people who have been criminalised in the uk for their action for palestine are in hunger strike week number 5+ and at high risk for their health. The UK government is pretending not to know about them and refusing to talk to them. Please share to increase visibility and pressure.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

I am no longer making allowances for cis people who are “just confused by the whole ‘trans’ thing.”

Either you oppose a hateful, capricious authoritarian regime choosing to target a vulnerable minority group for horrifying violence, or you… don’t.

And if you don’t, you’re beneath contempt.
It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

This is almost everything the government is doing.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I was just thinking about how TOYS deserves a cult following but doesn’t seem to have one. It’s got a banger soundtrack, clearly neurodivergent characters, and addresses conflict and violence in ways that seem prescient as fuck now. Legit deserves a Criterion release.

I'm really excited about this episode, Stardusts! It is a continuation of an awesome conversation catalyzed by the incredible @chanda.blacksky.app that began IRL at the STLV TREKtivism panel. We talk about how The #StarTrek future is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism.
New Episode!

A dear friend is a SBux union leader; Corporate uses cruel tricks against employees who try to unionize. She shared with me how they intimidate employees. a store manager told a single mother working 2 jobs if she unionizes he'd cut everyone's hours & make sure the other employees hate her.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
