I’ll be sure to tell my partner, whom I’ve been dating for years and who pays their taxes, this information. This is what happens when you get misinformed bigots who don’t know how statistics work in power.

Starting off the morning having two straight women explain to me that they should be allowed to go to gay bars alone/with their straight friends and it’s discriminatory for me to say that I’d prefer them to be a queer space. Idk maybe it’s the millennial in me but not everything needs to be for you

Seeing a lot of “leopards ate your face” mentality around Trumpers who are now being negatively affected by his policies. Someone needs to do the work to accept these people and help them understand that conservative imperial capitalism hurt them, and that there is a way forward. This is how we win.

www.them.us/story/rfk-hh... 3.46 million Americans are intersex (conservatively) and don’t fit this “immutable binary.” 29 million women can’t produce eggs, and are therefore men. Not to mention, all humans are “female” at birth… how many idiots does it take to screw in a hate bulb?

News organizations need to stop using the term “biological sex” when reporting on gender policy. It’s reductive and erases the complexities of how reproductive biology works and is reported by doctors during the birth process. It’s rhetoric being used by the right to deny gender identity.

Was really heartened by an ad about the predatory and curative over preventative nature of the medical weight loss industry and the cultural emphasis on smaller bodies only to find out it was a weight loss medicine commercial. I hate it here.

Snoop Dogg just did a commercial about stopping hate after performing at the Trump inauguration. Is it a lack of cognitive dissonance thing or is he just a sellout?

Watching companies like Coca Cola make commercials about how they’re here for then, now, and always after cutting their DEI programs, however, does not make it for me.

Trump getting rid of African-American & Black History education is inline with his white supremacist values: “I have black guys counting my money. I hate it” ‘Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that” "Black people are too stupid to vote for me" www.politico.eu/article/15-m...

Resistance doesn’t have to be marching or legislative advocacy, especially if those activities are not within your bandwidth/level of physical activity. Get creative, fuck oppressive government.

If you haven’t been convinced, Trump is now issuing orders that affect EVERYONE. If you get sick or hurt and need an experimental treatment (or even something relatively new) good luck, because all of that is stopping. apple.news/AkEfPX9XPQiW...

Whelp. JD Vance finally took some time to roll off the new couch in his new office to confirm DUI hire Pete Hegseth in a tie-breaking vote. When MITCH FUCKING MCCONNELL is saying it’s a bad idea, that’s when you need to really take some inventory.

What’s going to happen when all of the immigrants have been deported and the trans people have been oppressed and the country is still shitty? At what point do people realize blaming minorities resolves nothing and they’re being taken advantage of? Why don’t we teach critical thinking anymore?

Also just found out that Harris is not giving the couch lover a tour of the VP residence (per tradition) and I just think that’s amazing. He’s going to call her trash and talk about her credentials to be there and imply that she slept her way to the top? He can find his own way around.

Looking at the list of countries that you can’t travel to as a convicted felon (like Trump) was almost as amusing as it was infuriating when I realized it just isn’t going to matter. Hearing that Musk’s office isn’t in the West Wing helped though.
