Unapologetic purveyor of gender ideology a/k/a trans-inclusive feminism, anti-fascist polemics, political hot takes, stray observations, and nifty things. Cringe, but in an earnest, endearing way.😸

Why are all the free-speech warriors on the right so silent right now? Also, this was a choice on the part of the Univ. of Alabama

The University of Alabama recently suspended two university-funded student magazines. This action was taken due to a memo issued by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in July 2025. The two magazines...

It’s been an evolving part of employment discrimination law since the 1990s that transgender-based discrimination is unlawful. While the rationale shifted from an anti-stereotyping principle toward textualism, this is settled law. This Administration is a menace to civil rights and the rule of law.

Republicans will make a historic mistake if they don’t agree to a deal to restore ACA subsidies. You can’t be the party of “No” forever.

This administration loves to talk about saving “Western Civilization.” Besides being an obvious fascist rhetorical framework, I ask how does it advance “Western Civilization” when you abandon your western partners on the world stage over issues like stopping catastrophic climate change?

Not to mention his own words caught on tape about grabbing women!
In a just world we wouldn’t even need the Epstein files to believe Trump is a predator. A bunch of women have already said so. Plus a jury even found him liable.

Has it occurred to anyone yet that the tens of thousands of government workers let go over the last year are a big part of why the economy’s slowing down?

Reminder:
Green energy doesn't require war with oil-rich countries.
It's also sustainable and doesn't pollute our air.
It is also the future of the planet at large.
If we choose oil, we choose our own extinction.
So war for oil/oil = bad
Green energy = good
Thank you for attending my ted talk.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

The SecDef would be wise to read the Constitution before posting anti-constitutional attacks on Senator Mark Kelly.

The Incompatibility Clause:

"...and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."

Art. 1, Sec. 6, Cl. 2.

This is also why a narrow focus on trans rights as somehow removed from class war, prison abolition, anti-fascism, the fight against racism and multiple other oppressions just doesn't face reality.

We don't live our lives that way. Our enemies never just attack us with one weapon in their arsenal.

The irony about notorious transphobe Marjorie Taylor Green is that for the first time in her life she’s likely felt, with all the attacks from Trump and his MAGA misogynists, something similar to how trans women are feeling under his despotism.

We gave Ukraine security guarantees to convince them to give up their nukes in the early 90’s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We owe them so much more than this.

The Holy See delegate just got booed on the plenary floor, given his whole point was basically to define gender as "biological sex". This fight over the definition of gender has been ongoing at COP.
Really, we're due to 3-4ºC warming, and this is the priority of the Church. (though who's surprised?)

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

We’re hearing helicopters and word is spreading of massive ICE raids tomorrow and Friday particularly in Gwinnett. These excessive raids put all of us in danger. Spread the word, look out for each other, and remember your rights.

"The right’s gripe isn’t just that trans people exist, but that their existence is tearing down the old world—of good men, obedient women, traditional family structures—& unleashing a new, godless age of chaos & precarity on you."

Hard to believe that MTG would become the MAGA bandwagon-rider with the most integrity in the end but hey, when an entire party abandons its scruples in deference to an obvious corrupt psychopath like Trump and people like Mike Johnson debase themselves to protect him, it creates an opportunity
