Those cowards are the reason hateful people are allowed to thrive.
Materially supporting hate is wrong. Allowing hate to flourish because you’re “forced to make uncomfortable choices” is wrong.
Good luck with your next sales quarter, coward. Ask Target how that’s going.

And 4: your customer base is now full of hateful people. Transphobia on its own is extremely wrong, but also once you hate one group of people, it spreads.
And cowards like the kind of person who signs up for some Harry Potter thing and whines about supporting the art and not the artist or whatever

Okay. Indie brands. We have to talk.
That Harry Potter collab is a great way to ensure that if your little company survives the backlash, the customers you have left will be the kind of people who buy TERF shit out of spite or out of being completely checked out.
Sure, their money spends.

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

Medical misogyny makes woowoo happen just as surely as overuse of antibiotics makes MRSA happen.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

Great thread, but I feel like we don't talk enough about mixtapes as a medium of communication of non romantic ideas. E.g. emotional support mixtapes. And "Check *this* out" themed mixtapes in an era when new artist discovery could be *very* difficult
Back when the Deep Magic was written, including REM’s Nightswimming or more than 3 Peter Gabriel OR Indigo Girls songs was code for “I love you.” The tape could be placed in the crush’s locker or “accidentally” left behind in their car, to be experienced in absentia so as not to ruin it.

This is quite possibly the most damaging headline I think I’ve ever seen from the @nytimes.com
It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact
Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible

Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
