Because, again: Disability is the only minority anyone can join at any time, & which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long. A disease, a quirk of genetics, a bus, a bad fall from a curb. Anything. And the only thing we have that could consistently make this fact survivable…

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

picturing Morticia walking through the Pride section of a Target making horrified faces and some queer employee gets really offended but it turns out that she’s just physically sickened by the concept of putting a RAINBOW on your BODY like “sunshine is for basic bitches, be the moon”

"Project 2025 is not targeting “pornography” as something that’s harmful to children per se, but rather redefining anything concerning sexuality and gender that they say is harmful to children *as* pornography." - @melissagiragrant.com

Even with all the attention now on Project 2025, their fearmongering about pornography has been overlooked. But there it is, on the document’s first page, one item in a litany of signs of the destruction of American values. And that's a sign of how broad their fight on "porn" could be:

This is so true. I’ll never forget in 2008, seeing a white supremacist crying on the news after Obama’s election. He said “we used to BE somebody.” They miss the days when the mere fact of being white made them “better,” more important, than everyone else

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

wild to me that "leave it up to the states," a view that was used to excuse and legitimize slavery AND SPARKED THE CIVIL WAR, is being cast as "softened" in the context of abortion, like it's fine, we'll just have HALF THE COUNTRY prosecuting abortion as homicide, as a soft, moderate compromise

The ironic thing here is that either he's trying to hide he's involved or he's too pudding-brained and doesn't remember his own team doing this. Both indicate the same thing though. Definitely not fit for office.

A good reminder. I don't know if Biden's mental state is a serious cause for concern or not, but we're seeing *exactly* the same playbook that was used on Clinton, down to the "allies are concerned" articles. And Clinton is *still* doing fine.

The best tweet of the day… no, the month. I really didn’t know that the neo-Nazis had these many sympathizers. If you are still wondering how millions of people perished in concentration & death camps, well, it starts with people like this guy. Yes, I’m saying it & meaning it quite literally.
