PSA: Stop asking me to donate money. Just stop doing it. Go ask someone who can actually afford it. It must be nice that you think that I can afford something like that. So I’m going to keep the money for my own self for my own survival. And I’m not being selfish.

It's not that I want their approval so much that dammit, these ARE real cases and I AM a real lawyer and I have the student loan payments to prove it. My clients are real people and their lives are fucking important.

I know it *shouldn't* bother me when another attorney or a judge makes a snarky comment asking when I plan to become a "real lawyer" or "get a job doing real work" or "don't you want to handle real cases someday" but ngl, it very much does.

Honoring Alice Wong's life and legacy with gratitude, in solidarity and sorrow, this morning. I was a fan; thinking of all who loved and knew her personally.

Alice's words speak to us still. As a chronically ill person, I will keep listening. What a beautiful, bold, *brilliant* life well lived.

So we are going to bring forth a world where anyone who wants to be a lone wolf is welcome to walk into the woods without a single damn thing a global community made for him, and perish howling at the moon.

The rest of us will live in a society.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

I am tired of scrolling through YouTube shorts and seeing beefy conspiratorial clowns declare cooked food and vaccines and the very presence of a foreign person to be anathema to their delusional vision of a perfect, homogenous, walled-off society.

We did not evolve to be ALPHA CHADS, actually.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Alice Wong was a fierce advocate for disabled rights. One of the first disabled people I ever saw go on national TV just to talk about how our existences are politicized.

May she rest in peace.
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Wes Moore using a company that is AI to help people after stating that he wanted privacy rights in the state of Maryland is a huge red flag. Anthropic is a HUGE privacy violation.

this AI initiative is a high risk system according to Maryland's own ​​AI Risk Classification System.

why wasn't this mentioned? what safeguards are involved? where's the mandatory AI Risk Assessment report that's supposed to be made?

If you are saying you need to protect girls by keeping us out of women's spaces but then turning around and defending Epstein, WHAT, PRAY TELL, ARE YOU PROTECTING THEM *FROM* EXACTLY?
Gotta be honest, it absolutely sucks watching the same people who call me a groomer just for being trans say that Epstein did nothing wrong because his victims were teenagers.

PEOPLE WOULD RATHER THEIR KIDS BE RAPED THAN BE TRANS.

And it is INFURIATING.

"People would rather their kids be raped than be trans"

This is such a sad and true statement. This country was built on rape. Rape of indigenous people. Rape of black slaves. The desire of rich old white supremacists to assert total bodily control over anyone who isn't them. Rape is the status quo

Thinking this morning about my mother, who refused to accept having a queer child of any kind and sat shiva for me for being trans, who also defended child rape the same way Megyn Kelly did by saying "sometimes things get hot and heavy with jailbait and you forget to ask her age. It happens."

How many times did the NYT write about Claudine Gay?

When it came time to attack a Black woman, they couldn’t stop themselves.

We need to be able to talk about the harms being done in Chicago openly. And same with other states in the future. We need to be able to also talk about police violence and police harm because ICE is violent and dangerous. ICE gets people harmed. And people need to stop censoring people on this app.

A great interview with Professor Mahmood Mamdani in which he discusses his new memoir, the shortcomings of the boycott as a political tool and its implementation in the anti colonial movement, academic freedom, libraries, and the relationship between scholarship and politics.

No talk of Zohran!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Brianna was murdered.

She wasn't murdered because she had a phone.

She wasn't murdered because she was on social media.

She was murdered because two violent teenagers were emboldened by the years of transphobic policy and mainstream media coverage.
