I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal.
the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state

can't normalize without normies. make your peace with this now
Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit.
Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

This is basically the attitude of democrats up and down the ticket and it’s pathetic and unamerican
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

I've said before that the core storyline of film noir is "an amoral person meets an immoral person and must, reluctantly, make a moral choice."
Europe got ravaged by two wars. People wondered if classical morality meant anything in a modern era.
Noir said, "Yes, it does."

Here's a mind-twister for some people. Noir is optimistic. I'm serious. Doomed protagonists, horrible options, bad choices, devastating consequences. All that and they keep going. Yeah, they're horrible people. They do horrible things. But in spite of all evidence they still think they can succeed.
