When we say “billionaires should not exist,” what we mean is:
Instead of billionaires…
Everyone should have healthcare.
Everyone should have housing.
Everyone should have access to healthy food and clean water.
Billionaires are a policy failure.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN may be my favorite KNIVES OUT movie. It is wildly ambitious, with Rian Johnson using the structure & pleasures of a locked door mystery to say something about the state of faith in America right now.
That something? People should choose mercy & grace instead of rage and vengeance.

It's always fun when the teens and tweens make a seemingly nonsensical thing vault into the public consciousness and force twentysomethings to realize they're only going to keep getting older.
the 6-7 phenomenon is in no way different from any other catchphrase that kids have yelled out at any point in the last hundred years, there's no daylight between that and when i was in high school, the year straight where every guy kept yelling "i'm rick james bitch"

- this was very fun and smart
- Rian Johnson is really smart storyteller (and apparently a great human, which makes me happy)

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.
