The fact that every major news outlet includes vocal tics and hesitations when it’s a woman saying “like” and not when it’s a man saying “um” is itself wicked telling.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

I volunteered for Eugene Vindman’s campaign back in 2024, canvassing for 5 hours straight on Election Day while still recovering from major leg surgery. Two months ago, his campaign asked me to canvass again. I said I’m sorry, I won’t. I only volunteer for candidates who stand up for trans rights.

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

It's very simple. This is my last campaign stop. In the next month, my opponents will spend an estimated combined total of 178 million dollars campaigning for your vote. I, too, will spend 178 million dollars. On you. If elected, I will send each and every registered voter a check for 4,072 dollars and 65 cents.
