I do not want ICE. I want universally accessible paths to citizenship. I don't want more police. I'd rather reallocate funding to preventing crime from happening by giving people Enough. I don't want the death penalty. Two wrongs still don't make a right. I hate this timeline.

Listen, i work in historic preservation and conservation and this headline is misleadingly skipping the key point: this specifically and pointedly destroys the protections for Native American sacred sites. built heritage matters but not as much as the rights of indigenous folk.

Since this is growing some legs, it’s probably a good time to point out that you have a food bank near you, and it’s better to donate money than canned goods- they can stretch your dollar way further than you can. And they always need volunteers, for those of us who have more time than money.

Let’s be really clear about this lettuce situation: it’s not just the destruction of public health tracking, it’s also years and years of ending regulations that would have prevented conditions causing outbreaks in the first place, combined with climate change that makes them more likely to happen.

the high-profile people who supported platner ignored the nazi tattoo, so a bunch of women came forward to report sketchy behavior, which they also ignored, until this woman had to come forward and tell her full story. i hope they do some reflecting on how and why they put her in that position

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.
