I keep trying to tell y'all: you can frustrate and delay these authoritarian kleptocrats by multiple means, and every single second of delay, every instant where they look ridiculous in public, is a space to wedge in a crowbar for more breathing space.
You work the problem from all sides.

I’m bringing this up because this is a simple procedural way to fuck with republicans even if they’re in the majority. Call them out of order, rise to a point of personal privilege, use the very procedural rules that organize their meetings to strangle them. It fucking works.

It's rampant unfettered misogyny to keep girls and boys firmly in their assigned places so they can be controlled, exploited and manipulated into propping up the oligarchs and aristocracy.

It’s not about trans people any longer, it’s about destroying women and girl’s support networks

Do none of these people know what "stand with" means?
"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."
Nope, it's betrayal.

There is a (somewhat derogatory) shorthand in Hollywood that many people become emotionally arrested at the age they become famous, and I think that corresponds to power and politicians, too.

If they can't fight this because they'd be destroyed and so have to collaborate with fascism, then I'd rather they be destroyed. Better gone than collaborating. This applies to basically every organisation.

Low-trust societies are so expensive, I swear.
To bare my chest, my spouse and I just navigated two years of fighting for IDEA accommodations for our older kiddo whose dyslexia and decoding skills deficits were so pronounced that, in 3rd grade, their reading test scores were <1st percentile.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!
My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off

Manners matter. Not the snobbish, etiquette enforcement of hierarchy that some try to say is manners, but in a genuine, attitude of politeness. I wish I had learned that earlier, but I am glad the lesson became bone tattoo.

During my divorce I went looking for some support groups or writing on healthy coping strategies for men, and holy shit there is nothing out there but a funnel to the manosphere. Jordan Peterson dominates the space. There's a huge need for healthy, honest support. It's really bad.
