It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

I don't care about 'who's next?' as much as I care about trans people *right now* and if more people cared about trans people *right now* they wouldn't have to worry about 'who's next?'

Your annual reminder that the Last Supper was not a Passover seder, Jesus’ experience of Passover was fundamentally different from ours, and if your church does a seder that’s gross cultural appropriation.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.
it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers
This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

"Violence never does anything" is the propaganda they'll reiterate to convince you that the violence from which YOU suffer (re: Healthcare crisis) is normal and natural, but the minute you realize you don't deserve it, you're suddenly the bad guy.
To all those dorks that said "violence never fixes anything!" I would like to offer a counter-argument:

This article is being blasted around the Fox News mediasphere to shame the chair of USA Fencing after a publicity stunt this week by an anti-trans fencer. I thought I'd share it too because it's actually awesome.

The emails Elisa leaked to reporters led to some of the most significant stories on the anti-trans right ever published. It was an act of courage, Evan Urquhart writes, because it meant taking responsibility herself.

She turned away from anti-trans activism and leaked a trove of emails that exposed the inner workings of the right-wing network dedicated to rolling back our rights. It was a great gift to the trans c...

Ally is a verb.
I'm supposed to be at
Sweet Briar College, where I was so excited to meet with the amazing students, faculty, and staff who organized my visit & made Mobility their Common Read. Hours before my flight I learned about their Board's exclusion of trans & nonbinary people. So now I'm not going.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky
