We’re witnessing white supremacy in action and you have to be able to recognize it even when it’s not a bunch of racists marching down the street.
Naval Academy forced, by SECDEF personally, to remove nearly 1000 books seen as promoting diversity from its library, including MLKs autobiography or books about Jackie Robinson.

College students - and faculty - not allowed to read about MLK?

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

the two things I believe most strongly in this world are that public services should be wholly replaced by the private sector and that the government should intervene instantly the second I personally feel a little bit scared

My latest over on EITM - covering a cruel court ruling that's forcibly detransitioning trans Floridian inmates.

This doesn't just mean ceasing HRT - it also means forcing trans women to wear men's clothes and to shave their hair, a tactic used historically to dehumanize the marginalized.

I’ve gotten a number of messages lately about my essay on trauma and transition, I Did Not Consent To My Body. I’m always so touched when people share what it means to them. Thank you all so much.
