Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

yeah, no. the lesson is very obviously to run on demsoc-or-better-ish politics. this frantic scramble to pretend their microwaved leftovers just need better messaging is exactly why everyone hates the democratic party. please be serious.

Yeah, it's true DIY HRT use is growing. You can call that a healthy community dealing with immense levels of institutional prejudice. And btw Transcend - stop pretending the biggest enemies are on the far-left you idiots. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

glad to see this "study" is being debunked, but I want to point out the double bind at work behind the scenes here: for years, anti-trans activists pointed to any increases as signs of "social contagion" (read: these kids aren't "really trans"). but then, if or when the numbers ever go down...

My latest for @theneedlenews.com appears to be yet another scoop by The Needle. We covered Montana's SB 437, which it seems Assigned Media, Erin Reed, and Trans News Network all have not. The bill is an anti-trans, anti-gay trigger law that is a case of clever MTGOP lawfare.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

One of the problems with Bluesky is you get debates about something where a fundimental component is racism but everyone on every side of the argument is white and all of their positions are completely incoherent and it's just like well I'm not going to get screamed Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Researchers pointed a satellite dish at the sky for 3 years and monitored what unencrypted data it picked up. The results were shocking: They obtained thousands of T-Mobile users' phone calls and texts, military and law enforcement secrets, much more: www.wired.com/story/satell... 🧵👇

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

isn't it great that even if you know who she's talking about in particular, these parameters still describe several people? love that for us

jkr openly condemning palestine so once again if it isnt clear all transmisogynistic politics claiming to "defend real females" is ideologically the same kind of reactionary nationalism, heterosexualism, and turning "weaklings into soldiers" that zionism, hindutva, etc are

bro just one more employee crashout. the site will be better soon bro, you've just gotta let one more team member publicly mock and insult our users. i promise bro, the annoying marginalized users will leave- i mean the site will be better. bro I'm serious, just one more.

combating homelessness by evicting people is some real escalate-to-deescalate-ass shit. "damn you know what would really help me recover from this spiral of chaotic use? losing my housing." many people are saying this

I've long noticed a trend where open media is hijacked by the far-right to push their false narratives. I'm currently joining a citizen journalist news syndicate that does have some rightist reporters and some... problems due to lack of content moderation. But, I'm hoping to cut through the noise.

Honestly, I don't know how to relate to people who have not spent quite literally every single day of their conscious lives since childhood thinking anxiously of the climate crisis. My childhood journals are terrified of climate crisis. In child handwriting, I wondered if I would get an old age.

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

Wired and Ars Technica have done some amazing investigative journalism into the tech industry over the last couple of years (in particular) and Beth Mole at Ars has become my favorite health science reporter. I will be legit sad to see both of them get the WaPo treatment. :(
