Observing public arguments between conservatives having an election panic and liberals trying to decide whether or not burying minorities is good has convinced me that "leftist infighting" is a complete meme and we actually agree with each other way more than other political tendencies tbh

The official position of the US government is that trans service members are discharged on merit, and not because of animous towards their identity. Every slur he drips from his mouth is another citation in the lawsuit. Fuck hagseth

I know that UBI wouldn't solve *all* of our problems, but it seems like a good solution at least to this AI bullshit would be for the folks in charge to be like "ok yeah we did steal all of everyone's ideas for all time, here's your cut"

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

One of the basic points in Mills' The Racial Contract (originally published in 1997!) was that, if nothing else, White Supremacy deserves to be taken seriously as one of the great motivating ideologies of modernity and it's bizarre that political philosophers are so disinclined to treat it as such.

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging. CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material. Clown show.

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent person in the Trump regime — with the exception of Trump himself — and a clear and present danger to the entire world If Trump won’t fire him, Democrats should impeach him when (hopefully) they take over the House and Senate next January.

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

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

We lost the first battle by adopting "gender identity." This was the second battle we lost as a result of losing the first. No cis person says they identify as their gender. It semantically marked us out, and it's obvious to see why "sex ≠ gender" and "transwoman/transman" followed.
