Progress Pride lights - TSX Building / Times Square, NYC

We’re still here, queer, and fabulous! Progress Pride - TSX building / Times Square, NYC.

Nice to see you here. I remember following you and some exchange we had on the platform which shall not be named back when he who shall not be named got elected the last time. Keep on fighting the good fight! 💪🏽

Scary and inspiring at once.

Cabinet of curiosities

Cabinet of curiosities indeed.

Edit: four men chosen by serial sex offender Donald Trump…

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

With votes still left to count in largely ‘blue states’ what is clear is that the wannabe tin pot dictator and his cabinet of curiosities will at best be representing 22% of the US pop. Nothing says mandate like we the people of the 78%. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It is mind boggling how ready they are to reveal all their greatest fears in a handy list. As one who has likely used the full list in a single essay, I see it as a practical glossary for organizing a coalition, a mass movement. As Foucault taught us: where there is power, there is resistance.

Thanks! I will.

Why Are We Here? A Dispatch from the Nadir

I’m reading more “takes” about how we got here. And they all begin and end with Trump and myopically refuse to see what’s right in front of us. Oh, America. We may be fully lost, but we need to face why. So, I’m reposting my take. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Brilliant and 100% correct. Thank you for your insight and for saying what needs to be said. ✊🏽

Yes, please?

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald J. Trump - Boston Review The tragic reascent of Trump is not an anomaly to democracy but its fatal flaw.

Perhaps Marx inverted his insight about the repetition of history: the first time was farce and this time is tragedy. But one thing is true, democracy spawns its own demagogues… Brillant, thoughtful analysis by Peter E. Gordon.

Indeed.
