USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries. They are giving you actionable information.

- Reposted by Maggie Tokuda-HallThe phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

- there should be a specific word for the way you feel when people promote your book (that's good!) because of a national disgrace of state sanctioned cruelty (that's bad!) that you wrote said book specifically to address (so it's doing its job) but that you don't want your book to relevant (ever)
- Reposted by Maggie Tokuda-HallIt's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??
