People getting mad about this probably don’t remember AEDPA, the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, which passed the senate by 91-8, and the House 293-133, and was signed into law by Bill Clinton.

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

You wanna know my favorite, "did you know it was Jim Crow?" phrase: No Loitering. Sure, the word is older than the United States, but its meaning in the States evolved after Emancipation. When vagrancy laws made Black criminals. "No Loitering" subtly replaced "whites only" in a colorblind way

Most people in the USA have been very willing to allow a great deal of state violence so long as they do not need to witness or experience it regularly. MAGA has used this to push the limit of how much violence the USA will tolerate. There is no reason to think the escalation will stop.

If the Hepatitis B vaccine trial RFK Jr. has funded in Guinea-Bissau were ethical, he’d be doing it in the U.S. Instead, he’s preying on infants in one of the poorest countries in the world, which also happens to have a high prevalence of Hep B. Infants will suffer b/c RFK Jr. is anti-vax.

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition

Congress must pass it without delay.

Mrs Fannie Lou Hamer was born 109 years ago today. Her life so grand and her voice so big, she needs no real introduction But I know they were so afraid of her, the President called an emergency press conference about absolutely nothing just so the public wouldn't hear her speak

Once, having major surgery, the nurse art UW in Seattle told my (registered domestic partner with paperwork) wife she couldn't stay, but asked the husband of the other patient if he was staying. Shift change: gay male nurse took care of us. We reported the problem to the patient liaison.

We paid taxes on 10k of imputed income for my medical insurance coverage each year till we got married. (Once we got domestic partner benefits.) It disappeared. We had to do the fed taxes twice, once "as if married." It was a royal pain, and my wife's an accountant.

There is no way to reduce deportations without a substantial defunding of law enforcement in rural areas, who have long operated like a baronial class unto themselves.

I agree, except they don't look the same. Their foreheads don't move because of the Botox, their skin is so stretched they can't frown. Their age can be counted by the extent of the artificial tautness, the obviously collagened lips that get wider every time the smile lines get stretched away.

A friend of mine needed vaginal surgery to repair a rectocele, which is essentially a hernia between the rear vaginal wall and the rectum. IT'S ELECTIVE. But, no, misogyny isn't the basis for medical decisions in USA healthcare.

Inevitably the discourse turns to "restorative justice," which I think is deeply misunderstood because there is a sort of corporatized version that got copied and pasted as a policy for institutions looking for an easier answer. (Very similar to "anti bias" trainings).

My 2018 Subaru is "smart." Automatic means check a connected phone for the time. After a dead battery, it was wrong. Set it manually, figuring it would be close, then disconnected and reconnected a phone and changed it to auto. It went back to the wrong time. Now adjusted manually. So smart.

I’m gonna make a general comment here: every person who comes into a Black woman’s mentions to say she doesn’t know her intellectual place thinks that race and gender has nothing to do with it. BUT: The decision not to consider how Black women are targeted before commenting is itself misogynoir.
