I'm getting tired of the "homophobes are really just self-hating, closeted gays" trope that seems to come up everywhere. Has that happened? Absolutely. But it implies generally that gay people are responsible for their own oppression. Are straight people not homophobic? #pride #pridemonth

Transphobia has existed in few cultures. Unfortunately, one of them has been the culture that has overtaken the western world. In many others, gender-nonconforming people have been celebrated / praised / elevated. We live in one where they are demonized #trans #gender #jkrowling #transrights

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?
How about the working class against the oligarchy?
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
New: Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade deal with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, the first agreement for the administration since it imposed sweeping tariffs against its trading partners last month @theguardian.com story TK

"Gender ideology" conveniently assumes that the western imaginary of gender is natural, preeminent, intrinsic. It's not. The most powerful "gender ideology" today is the one that bifurcates sex into two unassailable, essential entities and attaches gender as a wagon to them #trans #jkrowling
The policing of gender binary differences can only lead to the very same problem modern feminism has been fighting for centuries: the constraining of what any given gender does / can / ought to do #transrights #trans #jkrowling #gender #openyourmindjoanneplease
The irony of JK decrying death-threats while implying that all trans people are rapists and even identifying specific people by name... Your integrity is gone, Joanne. Whatever you might see otherwise has to be confirmation bias if not bald bigotry #transrights #jkrowling #trans #lgbtq

Oh Joanne. Take a breath, go to the park, pet a dog, throw a frisbee. You'll feel better in the morning. Many thoughts about the tirade but this stands above all others: for goodness sake please take care of yourself, J. #transrightsarehumanrights

It’s comically gendered. “don’t you worry your pretty little head about the dolls and the strollers, we’re focused on manly gasoline.”
It’s like a degrowth that also increases C02 emissions. “We need to shrink the economy so we can consume more gasoline and spend less on children”
Trump: "When you say strollers are going up -- what kind of a thing? I'm saying that gasoline is going down. Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller someplace ... you don't need to have 35 dolls. You can have 2, 3, 4, and save a lot of money. We don't need to feed the beast."

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.”
I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia for one has never been found guilty by a court of law in the USA OR El Salvador. Why would be be imprisoned for any reason?
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Barnard 68…The dark hole in the Space
It is not actually a hole but a molecular cloud that is so dark no light can pierce through it, leaving the stars and galaxies behind it invisible from our view.
