I was diagnosed with PTSD because of domestic abuse that broke bones and almost my spirit. Every day when I am unlucky enough to see the Orange Menace bullying people (mainly reporters) it is triggering. But I watch because I have to. Never forget, never forgive.

I’ve noticed a trend where women — and especially trans women — go hard to defend each other from sexual harassment on here, but I really wish dudes would throw around their privilege and standing with other dudes to defend us too

To reinforce rah's point, every loophole imaginable is being deployed *right now* to allow government actors to shut off access to websites and ban books. It's not really about porn, or even LGBTQ works; it's about establishing a precedent to ban *any* speech the right disapproves of.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

The recent LA fires shed light on a troubling practice in California: the use of incarcerated individuals to fight wildfires.

This system, which utilizes an exception in the 13th Amendment, raises serious human rights concerns.

Due To “Slavery Clause,” 30% Of LA Fires Are Being Fought By Inmates
30% of those battling the Los Angeles wildfires are Inmates firefighters. There maximum day rate of $10.24 is due to the 13th Amendment's 'Slavery Clause'. Is this fair?

Amazon is paying Melania Trump a hefty amount of cash to produce a documentary about her.

It will be directed by Brett Ratner, who hasn’t made a Hollywood movie since being accused of sexual harassment by multiple women in 2017.

Please don't watch it.

The misogyny of this display is ... something.

He snubbed the first woman to serve as VPOTUS while she was performing her duties.

And in doing so, he made his wife's professional moment about himself and his petty grievances.

LADIES, ALWAYS CHOOSE THE BEAR.
The husband of Republican senator Deb Fischer just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris.

The level of class you can expect from MAGA.

We must not allow a man who has a fetish for dead animals, who has sexual assault allegations against him, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, who drove his wife to take her own life, and who has a nematode in his brain – to make *any* health decisions for *anyone*.

Elon just endorsed a Pierre Poilievre interview with Jordan Peterson, after endorsing the neo-Nazi AfD in Germany, after pushing Nigel Farage in the UK, after pushing Trump in America. A multinational selection of the worst available options, and it's just a shame that Canada, right now, agrees.

Again for the people in the back:

Transphobia also harms cis women.

Why?

Because transphobia is rooted in misogyny.

Feminism is only genuine if it is inclusive and intersectional. Otherwise, it’s BS.
A cis Black woman was chased out of the women’s bathroom of the RUSD meeting in Riverside last Thursday for being a “transgender in the wrong bathroom” in case you hadn’t heard.

In case it was unclear where this was going all along.

A great #winterbiking thread re: snow as evidence of municipal priorities here.
PS: in Oulu, Finland, the municipality plows snow from the bike & pedestrian lanes *first*, does not allow snow to accumulate to more than 2 cm ever, & starts plowing the car lanes last.
