i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

I recommend Seattleites make this year's election all about Trump and Musk. Attend candidate panels and ask what candidates are going to do to protect the vulnerable and what they're going to do about our cratering budget. Ask what they think about increasing surveillance in these times.

The notion that taxing the tech oligarchy is somehow a bad idea just got another nail in the coffin today thanks to UW economist Jake Vigdor, who can hardly be accused of progressive partisanship. 🧵 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

There are a million things to be outraged about right now (this is by design). My number one is, trans people don’t have the numbers to defend themselves from all the ways these people are trying to strip them of their humanity. Feels like a “first they came for (x) and I did not speak out” moment
