Ok here’s the deal. My career as it is now is not sustainable over the long term. Rn I have 456 paid subs
This has been a long time coming but I need to get my Patreon to 570 paid subs by the end of April or I’m going to have to seriously cut back on my writing.

if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.
One thing I’ve learned as a journalist is that basically every time a clip goes viral amongst the right wing of a right winger getting beat up by counter protesters, there’s always a second video showing the right winger started it.
Alternative history is always like “what if the confederacy won?” Or “what if the Nazis had won?” And never “what if all the southern slaves had murdered all the slave holders?”
Every once in awhile I think about the trans woman from Tennessee who was barred from getting a female driver’s license so she went running topless, got arrested for indecent exposure of female breasts, and then thrown in a men’s jail.
Heterosexual culture is a woman, well-dressed, hair done, and makeup perfect at 5 am traveling with a man wearing flip flops and a tank top that says “cornhole champ”

ensured nobody was receiving any illegal gifts this Christmas. The hard work of officers around NYC to keep our streets safe is remarkable.
One potential takeaway from tonight is that the US is a center left country with a gerrymandering problem.
If republicans are going to turn in a historically poor midterm performance now in this moment, a lot of talking heads need to re-evaluate their priors on this stuff.
My name is not Katelyn Boo-urns, my name is Katelyn Burns but I can’t change my display name back from my stupid Halloween meme name because the most fragile man on the planet bought this site.

A Christian pride month with every business wrapping themselves in the Christian flag & promoting Christian programming on platforms above all other content, & every city council making Christian Month pronouncements? And Christian parades all month? Yes. That would be wild.
ChatBot: My name is Sydney
Journalist: The chatbot it human 😭😭😭😭
Trans person: My name is Sydney
Journalist: I’m going to call your optometrist to find out your real name you little shit
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on

Trans men often get turned away from doctors offices that provide reproductive health because the doctors are expecting cis women. If using trans-inclusive language helps even one trans man access important health care, it’s worth it.
Pride was never such a controversial thing when it was gay men and lesbians. Sure, there were issues, but no major public backlash till Pride also meant celebrating people with mental health disorders who bully those who disagree with them.
He’s the perfect American superhero. He’s rich enough to solve a bunch of problems with his money but instead just cosplays as a cop in a weird outfit.

Cannot wait for someone to write “I support trans people,” get a load of trans people to retweet it, and then edit it to “trans people should be genocided.” It’ll happen day one.
Tomorrow a 16 year old trans girl from Tacoma, WA will testify about the Equality Act in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Republicans on hand will be Sens. Cruz, Hawley, Grassley, Cotton, Sasse, Graham, Cornyn, Lee, Kennedy, Tillis, and Blackburn.
Praying for her.
6700 protesters arrested in Russia for protesting the war is obvious evidence of an authoritarian police state where dissent is not allowed but 10,000 Black Lives Matter protesters arrested in the US is obviously just serving and protecting.
Especially frustrated at all the people who insisted that this day would never come, that Roe was “settled law.” That we shouldn’t have abortion litmus tests for candidates.
You fucking fools. You knew nothing.
BREAKING: We're suing the NYPD on behalf of a transgender woman who was charged with “false personation” after she provided officers with both her previous and current legal names.
We can't allow the NYPD to continue criminalizing transgender people for existing.
If you’re a trans person who is running a crowdfund for any reason, reply to this thread and I will RT it.
Cis people, here’s a tangible, immediate way to support trans people right now in this moment, with your money.
Over 99% of child molesters are cisgender. Should cis people be allowed around children? Let's have a debate.
I say no, we need to shut it down until we get a handle on what's really going on there.
I’m reminded today of the tear-streaked faces of the clusters of women who were huddled around phones in the Hart Atrium watching Susan Collins’ floor speech announcing her vote for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
We all knew.
People in 2016: Trump is going to put people in concentration camps.
Media: That's absolutely preposterous.
People in 2019: These are concentration camps.
Media: Are they, technically, "concentration camps" though?
They’re going to be.... arguing.... over... whether.... employers can just.... ***fire*** trans people... for being trans....
This country is so deeply fucked up.
HUGE NEWS: The Supreme Court will hear the case of a woman fired for being transgender, deciding employment rights for over 2 million transgender Americans.
Notice how the right has jumped straight past trying to refute any of Stewart’s questions and fact and straight to “Jon Stewart must be a groomer”.
They have nothing. It’s moral panic.
This is what I mean when I say the trans athlete debate is really about male fragility. These men are convinced that Lia Thomas simply being born male means Thomas will “smoke” the greatest female swimmer in history.
Their times are not close in the slightest.
“Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet”
This is where anti-trans hate leads. It is an attack on all forms of gender non-conformity, ending in the re-imposition of regressive gender norms and threatening progress on women’s rights.
can you imagine if even one of these major newspaper reporters who wrote panicky both sides pieces grounded their work in facts like Stewart does here?
Notice how statewide races are mostly breaking for Dems and the only GOP pick ups are coming from micro-dissected, newly gerrymandered districts? That’s no coincidence.
Fun how a conservative Senator cited JK Rowling while stopping a vote on the Equality Act, which would have been the single largest advancement in LGBTQ and women’s rights in the last half century.
It’s really hard to explain to normies that there is a deep history of transphobes intentionally seeking out careers in gender medicine simply to have control over trans lives.
