No compromise on trans rights, ever.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Mar 3

the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

It's National Coming Out Day.

I'm still gay.

Fascists who want us closeted and/or dead are on the march, with the help of craven centrists who think they can benefit politically by throwing trans kids to the wolves.

If you aren't 100% for trans rights, I don't fuck with you.

What do you think the ideal ratio of empty homes to homeless people would look like?

How do you think the relationship between housing vacancy rates and homelessness rates works?

The organizing director for YIMBY action is literally a trans woman what the hell are you on about.

It’s not my fault he wrote an airport book about my movement. The biggest driver of the housing crisis in SF is the slew of Reagan era slow growth measures, not major Bay Area employers.

This is dumb meme legislation that won’t actually make housing cheaper.

What the hell are you talking about? I am not Ezra Klein’s boss.

I am not lying. You are just misinformed.

I work with housing advocates to make it cheaper to live in San Francisco because this city cannot be a refuge for queer people fleeing red state oppression when rent is $3,500/month.

We already have statewide rent stabilization and good cause eviction protections in California thanks to AB 1482; and fuck you for even implying that I am any less than 100% supportive of trans liberation.

Great post! Terrible comments.

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

“I live my life without a transit schedule, and I like it.”

That’s a great, succinct statement about the benefits of frequent service.

the latest effort to try to find the switch to turn off liberalism (also these people hate the idea of a free society)

Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · 23h

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.
