I just saw someone wearing a sweatshirt bearing the words: "Empowering people to advocate for impact" and nothing else. And it's impossible to tell whether that's a real slogan or a bit of surface-of-Mercury dry humor about the essential emptiness of slogan language. I would wear it as the latter.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.

Every time they dig up some "shocking" old tweet from Abdul El-Sayed I keep clicking through to see if there's a part two before realizing yet again that it's just something Muslims aren't allowed to say

As our president tries to paint Canada as an enemy during the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it might be a good time to see "Come From Away," the story of a small Canadians town embrace of Americans stuck there after the terror attack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af77...

As a Jew, the most vital thing I need anyone running to lead us to denounce are the concentration camps where civilians, from babies to elders, are being held without due process. I know what happens when a group is reviled, scapegoated & held captive by an authoritarian force dividing to conquer.

not sure how to express this without sounding like a chair-turned-around youth pastor, but there's something so radical about having your most well-known lyric be "i will always love you" and then sincerely embodying it whenever possible

Autopsies show how hard doctors tried to save babies who died after not getting a vitamin K shot: tubes inserted in their airways, blood transfusions. They’re excruciating to read because they underscore how preventable these deaths could have been. (Published May)

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Seems like no one hit any home runs on the last ball in the first round of the homerun derby. And I'm pretty sure it's because someone at TMobile cravenly wanted to avoid any possible association with gay or women's issues and decided to call it "the Magenta Ball."
