This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.
i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

I don't want to sound paranoid but I really, really don't think the nazis are being sincere when they claim to be concerned about antisemitism. Y'know, with them being nazis and all.

The people calling Mahmdani an antisemite and the people campaigning to elect more nazis is the same people. That's where American political discourse is at. "This guy's mild and toothless criticisms of Israel mean he's an antisemite," said the Nazis.

Cis folks: it’s not trans people that are killing trans people. It’s not trans people driving trans people to suicide. It’s not trans people making laws against trans people. It’s cis people doing all those things. Your job tonight and going forward is to make a world where TDOR is obsolete.

Trans folks: you are whole and holy and wholesome and worthy and valid and valuable, as much as any other human being, and more magical than most. Your job tonight is to take care of yourselves and each other and find reasons and ways to keep on living.

So sad about Rebecca Heineman today. I used to call her Trans Gamer Auntie. I saw some interviews with her that were incredibly relatable. As a fan of the old Bard’s Tale games I’ve enjoyed her work. RIP ❤️

This concept only works if you're talking about say, whether Jason Momoa's prestige Apple+ show is worth watching even though he's made piles of unwatchable slop, not - for example! - whether an avowed Nazi saying something you like means they should be platformed over and over. Hope this helps!
The larger discussion of all this is wrapped up in a contemporary notion that I find puzzling of Total Person Endorsement. Nobody can just give props to a single thing people do or make, they feel they have to like and approve of everything about them in order to do so.
You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

Listen I know how this sounds to cis people but the rise in popularity of gender reveal parties maps pretty directly to increased trans visibility. They are a reactionary impulse to further entrench and enforce the gender binary by setting expectations for the child before they’re even born.

A skill I would really like us all to cultivate is saying "I don't think this is a great tactic, but I agree with the cause," and then just moving on with our lives.

Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.
