We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

I am old enough to remember when even plenty of liberals talked about ICE and Homeland Security this way, how even the terms were creepily police state and surely the next Dem president would roll it back.
Then the Obama administration expanded it, so they accepted it. And here we are.

When ICE was founded by George W Bush many many people immediately said it was Gestapo-like and predicted it would be used exactly as it's being used today, and that DHS, also founded by George W Bush, would function as its infrastructure and logistics support, like the SS.

like guess can't even get the tinyist crumb of representation. and the pilot was really good too. so many good themes that imo come really really together when you read frankie as transfem. so fucking baffling ??? like how'd you write that on ACCIDENT
really fucked up thing to say after writing a character that is so transfem coded that literally all other transfems i know were convinced it's actually just canon. then what was the fucking point of the whole abusive sparky deadnaming & transphobia scene? you know, no "special treatment"???
Frankie is cis, she just has a lot of nicknames.
I have friends who call me Dan, DBO, Danny. Just happens sometimes.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.
As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.
it's funny fascists think trans women are insecure about whether we are really women, when the world treats us like women
being harassed by the bouncer at the local bar and then saying "maybe I'm lesbian too" after my friend said I'm lesbian is a very degrading experience specific to women

ive noticed something snaps in people's minds when you point out that "liking women is gay" in our patriarchal society. that is to say, treating women as humans, keeping women at the center of your life & relationships, being close w/ women, etc, socially codes you as an effeminate or as a tribade
People are confused when you tell them how often transphobes are attracted to trans women.
Because too few of them realize how many straight men sleep with women *because* they despise them and see them as lesser.

It's nonsense. There have been members of minorities in nazi lone wolf terror as long as it's existed. But there's no reason to collude in the idea that it's a trans problem.
