Nobody's life should be ruined for saying racist things, recently, on social media.
People's lives would only be ruined for REALLY bad things, like taking a workspace diversity training six years ago

Digital organizing is a skill and one you can refine to be more effective. For most people it won’t be the most effective tool in their personal toolbelt- they might be capable of other things, and should pursue those. It is just one of many, and one that does take skill.

To be clear: just posting willy nilly isn’t effective digital organizing. You do need to be strategic, spread action items not just doom, and build community not just rage clickers. You have to coalition build, and coordinate with people able to use other strategies.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

Judge MCCONNELL will *grant* the restraining order, saying the withdrawal of the "hugely ambiguous" OMB order is only a distinction without a difference "based on comments by the president’s press secretary.”

Even if you think they already made up their mind.
He's unqualified and deeply anti science. People *will die* if he is confirmed. Take five minutes out of your social media time and do it thanks

The focus on injury risk is wild because 1) if you were that worried about injury from you'd ban roller derby from county facilities altogether, everyone gets injured in roller derby 2) coed sports leagues are still allowed? A team could be 5 men 5 women but not 9 cis women 1 trans woman? Cmon
A women's roller derby league sued to stay inclusive and the judge, a man, said "silly women, I know what's best for you". Trans panic isn't about protecting women, it's about controlling women.

Absolutely bleak seeing US courts ban women from playing a sport they love and were willing to fight in court for the right to play trans inclusively.

On the one hand I think psychoanalysis is congenitally misogynist, and its popular reemergence is a symptom of backlash that will ultimately be wielded against the cause of women’s freedom. On the other hand, conservatives keep saying shit like this.

If you want to oppose Trumpism, one thing you can do is make sure that men who would call clergywomen "so called" don't think you're joining them in that assessment.
