Those who push anti-trans hate want to roll us back to an idealized version of the past. One where women are forced to look and act a certain way. One where gender conformity is enforced through hate, shame and stigma.
Fighting anti-trans hate is key to a feminist future.

#RIP Treat Williams. After proving himself on the "crazy meter" and "dramatic meter" with 'Prince of the City' and 'Hair,' he was enjoying quieter times. "If you’ve done those roles where you’ve gone the distance, why not just relax …?” he said.

New Gallup: 69% of Americans now say trans athletes should only be able to play on teams "that match their birth gender."
7-point shift toward that position since 2021. Among Dems, too, from 41% holding that position in 2021 to a 48% today.

If the biggest, most money focused media company currently dominating the market is secretly looking for an alternative to streaming, you know they think it's not sustainable long term.

They brought themselves to a cliff and are trying to not fall off and resorting to bullying in order to keep the machine running.
And you can tell its not working anymore. Because disney implied they are looking to invest in "legacy media" again IE BLURAYS.

Yep. And they won't give any of it back until we #NeverStream

By killing cable, killing hard media, killing theatrical, it basically allows for MAXIMUM vertical integration. Basically putting everything in a walled garden they can control and they can charge whatever they want for.
But its not actually profitable until it's the ONLY option

The Russian people are human beings. Stories can and should be told about them. They are not reducible to the actions of their present government. This stuff over the last year has been pretty unsettling, honestly.

When they were making a movie in Italy in 1993, Burt Young and Victor Argo were invited to the home of #SilvioBerlusconi. They were fêted extravagantly at Berlusconi’s mansion and at the end of the evening Young turned to their host and said “So I guess you’re doin’ pretty good.”

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra this week: “if you’re dying of Covid today, you didn’t take precautions”
Not only is the Biden administration still victim blaming, their push to declare mission accomplished made it more difficult to “take precautions,” as we documented this week

MAGA is part of a growing international authoritarian movement. Whether Trump goes to prison (and he should) doesn’t solve the larger threat.
We have to stop expecting institutions to solve these problems for us. Nothing short of societal sea change will get us there.

The @nydems supermajority had an opportunity to respond to this moment of crisis by daring the @GovKathyHochul to veto a bill.
Instead @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie blinked and folded -- bending to @GovKathyHochul and the real estate industry.

Just sad that Code Red Bill, who famously stored boxes of the discs sold through his online store in the john (and packed one of my orders with a thankfully unopened four-pack of toilet paper in lieu of bubble wrap) did not live to see himself vindicated.

Looking back, Pat Robertson was the beginning of the end for me. Specifically the Katrina comments. Probably responsible for driving countless people away from Christianity lmao. A fifth column sleeper agent subverting Protestantism from within. Good job soldier, you can rest now

I am hearing on his deathbed that Pat Robertson received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the shahada. Even now he looks down upon the ummah from the Gardens of Jannah.
Truly there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet!
