this is, incidentally, one of the things that infuriates me when people compare what trans people have to do to civil rights activists. there’s no nuclear armed counterweight superpower that the us is responsive to who cares about trans rights. the international audience is gone!
without newly independent african states who the U.S. government needed to court during the cold war, jim crow would never have been dismantled in this country.
that was one of the arguments the truman administration made in brown v. board! we are not islands.

segregation directly, substantially, and negatively affected the U.S.’ geopolitical standing in a way the trans plight never can. we don’t have that kind of leverage.

whether or not the soviet union actually cared about segregation isn’t really the point here bc africans in africa and latinos in south america did and the u.s. government knew they did

I hate everything about this. Black people do not have "interconnected" global struggles. I have more in common with a white person from Kentucky than a black person in South Africa.

one of the funniest things that unites reactionary centrists all the way across history, up to today’s twitter liberals is just a total refusal to believe that right-wingers are generally acting in bad faith. all the high-minded stuff is a cover (and not a very good one)
It’s honestly outstanding just how little 95% of free speech activists actually cared about free speech in the end

tbc some people-even twitter libs— do eventually understand that chuds are always lying but it should be your default mode of engagement, not something you have to painstakingly have proven every time

twitter neoliberals when politicians try to do politics for people staring down unemployment:
I didn't move to the Bay Area from Michigan to have to deal with this Macomb County union hall decel bullshit in my local politics. We're supposed to be building the future here guys.

it’s really hard to convince my carbrained friends that transit is a valid alternative when that transit is late all the time. have we considered having public transit that is reliable. people should look into this.

in saving the global economy, the court has also saved trump from himself, saved congressional republicans from having to fight him, and saved pro-tariff democrats from having to adjust their positions
truly a masterclass
