"Whether we are urged to be civil to racists, polite to patriarchy, or obedient to decorum when opposing a fascist, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy, to maintain the power of fascism."

I lived there in 2001 ($600/month back then) and can corroborate.

My upstairs neighbor had a big dog that would pee rivers, which would come down to my unit, and then through my floor to the unit below. Then my downstairs neighbor would scream and threaten to kick my ass. Good times!

You have a duty to deliver for hardworking Americans like @algreen.house.gov.

Your vote to censure was an act of extreme cowardice. Pathetic.

It was a really good use of your time then to vote to censure @algreen.house.gov.

Spineless and pathetic. Well done!

This is a truly pathetic response and a show of extreme cowardice.

You can say you support @algreen.house.gov all you want but the truth is in your actions.

Hint: You can't fight fascism with norms and decorum.

On second thought...you can, but you will lose.

Maybe take a beat before patting yourself on the back for your bravery.

Voting to censure @algreen.house.gov is an act of extreme cowardice. Pathetic.

Speaking of debasing oneself for proximity to power, voting to censure @algreen.house.gov is pathetic you fucking coward.

Voting to censure @algreen.house.gov is pathetic.

Way to "fight back against actions taken by the new administration" you fucking coward.

This happened yesterday evening so it's almost old news now but good news is good news and we (I) gotta remember to pause and fist bump for that.

Politico: Democrats plan a different kind of response to Trump’s big speech

Their less pugilistic approach is the latest sign the party is still coming to terms with how to confront the president.

The "less pugilistic approach" is also a sign Democrats should be widely primaried

thanks for addressing. I guess it just feels like substack is leaning into the nazi thing pretty hard...

still, I don't quibble with anything you say & know you have a better pulse on white supremacy & how to fight it than i do.Β 

thanks again. can't wait to laugh big when you're in Bloomington.

love you so much @wkamaubell.bsky.social! Thanks for being so consistently thoughtful, righteous and hilarious!

While you're out here taking nazis to the woodshed, i respectfully request you consider moving away from Substack (who loves revenue sharing with nazis! fuck!)

to be fair, Zelenskyy was prepared for this and handed him his ass.

100% I would vote for Zelenskyy.

appreciate you.

this is super helpful info, thanks. I'd seen what i would classify as generally a fact based human rights reporting policy (which to me is synonymous with pro-trans but is not really a stance).

any insight into why trans employees globally have been pushed out/made to feel like they should leave?

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S. Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

fair enough. i was not aware and appreciate the heads up.

my at large take on the Guardian (and i don't look at everything they publish, obvs) is that tend to care more for accuracy in their reporting than what i've come to expect from NYT and the like, but maybe i need to take a closer look...
