A MUST SEE

There are people who voted for Donald Trump because he promised to expose the Epstein files. Now there is real voter remorse.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson is one of them, and if she could speak to Trump today, she would say, “Who owns you?”

I felt amazing. I had so much fun today. 
I feel like in the past, I didn't have fun. I was just so stressed about the entire time, but even on the warm up, I talked to, Derek, "This feels a little different.”

A 20 year old woman in Minnesota was murdered at work by a coworker this week. Why? He didn't like the way she looked at him. And people are judging her gender presentation in an effort to justify her murder. America hates women. And children. It hates Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian people too

People are so illiterate re how social change happens that they can't recognize that it's people who push other people to change their political calculus. WHY are your enemies having to shift & change course? What people & social forces have made them do so? They aren't "just magically" shifting.

"Art is supposed to make you feel something, and I began to realize my appearance was my art. My body, my face, my scars told a story – my story. But I guess that’s how life works sometimes – noticing beauty only in retrospect and poetry, in silence."

Rest well.
💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

Oh no I just heard we lost Alice. This is terribly sad. She was an incredible, talented, powerful voice of the disability community. She stood strong for herself and for all of us. She will be missed immensely.

Conservatives claim that structural racism does not exist while simultaneously creating innovative new forms of structural racism like banning discussions of the concept.
Texas A&M Tightens Rules on Talking About Race and Gender in Classes www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

“The policy defines race ideology as, among other things, ‘a concept that attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity.’”

These GOP-led efforts will ruin their states’ public universities. Sad!
