We need organized people power to win and protect the midterms. At the next No Kings on October 17, we’ll kick off the voting season with our communities and continue to build a nationwide movement ready to activate at the first inkling of election sabotage by the Trump regime.

For more than a year, millions of people have come together to send a clear message: in America, we have no kings. Power doesn't belong to billionaires, strongmen, or politicians who think they're abo...

It's not mind-bloggling! Who wants to travel to a country where your personal electronic devices can be searched, where you can be detained, without cause, by an ICE thug, where you can be gun downed in public places....doesn't sound like a relaxing vacation to me.

This is why those hostile to trans people need to get their shit together. It is taken from the end of my Medium piece on Helen Joyce's interview with Jordan Peterson on his YouTube channel (it got taken down but another user reposted it). medium.com/@GreedyRunne...
As a cis person, I began my 'journey' into trans-awareness on the assumption that trans people are who they represent themselves to be. Who am I to say otherwise? Who am I to demand that they 'prove themselves', as the 'trans question' demands? If a person gives me reason to doubt their honesty or intent, I will be cautious of them, but otherwise I accept people on their terms. Peterson and Joyce are no more objective than I am; they start from a position of hostility to trans people and make assumptions based on that. I have curiosity about what it's like to be trans, because it's not an experience I easily relate to; they can't relate to it either, but their 'ew, trans' reaction makes them fundamentally incurious, and pushes them to make shit up to rationalise their transphobia. I hope the reposted video stays up, because its an exemplar of the nastiness and dishonesty of the anti-trans movement.

This handy flowchart is for any fellow cis people out there who have someone in their lives who come out to them as trans.
Flow chart
Your friend or relative comes out as trans
Question. Does this harm you in any way?
If answered is yes, left to box that says, it doesn’t, then on to next question.
If answer is no, on to next question
Question. Are you happy for them?
If answered yes, on to final box that just says, sweet.
If answer is no, on to box that says, Why not? Get your shit together.

This needs to be addressed immediately. It's no fucking wonder this was swept under the rug.
The New York Legislature that has not fixed a ridiculous flaw in state law known as the “voluntary intoxication loophole,” which says prosecutors can’t bring charges of sexual assault against someone who raped a person who voluntarily became intoxicated beyond ability to give consent to sex.

Sexual assault is on the rise. And recent examples in higher ed and across multiple industries, remind me how many grown men still apparently struggle with the concept of CONSENT.
