Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Interesting hypothesis from two researchers suggesting the rise in homophobia in recent years is not the fault of trans people's visibility but (more convincingly I believe) part of the rise of anti-establishment politics generally and an association of "gay pride" with elites and corporations

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.
It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.
Most notable exception: the Latin American left.
That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

This would be great--and I don't mean "Here's why that thing you like is actually terrible and bad for The Cause," which is what it too often slips into. You can offer a progressive take on culture without being the giant scold who ruins every Thanksgiving!
broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now
it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.
