and since no one gave a shit except other trans people I reserve the right to bitch about all of it all the time. xoxox

yeah I'm fucking salty today because I had to tell my sisters that we might have to postpone a trip we've been planning for years because I'm not sure I can leave the country. and yeah yeah privileged people problems. but I have been screaming about this trend for years

as if the people who want to exterminate my community will stop with us. scapegoating us won't protect your passport. every concession you give these people is taken as permission to be ever more extreme. they do not have limits.

and now I have to live with the threat of my passport being revoked on a whim by the federal government just because they can. and then the so-called progressive political space tells me to stop putting purity tests on dems who go for sports bans or health care bans for trans kids

ACB said, well there's no history of legal discrimination against trans people (wild fucking take but okay) so they can't be a protected class, and the US government said, okay bet

so-called textualists when they see the equal protection clause

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

alleged Catholic JD Vance shits on Matthew 25:40, calls the Son of God an NPC

new work notebook takes inspo from @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. gleeful nihilism is the attitude we're taking to politics these days.

to new yorkers (city) from a former new yorker (upstate) don't rank the dark prince/mob boss/ex-governor snorkeljacket. he made the corrupt hellscape of albany politics a thousand times worse and has no respect for anything but his own ambition.

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY???

*This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote.
It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

tbh you're worse than fox news because you couch your shit in "both sides", "perhaps we shoulder consider" bullshit rhetoric. just say you hate us. and stop spouting disproven bullshit and transphobic talking points like reasonable ideas. all of you are shitbag cowards.

@nytimes.com have you considered not gleefully publishing transphobic shit to celebrate a devastating scotus decision? I know the majority cited you a whole bunch, but now that you've fucked over our kids and perhaps all of us, maybe stop acting like we're radical extremists for wanting to exist

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."

SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"

Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

Shorter Alito's concurrence: "The majority said the law doesn't discriminate against transgender status. I disagree. I think it does discriminate against transgender status and that's good."

He's just completely given up on the game and is happy to tell everyone what the majority really believes.

I just don't think that someone with such rancid fucking vibes and total disrespect for both other human people and also the law should be on the nation's highest court.

my hobbies now include manifesting evil spirits to haunt sam alito for all time

Apparently AI has been listening to the pod... @strictscrutiny.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social

I've said it before: the constitution of the United States of America is fundamentally a gentleman's agreement, and all the gentlemen are dead

To people saying “it’s a temporary ruling,” those people are missing the point.

This stay allows the military to IMMEDIATELY begin to let go of soldiers. Those soldiers will need jobs, pay, shelter.

And it clearly indicates where SCOTUS is on trans people.

godard: all you need for a movie is a girl and a gun

shakespeare: all you need for a play is a twink and a wig

star trek: all you need for an episode is some foam rocks, a latex forehead piece, and someone who's been in a shakespeare play

do we think sam alito knows gay and trans catholics exist.

this morning on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social , leah suggests "opt[ing] in sam alito to some actually gay content. full on clockwork orange, we're watching drag race together." may I suggest making him watch the entire filmography of john waters. it won't fix him, but it might break his brain.

Not a dime, not an inch of
support for for any candidate who doesn’t start with “everyone who committed a crime during his administration will be prosecuted.”

FWIW this is why I’d rather see AOC stay in Congress or the Senate because I want the Article I branch to become scary powerful again.

HAPPY MISS CONGENIALITY DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!

what I'm holding onto is the "opportunity and obligation to rebuild." there is a lack of vision on the left right now, and what I want more than anything is the chance to build a better world. not just stop fascism, but build something beautiful and lasting for the people.

"this current administration in washington, they're not forever. these small, petty men will disappear into the dustbin of history, and when they do, there will be an opportunity and an obligation to actually rebuild government so that it works for working people."
