Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

Couldn’t sleep, maybe 3 hours. But had a great dream (I almost never remember them)! Pro BMX dudes doing great tricks but one had also interned with a baker and was showing off his pastries, was extremely proud of the laminating of his croissants.

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

🚨 Do not hand your unlocked phone to law enforcement 🚨

Normalising the surrender of unlocked devices — esp at borders — is a dangerous precedent Apple is fore-fronting. Pushing an unlocked phone as standard-issue ID &commercialising #surveillance under the guise of “convenience”

Turns out the real threat to women and children were the Republicans in charge. They scapegoated trans people to deflect from their own sex crimes against women and children.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I reached out to Gillibrand and Schumer back in October. Received a very tepid response from Gillibrand’s office and none from Schumer’s. Moving forward I will ONLY vote for truly left leaning/progressive politicians. I’m done with the lesser of two evils approach/centrist democrats. AOC is RIGHT.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It’s interesting the things we take from our families. Memories. Lessons. Even in complicated families I hope others can point to at least 1 positive thing. For me, being the baby/last of 5 (& an 18 year difference btwn me & the 1st), it’s the music. From my parents to my siblings, so many genres.

My office captured several stills from today’s
@dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called “undesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).

Highly relatable. I try to live my life without regrets but I do wonder how differently life could have been for me if I’d done it earlier.
despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The annual Mother of Pearl obsession has arrived. Just tried to recall this lyric the other day:

I was never more nervous than meeting the personification of sex, Bryan Ferry, but kept my clothes on. (Weirdest GIF I could find.)

One thing I really hate are people on Letterboxd who give nearly everything a very high rating or a very low rating. I want to scream at them, “NOT EVERYTHING IS 4.5 OR 5 STARS!” I can’t take them seriously. Recently discovered a real POS who rates almost everything 1.5 stars which is also insane.

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.
