If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

I had the same thoughts when I saw this going down. It's easy to show lgbtq support when it pacifies the Hoyo community, but not when that same support goes against the community. Hard not to be cynical that VAs are choosing fans over colleagues because fans are a source of income.

It's nice to see my colleagues openly show their support for the lgbtq, but it's also disappointing how silent that support was when your lgbtq colleagues were being attacked a few months ago by the same community you are standing up for.

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

Hasn’t even been 2 days since I posted this for it to immediately be relevant.

If a trans woman auditions for a cis male role it’s because she wanted to voice the role.

End of story.

Kdin Jenzen | 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Woman Voice Actress & VTuber! @kdinjenzenvo.com · 15d

It is very annoying that people assume trans women voice actresses will "refuse to voice a male character."

I've heard this sentiment from cis working professional AND from fan communities.

It's not true. At all.

We, trans women VAs, will happily take those roles.

It's -acting-. It's a -role-.

I hate when public spaces set up chairs for people waiting to be facing towards eachother. No I don't want to look at a stranger's face while I'm waiting at the airport. Why did you set up the chairs this way???

Disabled people are not expendable

Autistic people are not expendable

We aren’t lazy, we didn’t choose this & aren’t getting a free ride.

Disability is not a moral failing

It happens to almost everyone eventually

Join us & fight for disability justice

Your future self will thank you

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book

The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.
