The logic of "Democrats shouldn't stand up for trans rights because it will hurt them in elections" makes no sense. There are NO voters who are ready to vote for Democrats but decide not to because they just can't get on board with support for trans rights. Those people are Republicans.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

This is how liberals want to use our identities; to advance harm. And exactly why I say representation in film being a person who looks like me is fine. But representation in politics is only and exclusively someone who either shares or will fight to advance my values, like Less Harm.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 6h

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.

It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.

Jamie Lee Curtis always acts like a parody of a white woman. Like yeah she’s a white woman but is always extra weird with it as if to highlight the absurd. But she’s just being herself.

Like how Nick Cage is odd but for just doing white man things

Jamie Lee Curtis says she refers to Nicole Kidman as "the HBIC, head b*tch in charge"

“That’s not Brad Pitt or George Clooney or Tom Cruise or Ryan Gosling doing that [the AMC ads]. It’s Nicole f*cking Kidman.”
