And let's be real here, given his misogynistic behavior re: AOC, there's probably at least a little misogyny at play in his hate of Mills too. When faced with "Nazi" and "Woman who defended trans people", he's still trying to do whatever he can to tank *her* campaign, not Platner's.

It's so helpful when ppl tell other ppl that they're not resisting their own oppression in the correct way.

Someone has to tell the frog guy that Portland is hurting the cause by making serious authoritarianism look silly.

Key word is "they" 😒

Nothing about us without us. And nothing about us from genitally-obsessed bigots.

They've already lost a ton of subscribers just lately. I kinda doubt they're profitable at the moment, though that's just a guess and I have no personal knowledge of their financials.

This one hurts.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

When I was 3, a family friend and a frequent baby sitter who was ~60yo was introduced to me as Aunt Bea. I knew she wasn't my dad's sister or my mom's, but she was Aunt Bea, and I loved her.

And I'm white as baguette dough, so yeah. The whole thing is manufactured bullshit.

This is a truly demonic hit piece, @nytimes.com .

Criticizing a man for pronouncing the name of a country correctly at a time when we have Trump in office shredding the constitution and literally committing war crimes by bombing the boats of non-combatants?

You won't feel shame, but you should.

And how DARE he try to convince voters he respects them, just because he's running for office. Treating voters like they get to decide who appeals to them and use that to decide their vote is tantamount to Islamofascism.

In what context?

The Americans for Servicing their Friends Committee was such a hoot!

I tried to come out at 21, but my abusive partner shut that shit down, & I had to wait until I had gotten away from them.

Queerness was apparent at 12-13? Didn't call myself queer, lesbian, or whatev until I was 23-24. Couldn't figure out what to call it until I was more certain of gender stuff.

I realized I was gender-weird pretty young, but it didn't crystallize for me that I was gender-weird in a major way that other ppl wouldn't accept until I was 8 or 9? Misinformation confused me about gendered terms, so I didn't really name it as anything trans until 20-ish. Came out 22-23. 50s now.

Sure, I'll get back to you soon, but I'm on a brief break, so it may be another hour or two before I hit you up.

If you don't see the links in a couple hours, feel free to remind me. I'm not annoyed when someone points out I've forgotten something (or gotten something wrong!)

I was waiting for this comment. Thank you for making sure I did not go disappointed.

Ah, the good times I had laughing at Dan Quayl.

The only fair conclusion is that Newsom wants trans kids to get lower grades, get no advanced degrees, become addicted to drugs, have kids young, and be more likely to kill themselves.

The status quo merits active efforts to include trans kids in sports. He's doing the opposite. It's evil.

Given that participation in sports increases grades and likelihood of attending college while decreasing drug use, teen & unmarried pregnancy, mental health problems, and isolation -- and given. that social isolation is the #1 predictor of whether a child w depression will attempt suicide -- (cont.)

I've written extensively on this.

it also has to put in the context of the de facto existing ban: Mississippi should have between 400 and 1000 out trans kids in school sports if they participated at the same rate as cis kids. They have 0.

Cali should have thousands. They have dozens.

Great gods of gab, if any "military officials" don't already know that they shouldn't be talking about military operations then this sheet of paper ain't gonna help.

Yoko has gotten a bad rap, and she was indeed innovative, but "innovative" and "listenable" are two different words for a very important reason, and 62.5% of that reason is Yoko Ono.

Separately, it's not non-binary people who are "destroying" access to health care. It's a bunch of people who would throw a party if they were able to eradicate all the enbies of the world.

Brianna Wu's idiocy here is something that we should be long past, but society doesn't listen to racialized people talking about how racialization causes harm any more than it listens to the gender marginalized about how that marginalization causes harm.

"Here is the truth of this "African American" craze:

-It's overwhelmingly pedestrian melanin variation.
-There is no scientific basis for classifying race, nor does any treatment exist."

Neither whether something is "pedestrian" nor whether it's diagnosable is what makes an identity important.

"Kids dressed in halloween costumes walking to a parade" do not present an immediate threat to law enforcement officer and riot control measures may not be used, Ellis says.

It's certainly easy to say that a government that pressures visitors to have sex (especially but not only with people the visitors do not know), that's a bad government. You should not like them, you should not trust them, you should not support them.

"I hate when anyone pressures me to try to do anything sexually."

Yeah! This is a normal reaction. Anyone pressuring anyone else into sex is BAD NEWS BEARS. I recognize that there are plenty of reasons to be furious w the Israeli gov't, and also that I don't have all the facts of this case, but...

Still on the fence for favourite library, but Ypsilanti out here tipping the scales.

"I disagree with all the vitriol," says Newsom, before asserting that we must find a more polite way to exclude trans ppl from public life.

Fuck you.

One of the reasons they get away with this shit is that despite running centrists who value centrism for centrism's sake, candidates are still individuals. So they point to one issue where the candidate attempted nuance or stuck with their values and insist that they weren't a TRUE centrist.
