms Nazis. If you quit X/Twitter because of the Nazi problem, well, what are you still doing on Substack? There are plenty of alternatives which may be more cost-effective for you.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

"Jesus take the wheel" was not the political strategy I was looking for from the Democratic leader in the House.

Earlier this week: We remember a legendary Texas woman, and the generations of fearless truth-tellers she inspired. The late Cecile Richards on the vital importance of storytelling in a social media era...

No seriously what the fuck

Today is the last day you can post this picture

this goes to my other pet issue, which is that "kids safety" has become synonymous with social media use, when their safety in reality is most threatened by guns and cars

I made an excellent, maybe all time best, beef stew last night and made lots of it so I would have delicious leftovers. Then I forgot to put it in the fridge after dinner. Please hold space for my period of mourning.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...
