Like the idea greeting MTG is a no risk, no cost move simply isn’t true for trans people who are currently being targeted by her and experiencing a push with the Democratic party in the name of pragmatism.

These days, former nightlife star and '70s trans icon Rachel Billebault, once known around the world as Harlow, is known by her neighbors in the Greater Northeast as a sweet — and still quite beautiful — senior lady who mostly keeps to herself. (1/3)
Harlow's still here
Fifty years ago, Harlow was the queen of Philadelphia nightlife, Jack Kelly’s girlfriend, and the city's most famous transgender woman. Today, she’s ready to tell her story.

When you read Parker's skeet, it isn’t obvious to me that it isn’t responsive to the prompt. The design of the commentary invited a very diverse set of responses. I suspect it could’ve integrated the assigned reading more, but 0/25 and a comment about being “nasty” screams viewpoint discrimination.

🧵I often get mobbed when I say this, but it was a mistake for liberals & leftists to cede "western civilization" to the fascists. "The West" and "Western" are important political identities. Abandoning them is no smarter than refusing to offer a positive vision of American national identity.

i really didn't like her interview with klein, but i also recognize that i'm not one of her constituents and that things like this are laudable
This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation

no please, *do* go deeper into the "Joe McCarthy did nothing wrong" rabbit hole
Andrews is just monologuing, she's subjecting Douthat to the exact experience I'm sure many of us are familiar with, which is trying to talk to a person who already has the entire argument scripted in their head.
