This is a column I filed to the NYT but the discourse moved on past it before it could see daylight. The topic won't get stale anytime soon though, so here it is: The Art of Punching Up: espiers.medium.com/the-troublem...

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Yeah, because malls, of which two of three big ones near me have closed and been demolished in recent years, are in any position to be restrictive about their customers. 🙄

I've said it before and I say it again. If your queer youth "advocacy" ends where "parents have the right to do as they wish" begins, your advocacy is shit.

This is so fucking true. I NEVER thought I'd see people in my lifetime of all stripes wearing keffiyehs in public and risking their careers for Palestinian liberation. I couldn't imagine this. Ever. It's moving, it's beautiful, it's unbelievable. And yet it's real.
solidarity is a beautiful thing to witness. ten years ago if you told a Palestinian that multiple artists would drop out of a career-changing tour in solidarity with their people against genocide, they would not believe you. never give up hope in any struggle for liberation, never stop fighting.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

The right-wing grudge against the Smithsonian is much older and weirder than most people realize. Before anybody scoffs and dismisses the severity of Christian belief in ancient giants in America, it is an attempt to erase Native Americans. This is a pervasive belief. newrepublic.com/article/1992...
