the reason dems have the phrase ‘vote blue no matter who’ is to dupe voters in to supporting ferociously right wing candidates who should never be in the dem party to begin with. it’s corporate sloganeering.

Did you see what happened with Labour in the UK in the past few years when they decided transphobia wasn't a dealbreaker? It spreads. 26 Dems in the past two weeks jumped on that bandwagon.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.
Reuters tweeted: "Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, praising the country's long tradition of welcoming immigrants in his first major address to the United States." They then attached a video of the Pope speaking. 

Someone named NoraNH replied: "The Declaration of Independence doesn’t mention immigrants"The Declaration of Independence.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

I see people characterize the student protests against Israel as failures, and I really don’t think that’s true. They may not have toppled the U.S.-Israel alliance or ended the genocide, but they have helped usher in a generational turning point in attitudes toward Israel and Palestine

Just a reminder that if you’re a living queer over ~40, you’re a freaking survivor, no matter when you came out. We are now, many of us, well past the ages so many of our fallen ancestors weren’t able to reach. Ageism has no place in queer liberation or feminism. Stamp it out.

I put on some music to distract myself from the news I had just gotten and all it did was serve as a film score to the news I had just gotten. I used to think every single song was about romantic love but at my age that’s not at all what they’re about any more.
My accountant called to tell me everything seemed to be in order with my filing and then added as a postscript that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He was going to be out of the country for a while getting treatment back home where it is free he said so he was rushing to get as many of his clients sorted as he could before then. 

This was obviously sad news to hear. I didn’t know him all that well personally but I had been to his apartment in Inman Square a dozen times over the years and drank his tea and he of course had taken a pretty thorough peak under the hood of my life finances-wise. I felt the urge to cry for him but then had the idea he wouldn’t respect it. Stiff upper lip and all that. Instead I told him I would say a little prayer for him and I don’t think he cared for that very much either but he said thank you anyway because even dying people default to being polite. When we hung up I cried all the same. 

I will cry for any of you behind your back whether you like it or not. 

The next day my little sister called to tell me she had been diagnosed with cancer herself so that kind of knocked the accountant story out of the headlines. I should have kept my powder dry. She lied to me for a while about how it wasn’t going to be that bad while I listened to her lie then I lied to her for a while about how it wasn’t going to be that bad while she listened to me lie.

Everything I’ve ever said about my dead parents was also about her dead parents. That’s how siblings work. Pardon me I know you know that. But there are not many people in the world I can say that about. Kind of an exclusive club. 

It’s small she said. They caught it early she said. Thank god I said. Thank god for that. I’m very lucky she said. That’s right I said. I told her I’d come see her in the next few days and she said she would like that.
