Trans day of remembrance. Don't just focus on those trans people who have been murdered by strangers in public. Also remember the trans people who were denied healthcare, allowed to die in prison, encouraged to kill themselves by their loved ones, buried under the wrong name by their families.

growing chorus of “throw trans people to the wolves” from high profile libs is not shocking but it is certainly nerve-wracking lol

RFK advised American Samoa to stop using the MMR vaccine and 83 people died including children. He could do the same nationally and kill thousands.
People will die.

RFK Jr. spent years stoking fear and mistrust of vaccines. These people were hurt by his work
The book, called “Cause Unknown,” was co-published by an anti-vaccine group led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now running for president.

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:
“What a weird thing to say”
“Do you hear yourself right now?”
“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”
“I won’t let you talk to them that way”
“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”
“Shut the fuck up, dude”

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

I'm sorry, but if I'm a freaking US Senator and I make calculations about how to vote based on whether the supporters of the leader of my party might kill me or my family, then I'd probably do some soul searching about the party I've chosen.
