it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

I see your, "remove sound description from closed captions that annoy me, a hearing person" and I counter w/ put more details in the CC. I want the sound descriptions. I want the lyrics. I read 4 languages so miss me with the “speaks foreign lang." Give me exhaustive and insufferable deaf-ass CC 😂

🚨 LA placed a Medicaid ban on gender affirming care for trans adults. In response, Trans Income Project launched a 1st in the US initiative, and will pay for HRT for low income Medicaid enrolled trans Louisianans. For Antigravity Magazine, I talked to TIP’s Executive Director to learn more!

Trans folk aren't killing people. Black history isn't killing people. Empathy isn't killing people. Feminism isn't killing people. Left wing YouTube isn't killing people. It's guns. It's literally guns.

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the best yet commentary on last week's events, while pundits, politicians and others have disgraced themselves in their whitewashing of of this man's legacy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Also worth remembering, as we talk about Free Speech, that the first speakers the current administration targeted were those demanding the freedom and safety of the Palestinian people.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

If you are a cis person with a good job and you want trans people to live -- help a trans person flee. Give them money for a ticket. Give them money to find housing in their new home. Give them money to navigate immigration and visas so they can legally get jobs overseas. Now. Do it now.

The outpouring of support from readers & colleagues is overwhelming. I can't imagine them coming together like this for a "problematic" trans woman even five years ago. If you want to help me make up the lost income from comics work, you can subscribe to my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/scumbeliev...

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them.

Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes. One man broke into tears describing how he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy Venezuelan street.

If any one of us called for Brian Kilmeade to be killed by lethal injection, for any reason, we'd be rightly excoriated. Yet he can go on national television, casually call for the extrajudicial murder of an entire group of people, and it'll be forgotten before the coffee gets cold. Fuck this.
