Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.
As a fascist trend, the anti-gender movement supports ever strengthening forms of authoritarianism. Its tactics encourage state powers to intervene in university programs, to censor art and television programming, to forbid trans people their legal rights, to ban LGBTQI people from public spaces, to undermine reproductive freedom and the struggle against violence directed at women, children, and LGBTQI people. It threatens violence against those, including migrants, who have become cast as demonic forces and whose suppression or expulsion promises to restore a national order under duress.

Today, the SF Board of Supervisors approved an upzoning law that will incentivize demolition of thousands of rent controlled homes. Supervisors Chan, Chen, Fielder & Walton supported an amendment to exempt rent controlled buildings but were outvoted by other supervisors.

The Earl of Sandwich did not invent the first sandwich. He was a fraud! Tha matters because in today’s #talmud, the sages use The Hillel Special (matzah, bitter herbs, pascal lamb) as a legal case study.

a gay poem from my reading tonight: “be fat, do crimes” by baruch porras hernandez
ASSARACUS: BARUCH PORRAS HERNANDEZ BE FAT, DO CRIMES Whenever I break a chair just by sitting on it, I think to myself, wow MY BODY IS POWERFUL. I bend gravity as I walk! Feel the earth groan a little when I plant my feet on it. I crack mirrors when I look at them because they are not enough to hold my beauty! Calling all mountaineers! Time to climb me like the sex mountain I am! Get on fellas! Big Foot is real, you found me! Gargantuan! The beast of your dreams! Planetary! Enough to feed a village! A couch you can fuck! A bed that will massage your back as you melt on top of me, a donut between both our mouths! I know skinny jerks hate it when I say this: My sex life got better after I got fat. I'll say it again, for the back of the room: My Sex Life Got Better AFTER I GOT FAT! One lover says I make him feel like a real person, one lover says no one can make him cum as hard as I can, one lover keeps coming back, says I devour him like a meal, and I do, from his ear lobes to his delicious toes. Here comes the behemoth, get the fuck out my way! Oh no, you bought an airplane seat next to me? Get ready to cuddle, bitch! My legs, my skin, my softness abounding astronomical, my ass astounding. I have swallowed Jonah. He was delicious! I have swallowed the wooden marionette and his little old man too! ASSARACUS: BARUCH PORRAS HERNANDEZ When I have troubles I eat a donut, fuck a beautiful man, and forget. Be Fat! Do Crimes! Commit the crime of walking down the street while being fat with a smile on your face, I promise you it will just ruin the fuck out of skinny people's days. All the men on the sex apps in San Francisco, a choir of headless bodies screaming: "I am Into: Jocks! Muscle! Daddies! Twinks! College! Nerd! Trans! Otters! Fit! Any Race! Guys Next Door! Older! Younger! Kink! Poz! PnP! Discreet! Monogamous! Polyamorous! Pissplay! Footplay! PUPPYPLAY! Sir-Boy! Father-Son! Uncle-Nephew! Bisexual! Bukkake! Lampshades! Cars! Couches! Corn on the Cob! Towels! Curtains! Elbows! Trees! Carrots! Desks! Sculptures Made of Thumbtacks! Anything, Anything, WILL FUCK ANYTHING but please for the love of god, don't BE FAT! No offense, it's just a preference, if I take care of my body, so should you." But I don't care. All I have to do lift my arms at a Bear event and all the men start salivating when my shirt raises over my gut. At a sex club I run through the twinks like a lion runs through tall grass and reeds. They climb on top of me like Totoro as I fly through the gay air. At the sex party seven men get on their knees to form an ass buffet. My tongue, mightier than the sword! Where is the beef? Here I am! To Me, My X-Tra Large Men! Sometimes I have sex just because I know ASSARACUS: BARUCH PORRAS HERNANDEZ somewhere some hateful twink is furious that a fat person is loving their life. I know my orgasms are so great somewhere a skinny bitch feels the cosmic energy of my release and screams in jealous agony and to that I say "Oh honey, go have a snack."

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.
