It costs you a lot more energy to rant and whinge and whine about change than it does to just occasionally check yourself. Stop acting like a victim and do a little better.

Why Can We Be Such Terrible Allies? It is something @robinince.bsky.social has been thinking about a lot lately. Here's a new subs track post from him.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Well, the bigots are at it again. Some hate aimed towards me sent via one of my students who was on the receiving end. Just for me being an ally... I'm a cis het dude, imagine being gay/trans/a woman etc at the moment? The hate is real and is so much worse for them.

I don't care about watching a gen Z homophobic, transphobic attention seeker fight a convicted rapist boomer and neither should you.
By watching this shit you're supporting terrible people and their terrible actions.
