I've had multiple incidents w/ ppl who are pissed I have a handicap placard when I can walk. I have invisible disabilities & have that bc I can't walk far & it gives me more energy to actually do things. Unfortunately it hasn't stopped assholes from leaving nasty notes or outright screaming in my

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

This is how liberals want to use our identities; to advance harm. And exactly why I say representation in film being a person who looks like me is fine. But representation in politics is only and exclusively someone who either shares or will fight to advance my values, like Less Harm.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 1d

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.

It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country.

Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

From this to vaccines, "parental rights" has always been a catchall term used to exert control over others. Esp their kids.

It's interesting how they bitch about "indoctrination" as if that isn't exactly what they're doing themselves by demanding their beliefs are prioritized and others silenced.
