It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I've said this before but I sincerely hope Rowling lives a long long time. I want her to live to see that she's failed, that trans ppl have not gone away, that we are loved and cherished and making great art and there is space for us in the world.

Yeah definitely but it’s not without controversy. There was a controversy about whether to exhume the bodies, and then while the decision was pending the ISD did it anyway and then reburied them. And that’s just the first layer.

And w/o repercussions (so far). It’s a lot to deal as an immigrant rights attorney. LA is currently a ghost town - the summer is usually a thriving multicultural polyglot experience for all, but basking in the sunshine traded in 4 dark anxious insides of homes and apartments. Gtfo my city ICE.
