Fascists are going to lose.
That's what fascists do. It's who they are. Losers.
Casting your lot with fascist losers makes you a fascist loser, too. It's the transitive property of fascist losers.
When the head fascist loses again, anyone who cast their lot with him are gonna learn that quick.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

The way the Trump regime is trying to inexorably bind Renee Good's queerness to their accusations of "domestic terrorism" cannot go ignored.

there is no academic freedom in texas
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

Care does not happen in psych wards. Stabilization of crisis can happen in psych wards, & it's purely being in a contained environment with doctors all around adjusting meds. The rest of what happens in psych wards is torture. We will need to see the end of the psych ward for mad liberation.

Don’t stuff your alt text with keywords without context. If your alt text is just a collection of keywords, it will just sound like a gibberish string. It won’t describe what’s actually in the image, and won't help a blind user get a context or content of the image.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.
