I do not exaggerate when I say that many of the most FURIOUS and incredibly EFFECTIVE and DEVOTED activists I know are parents or relatives of trans kids.
These fucking "moderates" are alienating MILLIONS and are bound to lose along with the loser fascists they're emulating.

Trying to understand how no one has questioned a $300 million price tag for 90,000 sq ft of space. $3333/sq ft is UTTER INSANITY. The One Thousand Museum building in Miami cost $300 million and has 10 times the square footage. Apple’s headquarters cost $2000/sq ft and One World Trade $1500/sq ft.

/3 But a huge plurality, at least, of the modern GOP is of the opinion that noticing bigoted trash is more un-American and destructive than BEING bigoted trash: that dehumanizing fellow Americans based on immutable characteristics is morally superior to criticizing anyone for doing that.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
