A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue
Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

The reason Substack pushed a Nazi blog onto people's phones is because—as founder Hamish McKenzie said in his response to Substackers Against Nazis 2 yrs ago—he believes it is valuable and important to platform Nazi voices.

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away.

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants. They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/

I wrote about leaders who don't (or won't) lead, the death of a political order unsuited for these dark times, what the new one should look like, and the importance of playing to win. New visions for a new and better America: Solidarity, leadership, reframing.

Elon Musk is perfect for America because he has the power to enact dumb guy solutions to dumb guy problems.

This week he will order the chip factories to stop putting so much air in the bags and when the chips get all smashed up in shipping he’ll be like “success! Big chips were too hard to eat”

Slightly buried the lede but: if you're a queer couple and you want to get married ASAP in a state with strong protections before Obergefell inevitably gets overturned by fascists I will do an officiate for you for free (if you drop by the shop when I'm here just call/email ahead to make sure I am).
Would you like to get married at a cozy comic book shop? This is not a joke or Valentine's Day meme Wing actually has a level in cleric and can officiate marriages legally. Completely free for queer couples who wanna get paperwork done and have a simple thing. Email us if you want something more.

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states.

I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law first
The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.
