The same gender system that is making trans people miserable is behind looksmaxxing and male loneliness. This is an issue that Dems could champion as part of a critique of Trumpism rather than sweep under the rug.

How does anyone listen to Clavicular or RFK Jr. and come away thinking the right is in a stronger position on gender politics and we should throw feminism under the bus
Does anyone think biological gender is working well as an explanatory system? Itβs the emperor with no clothes
I mean ffs we have RFK Jr. running around as Health Secretary drinking raw milk and we canβt muster any affirmative of feminist and queer perspectives? Theyβre whatβs needed universally.
What cis person doesnβt have all kinds of ambivalences toward the gender system? The disavowal of trans people as part of the public sphere is an expression of the same system as incel culture and βmale loneliness,β and it hurts everyone. We canβt heal through suppression.
Itβs certainly better than transphobia, but I wish I would hear politicians CELEBRATE trans people instead of downplay their existence.
Whether itβs 2 trans people or 200,000, they are being used as a proxy issue to discipline EVERYONEβS relation to gender, freedom, and public belonging.
Iβm not particularly informed on military/defense capabilities, but I interpreted this as being more like bombings or other terror attacks originating in the U.S. with some link to Iran.
We shouldnβt take for granted that after Trump all the Nazis will stay in the hollowed-out GOP
"Establishing a public bank that regularly purchases municipal debt... would not only significantly expand a cityβs fiscal capacity to support its communities and environs, but also reclaim regional public finance from a parasitical... bond market."

Striking that among legacy media it is pretty much only pop-cultural outlets that still do honest political reporting, despite (because) theyβre feminized and celebrity-adjacent.
The search for liberal Joe Rogan continues! Graham Platner 4everrr

π³ thank you
It's not an exaggeration that I can more easily imagine recognizing new categories of work because I watched Paris is Burning lol
Indeed I think it is not coincidental that so many aesthetic forms that thematize citation and intergenerational recognition emerge in the context of monetary underinvestment and deprivation.
Everyone is already part of the world, so the politics of job creation cannot be separated from the politics of citation, recognition, and reparations. These are not different struggles but linked questions of participation and repair.
A flyer for βWhere Credit's Due: Making Money for Ecosocial Justice - Reimagining Public Credit and Building Intersectional Solidarity in Boroβ. Workshop 2 at the Dorman Museum, Middlesbrough, on Saturday 7 March 2026, 10.30am-12.30pm. Flyer also reads: βDoes Middlesbrough and do the people and places of Teesside deserve more credit?

Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.
This is only slightly dumber than originalism
The culmination of neoliberal epistemology is betting markets replacing all forms of knowledge and critical discourse.
It's great for authoritarianism since it trains people to predict and hedge around world events rather than shape them or take responsibility in any way.
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
Donβt forget Gavin βculturally normallyβ Newsom
Yes. From Palestine to Minneapolis this level of open disregard for human life cannot be unseen by a lot of people who weren't able to see it before
anything he would do to citizens in other countries he would do to Americans
Not to put on my tin foil hat but does anyone think Trump WOULDN'T stage another 9/11 event in the US as a pretense to declare emergency powers as this situation worsens?
When all your regional allies besides Israel are US-backed dictatorships with supermajorities who oppose the government, the capacity for a war with Iran seems... tenuous
Waiting for reputable English-language reporting/translations to come out but it sure seems like the popular mood in the Gulf States is more Arab Spring than "destroy Iran"
Too many of these βmistakesβ happening among Democrats lately.
