Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats. Julia Serano responds in a forum on β€œHow Not to Defeat Authoritarianism.”

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Wonder Man review – a Marvel TV show with almost no superhero action … and it’s all the better for it This gem of a series, about an actor with superpowers, is a clever, tender take on male friendship and the film industry. It’s a triumph of storytelling – and a masterclass in acting

Absolutely loved it (including the Doorman episode).

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I don't want to celebrate how Ilhan Omar was ready to throw down. Tired of valorizing Black women as fighters, that dude should have been stopped and stomped out before he got close to her.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity β€” tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isnβ€˜t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

We silently held up ABOLISH ICE signs during the anthem, and security came to our seats and said if we didn't hand them over they would have LASD remove us from the game. I asked if it was the stadium rules, and security said it was the team's decision. So there's that.

I love all y’all’s enthusiasm about this story, but you need a reality check here.

One German member. One…asked for this.

And that member is the president of St. Pauli. (those in the know, just went β€œOhhh! Yup, that checks out!”)

St. Pauli is antifa in sports club form. 1)

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving β€˜em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.
