Everyone in Chicago HATES Rahm. Why is anyone platforming that turd?? If anyone from IL is running for prez, it’ll be Pritzker.

This is false equivalency. If you think a skull and crossbones is cool, go Pirates of the Caribbean or Sailor Jerry style. Plenty of ways to do it without Nazi references. Context matters.

He’s gonna use plausible deniability for that. He’ll condemn it when public shaming for this absurdly stupid take actually has consequences outside of Bluesky.

Oh yes!! I absolutely will, asap! Thank you!!

Not a writer, but I worked on the redesign of Bitch and served as Art Director from 2018-19. I would love to partner with Flytrap if you ever need design help! Thrilled to hear Bitch will be revived in some way!!

They did save millions of lives at least, they lost something like 20,000, and have a massively larger population than us. Whereas America lost millions. They are also still investing in new vaccine research and prevention, and we aren’t.

Yes good call. I’ve also found that white folks can be quite good at identifying racism on paper but very bad at unlearning that and applying new behavior in our own lives. It’s big “not all white folks” energy, big yikes.

How do you have this take with multiple degrees in policy and macroeconomics? You must have some understanding of structural racism. This comment is giving white savior, entitlement, and shows exactly why an invite into Black spaces should not be for everyone.

Weeeee, let’s hope they renew those tax credits!

What impact would it have if no one can afford these plans & forego coverage? Premature death for sure, but seems like it could really crater the economy when millions are forced into medical debt.

Vaxxed 10x here, had it pre-vax, and once asymptomatic in 2023. Caught only with routine PCR testing back when it was free and more accessible. Still masking just in case!

Same! It’s straight up extortion even if you can afford it. It’s beyond infuriating.

Someone said actually the GOP does believe in late-term abortion, it’s just by limiting healthcare, refusing to regulate guns, banning vaccines, etc. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Yup. I’m hoping out-of-pocket costs for routine care are going to be cheaper than ACA insurance. I did the math and weekly therapy, 2-3 yearly visits, & generic meds (GoodRx) will cost me less than my current monthly premium. Even with a catastrophic plan, it might still save money this way?

I don’t care if they were trans or not, bc arguing identity politics is a right-wing tactic to place the blame on an individual rather than the gun-sick society that produced them. If it’s always “lone wolf” they don’t have to do anything about it.

Thank you for still masking and talking about it! It’s such a deeply lonely experience. You are not alone even if it feels like it 💜

Tl;dr if your feminism doesn’t include trans women and especially Black trans women, you aren’t a real girl’s girl. Has real big “you can’t come to my birthday party” energy.

And like, people can get pedantic all they want about exact hormone levels and chromosomes, but all you have to do is see trans women as real people with complex experiences. And deserving of wins and thriving just like anybody.
