It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Calls to abolish our carceral state are dangerous and unrealistic? OK, let’s talk about our carceral state. ICE has a quota of 2,000 arrests a day. Over a year, that maths out to 0.2% of the entire U.S. population. www.the-reframe.com/soon-you-too...

Accepting a bully's framing won't save you a beating. Why solidarity is the best way out.

CTA Defend Trans Kids: If you're a clinician, a parent, a trans adult, or just someone who cares, I wrote a guide on how to submit effective comments opposing the federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Deadline 2/17/26 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/149210... 🔗

Below in smaller teal text: "by Matthew Cortland — 01/26/2026". A simplified scales of justice icon appears on the right side. The bottom features a gradient banner in teal, gold, and coral with the text "SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE A LAWYER" and "PATREON.COM/MATTBC" flanking a black Patreon logo.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project. www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

The Crime of Human Virtue
Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
With Substack's latest launch, writers are actually ceding control of the billing relationship to Apple, which now owns and controls the subscription.
These transactions, subscriptions, and customers will no longer be accessible in their Stripe account.

Most importantly, that means that if writers choose to leave Substack, they won't be able to port their paid subscriptions over to another platform like they could previously. This predatory platform lock-in is incredibly dangerous for writers. It strips away data and control, while locking them into the platform.

The reason Substack pushed a Nazi blog onto people's phones is because—as founder Hamish McKenzie said in his response to Substackers Against Nazis 2 yrs ago—he believes it is valuable and important to platform Nazi voices. This sort of thing is not a one-off. www.the-reframe.com/questions-fo...

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far: 1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination 2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids 3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally 4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

Elon Musk is perfect for America because he has the power to enact dumb guy solutions to dumb guy problems. This week he will order the chip factories to stop putting so much air in the bags and when the chips get all smashed up in shipping he’ll be like “success! Big chips were too hard to eat”

Slightly buried the lede but: if you're a queer couple and you want to get married ASAP in a state with strong protections before Obergefell inevitably gets overturned by fascists I will do an officiate for you for free (if you drop by the shop when I'm here just call/email ahead to make sure I am).

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states. Polisky Gendersky Academicsky

I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law first
The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.
