A lot of what's coming is going to be very very hard, & as I've said before, I'm honestly scared, every day. But the only thing to do in all of this is fight all we can, however we can, large or small, even if that just means your survival, because we don't know what will make the difference. (2/2)

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

The comments I’m getting from folks on Xiaohongshu are so incredibly kind and often talk about how we’re all one big family.

If the US Government just sparked the next step in forging a global community because they tried to maintain their xenophobia across five generations, that would be hilarious

Woooo boy that means my writing is...yeahhhhh 🫠. I love em dashes. I love them so so much.
Apparently folks think that writing that contains an em dash is a dead giveaway that it's from ChatGPT, which I guess is a sign that most people have never read anything in their lives.

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

ASL is so profoundly different from English that d/Deaf children have a significantly harder time learning to read it than their hearing peers; some never do. closed captioning is an important access tool but doesn't cover everyone's needs.
🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊

It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally.

ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags.

Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

The thing about this is they're hurting their own chances of finding women who find them attractive? Like long eye lashes are a thing Women Love On Men. At least, in my personal experience 🤷‍♂️
I want someone to follow up on these dudes in about… two weeks; specifically, I want to know exactly how many eye infections they're combating at that point, because i'm guessing it will be SO MANY 🤣
The "Alpha Bros" are shaving off their eyelashes because long lashes are too feminine. 🙄

Every once in a while, I decide to paint.

I've been doing this for over a year now and it never really gets old ❤️

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself.

Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue.

So, who is doing identity politics?
all she did was exist

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

Literally we have safety regulations because people literally— *Literally*— bled and died for them.
i just wish people understood that there isn't a company in business that won't take dangerous shortcuts without regulations. that's why we have them.

A very detailed write up of the no-brainer that is UBI. For over 10 years I’ve seen this develop at a snail’s pace. It’s not a silver bullet for every woe, but it covers such a large set of woes it is bonkers that it’s not everywhere by now.
UBI is literally an income boost for the entire bottom 60% of the population, which can also be seen as a tax cut. The belief it will lead to inflation is wrong-headed, especially a poverty level UBI. It will also grow the economy and lead to much savings.

No. They mean trans people. They're talking about trans people. That's what the "weirdness that affects my kids" dog whistle is - this dude is laundering the right wing lie that we are out to forcibly convert cis children. Acknowledge attacks on us and name them.
when they say “freaks” they literally just mean people who think human rights are good
