If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Harvey Fierstein has used art to uplift, to educate, to protest, to challenge, to speak up and speak out. This is the power and burden of art. It's why those who seek to control and subjugate attempt to erase it. There is courage in creation that those who seek to limit it will never understand.

Keep it up
Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.

The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

Please remember that you can't trust any politician who's willing to deny trans people their rights.

That kind of "leader" will throw any and all of us under the bus if they think it benefits them.

New Yorkers, D.R.E.A.M. - Don't Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor.
1. Andrew Cuomo, a frontrunner for NY Mayor, has tapped an ex-employee of "the Coalition to Protect Kids," an anti-trans org, to serve as his treasurer.

His campaign would not commit to EITM that it would protect gender affirming care.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Every House Republican just voted to defund Medicaid. Reminder: there are no moderate Republicans in Congress, and stop pretending there are.

Tonight there's millions of queer kids sitting down to watch The Big Game with their families and despising every second of it but having to smile and pretend so no one sees how menaced they feel.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own.

BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin KILL Biden nominee for Nat'l Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which would've meant Dem majority till '26

Instead Trump gets to set labor rules

So when EVERYONE in America loses overtime - as Project 2025 promises - thank Sinema and Manchin
