I'm really glad the anti-trans Medicaid exclusions were removed from Trump's billionaire bailout but a bill that still kicks 20 million (largely working class) people off their health insurance is still going to have a disastrous impact including and especially on trans people. Kill the bill.

bad news for Mamdani: i just imagined him shooting at my feet with two revolvers while shouting "dance! dance, ya varmint, dance!!" and then cackling so maniacally that his cowboy hat falls off. When will he go on TV to apologize for doing this

NYTimes is coming out in full force against the LGBTQ community. Returning to their roots! They only pretended to accept queer people for a few years when it was considered vogue and hip.

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

With cruel work requirements threatening to strip millions of Medicaid, I joined Death Panel to talk about the rise of the "working homeless"—and how policy violence, disguised as reform, masks a brutal truth: in America, grinding labor doesn't guarantee even the bare essentials of survival.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

SONG

Is it dirty
does it look dirty
that's what you think of in the city

does it just seem dirty
that's what you think of in the city
you don't refuse to breathe do you

someone comes along with a very bad character
he seems attractive. is he really. yes. very
he's attractive as his character is bad. is it. yes

that's what you think of in the city run your finger along your no-moss mind 
that's not a thought that's soot

and you take a lot of dirt off someone
is the character less bad. no. it improves constantly
you don't refuse to breathe do you

“Male loneliness” have you tried being someone’s boyfriend. Taking out the trash. Walking the dog. Being filled with purpose and satisfaction.

Cop City is officially "opening" today. The movement against it carries so many lessons for people everywhere, because the issues are everywhere today: the un-democratic militarization and expansion of policing and state violence, backed by dark money private funding.

This summer, Kemp wrote a puff piece about "downtown" for the NYT, ignoring the paper's aggressive, consistent pro-Zionist stance. I would thus suggest ignoring her book.

Forgot to skeet this lol, but I'm writing a book. It's called RAPID ONSET, and it looks at the anti-trans culture industry via the decline of US empire.

Worsening material circumstances are radicalizing people and also wearing them down and making them lash out at one another. Like we’re waiting to see who will win, the bucket or the crabs.

Through the "Voices of Gaza" series I attempt to center the lives of people who have become a political symbol, but who themselves are increasingly abandoned as they put together the pieces of worlds destroyed by genocide & occupation. I'm consolidating the links here.

I think very few people even among the politically informed have internalized how CRAZY an exception CARES was to the US policy tradition. for awhile there our unemployment system was like an *order of magnitude* more generous to low-income people than any Nordic country
