We Got Another Good News Roundup!

What dude he explictky say?

Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.

Sooooo few people are actually willing to defend the basic human rights of people who have committed crimes. Like I know it's not fun but if you genuinely believe in human rights as a concept you can't be okay with the state violating them in prisons I'm sorrrrry. Having moral principles is not always a fun time.

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.

Reminder these are people.

Here's my fkn' hangup: The guy with the bow tie shot up FSU and was killed! The guy with the spectacles on killed two people and injured five! He's still alive! Why? I know the answer! I dare anybody else to admit the answer! And wouldn't you know it! The goofy looking dude is the son of a cop! Just exercising his second amendment rights I'm sure! We'll see him at a dinner party with Trump, Vance, Musk, and Kyle Rittenhouse by this weekend...!

Every accusation is a confession.

I found a lost 1988 handbook from Coalitions for America, a right-wing think tank founded by the man who started The Heritage Foundation and ALEC. The document tells readers how to fight gay rights legislation and, as you’ve already guessed, it’s almost the exact blueprint used against trans people. I digitized it for the first time here: transreads.org/defeatgayrights/

Since the 1960s, the right has spent unprecedented time, effort, and cold hard cash to convince the public that treating oppressed people with basic dignity is unfair to them. We still see this 1988 "special privileges" argument in practice against trans people today.

Can someone's transition harm other people? Of course not. But the far-right wants you to believe so. Instead of spreading actual disease, this time we're spreading social contagion. Instead of divorce, we have "trans widows" and "broken families."
