The most brilliant, tenacious, caring, resourceful, and creative people you will ever meet are current or former sex workers. They're the pole star of every important fight in our lives and in the future that comes after us.

Your activism will either include sex workers or it will be useless. We can't build a better future by leaving the best of us behind.

It should be called the "Swim Faster You Mediocre Idiot Act"

Sorry to sound melodramatic but this is downright evil and will kill people

apparently today we get Jesse Singal in the New York Times with the "gender-affirming care is new & experimental" 🙃

Budget overruns are exceedingly common without increases in resources to meet them

An image of a New York Times Opinion Guest Essay titled "Medical Associations Trusted Belief Over Science on Youth Gender Care," published February 24, 2026. The article is written by Jesse Singal. Below the headline is an illustration featuring a person in green medical scrubs with a stethoscope around their neck; the top half of their face is obscured by a large transgender pride flag (consisting of horizontal blue, pink, and white stripes). The bottom of the screenshot includes a "Listen to this article" player and a brief bio of the author. Would you like me to help you draft a response or an analysis of the arguments presented in this essay?

Jesse Singal is back to spike the football on the backs of trans youth. Congrats man, you got care banned in most of the country, families are fleeing the country, and trans kids are killing themselves.

Happy now?

If you’re rich and care about trans rights then please help me

If you’re not rich and care about trans rights please boost my posts

If you’re trans am like I am then Godspeed , you beautiful car girl and I hope you survive too

1. Trans people are terrorists
2. Forced detransition in prisons
3. Extermination of trans people

The die is cast, the rules are revealed.

So given the well-established carcerality of the US regime this is just legalizing forcible detransition

Just exist?

New law puts Kansas at vanguard of denying trans identities on drivers licenses, birth certificates Kansas is set to invalidate about 1,700 driver's licenses held by transgender residents and roughly as many of their birth certificates.

Roughly 1,700 trans people in Kansas are going to have their driver's licenses and birth certificates revoked this week.

If you see another trans person expressing despair, maybe don't quote post them with a post about how illogical their feelings sound, how you know better than to despair. Don't condescend to people going through it. You just sound like an unsympathetic asshole

An interesting read, if you can stomach the creepy grossness. But I would like to add that MAGA, and conservatives generally, have never been normal about Asian women.

CBC article on this. It's appalling.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Me: WTF
Boss: Hahaha I put your name forward, prove to them how useless it is so we don't have to use it
Me: goddammit why is this my job

This passage, from Spectres of Marx, on the "event" as the arrivant or arrival, the foreigner, as the very possibility of hospitality, justice, democracy, and the future, as that which exceeds a "horizon of expectation," is probably my favourite passage in all of Derrida. I cry every time I read it.

Woah, my ideological peers dicussing whether or not I deserve rights? Thankfully as a progressive, this would surely never happen to me, haha

"[Shurat HaDin]'s campaign against The Maple is the latest incident in a nearly year-long effort by pro-Israel forces ... to shut us down and imprison me. The campaign was sparked by my reporting on Canadians who join the Israeli military."

Full post below. “My reporting on marginalized children is the result of an internet beef with a marginalized adult from the same community” is the dictionary definition of disqualifying

(g) (1) Any driver's license issued prior to July 1, 2026, that identifies the gender of the individual named on such license in a manner that is contrary to the definition of such term as defined in K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 77-207, and amendments thereto, shall be invalid. (2) The director shall correct any driver's license records that identify the gender of the individual named in such record in a manner that is contrary to the definition of such term as defined in K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 77-207, and amendments thereto. The director shall send written notice to each such individual notifying such individual that such license is invalid and to surrender such license to the division of vehicles. Upon the surrender of any such license, the director shall issue a new driver's license to such individual with the correct gender identification for such individual.

KANSAS JUST ENACTED A BILL THAT INVALIDATES AND REVOKES THE DRIVER'S LICENSES OF TRANS PEOPLE.

We cannot have a rational debate about technology. As long as we rely on screens rather than on forests and sunsets to soothe our pain, we will fight to defend the screens, not the forests.

We are collectively making out with a gun to feel better. We are being sold more poison as a cure for the poison.
