There's something extra exhausting about the expectation from cis people that trans people should be nice and acquiesce quietly, when a lot of us have lost friends in recent years, have been fleeing homes or are helping out friends fleeing or trying to keep them afloat after being ousted from work..

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

Shoutout to my mom for always making sure my brother and I knew about our background and had a connection with our family even when the culture barrier made it hard btw. She’s the realest and I love her and so does everyone who has ever met her.

This is so real. The shit people would say to my white mother was so heinous that she cut off multiple friendships within days of the attacks. A lot of people asking if my dad knew the hijackers or about The Plan. Oh, and my mom thought he’d died in the towers while being asked all of this.

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

This is very important. I have a LOT of feelings toward Talarico's dumb ass, but we can NOT let this genocidal half-melted butter sculpture into the US Senate. Ken Paxton is Scum Incarnate, and he makes a sport out of abusing trans kids in Texas while chasing other trans kids across state lines.

Ed Markey is projected to win the Democratic nomination for senate in Massachusetts. This is why you don't try to throw trans people under the bus in the Democratic party. Seth Moulton just found out.
Election results graphic projecting incumbent Edward Markey as the winner of the Massachusetts Democratic primary. Markey leads with 73.0% (10,560 votes) against Seth Moulton with 27.0% (3,896 votes), with 1.6% of expected votes reported.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry had such a genuine enthusiasm for performing that it was impossible not to love them for it, there were things more highly and lowly regarded in their bodies of work but both of them threw themselves into everything because it was pure joy for them and that rules

This is a case where everyone knows what is actually going on here but if a judge were to openly admit it, it would throw the judicial system into crisis. Better to let it continue and sacrifice trans people to maintain comity in the federal judiciary.
