Someone tell Newsom to stop attacking the trans Democrats who have problems with him.

Anyways, I wrote a book about two siblings surviving abuse that is very good and meaningful irregardless of whether or not it is an “identity book” and it deserves to be seen.

We deserve to be able to write about more than this fucked up moment we live in. Our books deserve to be seen and respected even when they can’t simply be marketed as “that transgender book.” And we deserve more than an industry that demands constant commentary on the transphobia it perpetuates

Stories about transphobia are important. But in this industry, trans authors are denied platforms unless our books are a reflection of transphobia in some way. What is valued about our stories is not the creativity or craft, but the commentary on a world that hates us.

Trans literature has value because trans authors are human beings telling stories in their unique ways. It is profoundly frustrating to see trans authors are only valued when we write about transphobia or when we write hopeful trans stories intended to serve as an antidote to transphobia

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away.

We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

As trans people are under assault in this country — e.g., being falsely blamed for the Kirk murder — California is strengthening protections for them.

Two bills I’m authoring (SB 59 & 497) to protect trans people’s health & court record privacy passed the Legislature & are heading to the Governor.

Adorable!

A truly remarkable legislator, wife, and mother of two--gunned down in her prime while police cowered scared outside her home.

BREAKING: Federal judge in Los Angeles issues preliminary injunction against Department of Homeland Security to restrict use of force against press, legal observers and protesters.

Judge in LA Press Club v. Noem calls out "surprising savagery" of DHS officers:

"The First Amendment demands better."

Kirk didn't "engage" with others in "discourse" in any meaningful sense, and certainly not in a sense any of us should emulate. His every interaction was in bad faith. He viewed none of his interlocutors as moral equals in an exchange of ideas, but as mere means to advance is propagandistic ends.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

And they wonder why fewer people are going to the movies:

All these people are rich beyond imagining. There's no reason to take this gig beyond making it clear they don't give a fuck about trans people.

What we're seeing is further evidence of the modern trend of paying lip service to diversity and inclusion because it looks good while personal actions reveal that it's actually all just about self-interest.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Wild to say the left doesn’t value hard work and family while the right is out there kidnapping people who are working hard to support their families

Probably worth repeating on main: evangelical Christians have their own books, movies, community spaces, and organized events. They have a robust echo chamber and they build political power by getting folks to join it.

As everyone knows, when evangelicals siloed themselves off into insular communities and built their own media ecosystems, it was the end of their political power in the US.

This absolute banger
