I didn’t expect my 3-year-old son to find comfort in a YouTube screen while we were surviving a war. But during the long, hunger-filled days of displacement in Gaza, with bombs overhead and no clean water in our mouths, he would whisper her name like a lifeline: “Ms. Rachel.”
My toddler watched Ms. Rachel in the rubble of our Gaza home. She just talked to me — and him
On why Ms. Rachel’s stand for the children in Gaza gave Palestinian parents like me hope.

That
And Americans racially codified that spite post civil war
And civil rights
The way to assure dominance was to remind people that Black people getting free and the wave of migrants was why they didn’t have things

Someone from a country with an actual social net once said to me that the thing is most countries accept that a small minority of people will scam any system but those people are sad and tired and the benefits to people with real need outweighs that but Americans are spiteful

Let's actually talk about how the single-most successful barometer for GC radicalization is making a target feel like they have nothing in common with transfems (which is something that even works on some transfems).
Let's talk about how the playbook is to fracture, to break solidarity.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Also goes some of the way towards explaining how terfism, which purports to be a feminist movement, invariably finds common cause with far-right misogynists.
I think this is something I've missed when talking about why the far right values attacking trans people so highly. It's not just that it radicalises people and teaches them anti human rights arguments, it's that it literally cultivates authoritarian thinking

Antagonism to transgender rights is tied to the authoritarian desire for social conformity – not just partisan affiliation
Authoritarian attitudes – the desire for social conformity and an aversion to difference – play an important role in Americans’ willingness to restrict transgender rights.

there's a circle of bad politics and bad art - if the only tone found acceptable is simultaneously didactic and fearful, that loops back into discourse.
by fearful I mean the kind of instinctively defensive, 'what if somebody thinks I mean this' stance

I genuinely think this particular aesthetic trend (Good Art Is Didactic And Also Assumes You Are Very Stupid) is a non-trivial source of anti-woke backlash, like unironically. It is really really annoying, and I think it has provided wedges by which anti-wokes can radicalise nerds.
Reading a fiction book rn which is *so* obnoxiously didactic bc the author is *so* anxious you might draw the wrong political conclusion that it's making me anti-woke. Catch me on the Tim pool podcast

I dunno man the way the Queer Community has just bought all of the right wing attacks, incorporated all of their words, and refused to allow transfeminine people specifically to, you know, speak for ourselves and build a body of work that describes us - it's bleak. And awful.

Y’all wanna be toxic soooo bad. Meanwhile, I’m tryna kill every toxic trait within me. I don’t wanna argue, be disrespectful, act cold, or question love.
I wanna be gentle, accountable, emotionally intelligent, supportive, and soft with my person. Real love deserves real peace.
