Neil Gaiman's claim that one of the alleged victims "was suffering from a condition associated with false memories" is gaslighting at its worst. He is weaponizing mental health to avoid accountability while also exacerbating the trauma that HE ORIGINALLY INFLICTED. It is so nefarious and insidious.

"When Daniels was asked if she feared Trump returning to the White House, she envisioned him trying to make an example of her. She suggested his followers may be “more bold” in the future because they could perhaps obtain a presidential pardon from him for any illegal acts."

There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.

I think it's worth stating explicitly that the lack of an escape route for Disabled people is real. No country wants Disabled immigrants who can't do gainful employment. Zero countries are putting their hands up like "Yes, come put more burden on our social safety nets here!"

It can’t be repeated enough: transphobia is a warning sign for fascism. The rights of trans people are a canary in the mine, and when they’re assaulted it means we are all under assault.

*lowers voice* As others have pointed out, you cannot necessarily even emigrate to Canada, your neighbour, if you are disabled or have evidence of 'undue' healthcare spending, for example (real life example unfortunately) receiving treatment in the adult psychiatric care system... involuntarily. 🙃

This coming week, temperatures in Death Valley will be the hottest in the recorded history of this planet. Beryl is the earliest category four storm in the history of Atlantic hurricane season. People, both now and in the future, need us to stave off fascism and build a world where they can live.

I did the math: There’s an estimated 2,781 billionaires on the planet. If they are an average of six feet tall (generous) the stack of them would span 16,686 feet of the Mariana Trench’s 35,814 feet. Leaving 19,128 feet, or room for about 3,188 millionaires.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

Also, I do not dislike Joe Biden because he has advanced medical conditions that make him unfit to rule. I dislike Joe Biden because it doesn't matter what anyone says to him, he won't stop massacring Palestinians, or slaughtering Black people with cops, our mass incarcerating us.

There is a video from an early Pride festival where Sylvia Rivera storms the stage and rips the organizers a new one for focusing on a party instead of liberation and not wanting to include trans people and boy howdy is it abundantly clear how we got to the place we are now.
