my most 'woke' opinion is that prisons should have the structure and stigma of medical quarantine. stabilize people, change conditions, and monitor relapse risk.
remove the performative cruelty and perverse levels of vengeance. measure success by improved health and victim repair.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Susan Lipper’s photographic series Grapevine was shot over four years from 1988 to 1992.
The series takes its name from Grapevine Branch in West Virginia, a small community where Susan found herself for a while after graduating the Yale photography programme.

now that the dust has settled on the kirk shooting and with the benefit of hindsight and the kimmel thing playing out i sure hope bluesky's leadership is asking itself why their mod team so instinctively behaved exactly the way this fascist administration wanted them to before even having been asked

watching cities bulldoze significant landmarks and, as if to mock us, preserve some tiny fragment like a corpse mounted on display. feels more like set dressing than preservation. a hollow gesture to say "look, we care about history" while erasing the very thing that gave the neighborhood character.

pornography bans and censorships make no sense to me bc sexuality is quite literally part of being human.. suppressing that part or acting like it's gross is never going to be good, we've already been there, not even for teens who go through a lot of hormonal changes and should safely learn about it

also, just like... as an aside to the community, if you exist visibly trans in public, you have already proven yourself brave enough to do something braver than signing a piece of paper.
which is really why I bristle at the "don't register for a protest" bullshit. if you cannot participate in peaceful civil society actions under your wallet name, you are already in an autocracy. DO NOT CEDE THAT GROUND UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. you are a fucking american, peaceably assembling, act like it

given what we know now - the scale of anti-trans legislation, the coordinated campaigns at every level of government, and the real-world violence that follows - i don’t see how we can keep asking a marginalized group to stay defenseless.
We're featuring a new writer on Assigned today! @janethebane.meangirls.online makes a passionate argument for trans people to arm ourselves.

For the pundit class civility means saying, for example, that trans people are “an abomination to God,” but politely, on stage with a microphone, in a suit and tie
He argued with civility. It's a start.
What disagreements, exactly, was he bridging via his work and words?

bluesky moderation has been shockingly bad. post after post is getting removed without any mention of threats, calls to violence, or incitement.
this is the platform that promised openness and user control. now mods are deleting posts in masse if they don't like your tone. pathetic.

these wealthy actors will try to distance themselves. they’ll say they support trans people and disagree with rowling's rhetoric. but those words will be meaningless. they’re operating the machine that funds hate. they’re directly responsible for risking the safety and dignity of our trans friends.

This attitude blows up rockets and kills the crew. We *know* this because we've seen it happen. This is the consequence of letting a fool who understands nothing about NASA to lead it.
It's full steam ahead for NASA, according to Sean Duffy, the agency's acting administrator. During an internal employee town hall, Duffy warned of "letting safety be the enemy of progress" when it comes to winning the space race, according to a recording obtained by NBC News.
