Spent like 3 hours conveying to my fundamentalist christian dad why tariffs are not good for you and how voters should leverage their numbers to pressure elected officials to get results for their class.
Did it work? No. But I feel better that he was willing to listen.

There are no "plum jobs in women's sport" as well.

At the peak of Britain's women's pro cycling boom in the 2010s, leading women Olympic cyclists who were being feted as national treasures were busy doing second jobs to cover their work as "professional" athletes.

Rowling has attacked Wu here for being stereotypically feminine, but on the other hand has attacked another trans woman for being "large" and "tattooed."

You can't win.

The readers of a news outlet should come away better informed about the subject of the stories the news outlet prints.

On the proposed purchase of Greenland, is it possible that trump is planning to use the deported migrants as forced labour to extract rare earth metals there that we can't mine here or am I reading into his dumb ass logic too much ?

I want to start a trans commune in Australia. We'll spar with kangaroos, grow fruit, and reignite the emu wars

It is incredibly tiring to note, repeatedly, that anti-trans politics lead inevitably to conservative antifeminism and an opposition to gender autonomy writ large, and to continually be unheeded until the connection is too obvious to ignore or deny.

BREAKING: Amazon warehouse workers in Garner, NC have filed for a union election after three years of organizing.

If they win, RDU1 would be the second unionized warehouse in the U.S.

I'm experiencing a personal crisis at the moment.
A choice between once again having no food money or moving home to my Christo fascist family.
It's looking like there's only one choice and it's my personal nightmare. Hopefully I'll be out sooner than later

Last time they came for us, it looked a lot like right now - we survived then too
As the world remembers the Transgender people we've lost, we remember how, even at times of the worst violence - our community survives

What is wrong with saying this? Isn't this the baseline for understanding how misogyny hurts people ?

A lovely tribute to Sir Lady Java, a legendary trans drag performer who, in 1967 with the help of the ACLU, led the charge against a Los Angeles law banning crossdressing on stage. She was 82.

Long before the term “drag queen” was widely used, her burlesque act was popular in the Black entertainment world but barred under a municipal code.

This is tragic...
Congress has passed the NDAA, which contained a provision banning the coverage of gender affirming care for the children of active duty military.

This is the first anti-LGBTQ bill to pass congress in almost 3 decades but certainly won't be the last.

This will be Biden's legacy.

The only reason you should ever debate a fascist is if they have momentum. Otherwise you're just giving them a platform
