Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

The Iron Mountain thing is the straw for my credulity. I'm absolutely done. Make me Secretary of State or some shit. Despite not being CEO of multiple companies and advising the president, I am functionally aware of one of the biggest contractors in America. We are cooked.

The thing people need to understand about TERF dogwhistles is that they're not usually phrases that are automatically transphobic. They're generally innocuous on their face, but when TERFs use them, you can sense that they're complaining about trans women without saying so. 🧵

Don’t hurt yourself. Don’t do their work for them. Don’t give them what they want. Show them you can thrive until you’re dead. Be the best you.

It’s coordinated. Moms For Liberty is going after books telling immigrant children they belong

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
My name is Malaka Gharib, the author of the book "I Was Their American Dream."
When I heard today that the group Moms for Liberty proposed to ban my book, along with Gene Luen Yang's classic coming-of-age graphic novel "American Born Chinese," at the Dallas Center - Grimes Community School District in lowa, I was shocked.
The book is profoundly patriotic and has several positive messages for young people.
It tells those from immigrant backgrounds that it is OK to be proud of your cultures in America. This country makes it safe for us to do that here. And no matter what your ethnicity is, if you live in this country -- yes, you get to call yourself an American too.
And for young people who are not from immigrant backgrounds, there are lessons to be learned here too.
America is made up of many different people. But you might not realize that the minorities who live here may feel pressure to hide parts of themselves they might be really proud of. So it's everyone's job to make sure we're allowing everyone's light to shine.

"I Was Their American Dream" is a story about immigrant joy -
- and the pride we feel as Americans.
On the subject of graphic novels being mere "picture books," I challenge you to try reading a comic yourself. It is akin to reading poetry. You must take into account the drawing, the dialogue and the narration to understand the deeper context of the story -- what is there and what has been omitted. It's complex stuff.
I hope you will reconsider Moms of Liberty's petition to ban my book along with Yang's. It's a disservice to young people whose lives may be changed for the better because of these books.
Thank you for considering my plea,
Malaka Gharib

This morning I was mistaken for French. That’s a new experience.

Still 3 more to go to hit 1000. I feel like I'm leading a PBS pledge drive here. "Folks, we need just 3 more followers to reach our goal of 1000. Every follower matters and is a valuable part of our content. If you join now, we'll give you your own post promoting you. Help us out today"

One of the great theories of con artistry is that often the mark cons themselves. In looking for an easy deal you overlook the risk, the illogical costs, the 'wtf are you even thinking' factor. So what *exactly* is the lasting lesson of Manifest Destiny? The Easy Deal.
