The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Capitalism will always nurture the worst parts of us, because it allows hate to align with business so the true believers and opportunists and grifters can unite in making the world shittier
The fact that there is ~industry~ around hating trans people means that we will never be free of it, unless and until we dismantle capitalism.
this stuff matters in itself, of course, but also the TERF-Industrial complex won't ever stop. Each "win" is just the new base camp for the next battle.

As someone whose mother absolutely would pull this shit, I would be tearing at my hair from beyond the grave.
Esther Ghey is kind of allergic to talking about the transphobic murder of her daughter as a transphobic murder, huh
Phones did not murder Brianna Ghey in cold blood.

It’s not about being on a high horse it’s about using these moments of frustration and crisis and rupture to help people understand how the system works so they get out of their delusional frame of mind

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

I love JCO so much. She's a crazy old bat and loaded with bigotries but in an era of inhuman monsters, she has at least remained...herself? Uncorrupted? IDK. People are wild man.

I still cannot believe that some of the most politically relevant movies of the recent era are the damn Star Wars prequels.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I have so much empathy for my closeted sisters—I’ve been there, I know the pain, and your queerness—your feelings—are valid.
But until you make the (terrifying!) move to come out, I agree w/ Talia.

90% of the worst queer discourse is driven by people either in the closet or otherwise terrified about what committing to their authentic selves means for their lives, and while we should be patient and loving to these folks we need to stop taking them seriously

I think it’s easier for some women to rationalize men hating them bc of misogyny as “he’s DL”
Like being gay doesn’t make you hate women. Men can be sexually attracted to you, hate you and view you as property. He’s not gay he’s a misogynist.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
