It rocks that these people won, are in control, got what they supposedly wanted, and are still just as bitter as ever about everything, winning or losing makes no difference to filling the gaping holes in their souls

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

it's always good to be reminded how much of a loser nerd quack is, and that he doesn't deserve to still hold all the CHIKARA stuff and someone better deserves to revive that and do it better than he ever did

With Orange Cassidy being part of a major pro wrestling crossover with the DC Universe at NYCC, I’d like to take this opportunity to dunk on Mike Quackenbush.

I’m not saying “you don’t like women” in the sense that you’re gay - I mean you fundamentally don’t see women as human and instead just things to win against

Similarly describing him as an "expert on antifa" rather than an "antifascism researcher" further legitimates antifa as a proper noun in a way that makes zero sense

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 2d

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."
