So I haven't posted about this since I don't live in Huntington Beach but the pro-privatization pro-book banning crew fucked up so bad they had to drive around town and cut out 1/4th of their signs with scissors because they didn't pass the signs by lawyers first lmfao
JUST IN: Two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach are both ahead by very wide margins.

Measure to repeal a 'book review committee' up 61/39.
Measure to bar privatization up 63/37.

That's already with 51K+ ballots counted.

Context:
did you know? a wealthy beach town in southern California now has an all-MAGA city board, and they've been going after public libraries and book access

public library advocates have organized two ballot measures to counter: it's on the ballot on JUNE 10.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

Big and small.
Never forget where you came from.

Support smaller communities whenever you can.
There is no competition.

If you don't support smaller creators because you are afraid of them, or see them as competition, you're a loser. ✌️

If you are anything other than appreciative and loving for being included in your child’s life, however it takes shape, than you get the loneliness you deserve.
Only way to do it if you love your kid.

Speaking of due process…they really don’t want this man to have it

This has so long to go and I am genuinely fucking SCARED. I did the math & if ~half my followers chipped in $6.89 it’d be done, complete…

The chances of that happening are pretty much 0 but the thought of it makes me want to spontaneously combust. There are over 8B people on this planet 🫠
My son and I are in real trouble. June’s insurance bills are $2,375—before rent, food, or basics. I wouldn’t be asking if it weren’t urgent. Please share or help if you’re able. We just want to make it through and keep our stability - what little we have of it 😭

Genuinely trying to be helpful here when I say that there are zero ways to sloganize disruption of our oppressive status quo that people who have even the slightest investment in maintaining it as is won't intentionally misinterpret or willfully misunderstand.

There are none. It has never happened.
I am begging everyone to not confuse a clear and broadly popular slogan with one that needed a footnote and a paragraph of explanation.
"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

Authoritarianism advances gradually, using what Hungarian dictator Rákosi called szalámitaktika ("salami tactics").

Each step advances their goals just enough to cause outrage, but falls short of provoking widespread organized resistance.

It's the essence of Niemöller's "First they came" poem.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

really upsetting how often you’ll see someone being hateful to a member of a specific community online and then when everyone starts yelling they go “i’ve worked with these kinds of people for years!”

I have to acquire 3900 in 10 days.

And it’s not going to happen.

I have asked everyone I know to help or share the gofundme. Everyone that knew me as a child. Past team mates. Friends from college. Extended family. Close family. Parents of childhood friends from 35 years ago.
