Equating trans rights with some sort of ideological purity is idiotic at best. It's about recognizing human rights in a democracy, and people cannot be used as tools for bartering. Nobody is a bargaining chip.

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

anyone cowardly enough to think that selling a minority group out is also cowardly enough to get on board if we are powerful enough, gotta just ignore those people, they dont have any principles at all. they'll come home if we are dominant enough

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!

It's the golden rule of grievance politics: you will never be happy. You are a permanent captive to the infinity goalpost.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I stayed in Little Mabou for several days last October and loved every moment (it was grey and rainy and windy and perfect). I passed through West Mabou when we took a drive around during a break in the weather, and it was gorgeous. If there's any petition to be signed, I'll sign it.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

shocking that a man who 40 years ago called for the death penalty against a bunch of kids who it turned out were railroaded would behave like this in his dotage

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
