A Stonewall monument without trans representation is not a Stonewall monument. It is less than meaningless it is actively harmful. Praise to the people planting their own flags.

Basic paradox of intolerance stuff - actually you should be incredibly rude to racists, homophobes, transphobes, sexists and neo-nazis! You should be rude to them and then you should kick them out of your establishment

A lot of issues with banning, moderation and free speech boil down to "how can we make sure everyone's opinions get respected" without realising that not everyone's opinions should be respected

Just for no reason I’ve decided to tell you a story.
It’s about being bisexual in the 90s. My lesbian friends (who quickly became my ex friends) told me I didn’t exist. I was confused. I was a traitor to “real” lesbians because I tainted them because I had contact with cock.

Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

“I will not use my office to the fullest extent allowable but my opponent will” is a really bad takeaway actually. Just pack the court man.

Beware the temptation to downplay the SCOTUS ruling and to deny its potential implications. We've been down this road before.

Legitimate question- How is this legal? How is this not being immediately challenged by big companies who make artists sign dozens of NDA's? How is it not considered a threat to free expression? Art isn't a personal record or raw consumer data. Our privacy laws DESPERATELY need an update.

It’s incredible how quickly an openly anti-democratic candidate was normalized. This will receive a fraction of the attention given to campus protests.
