Probably best to let him speak for himself on this subject, and he described himself as a trans boy on his Tumblr. So.. yeah. Maybe don’t.

I’ve been hearing the right online trying to counter the fact that the El Paso shooting was done by a white supremcist, by pointing out that the Dayton shooter was a “leftist” who supports Elizabeth Warren. According to Snopes that’s true. However, that completely misses the point. Has Elizabeth Warren called Mexicans…
This whole thing is incredibly weird, even by mass shooting standards.
I really, really hope that this wasn’t a crime because of Jordan’s gender identity (I guess, really I just wish it never happened), but based on some of the misogynist shit the shooter said in the past, it would not be surprising.
THANK YOU! Seriously this article should have ended after -
Nope to all these pieces today (at this family of sites and others) fawning over her for saying the bare minimum truths that progressives share in meme form on FB. Not to mention that the majority of her “points” have already been made by the top two progressives on the stage (barring the reparations commentary).
“We can quibble over whether Williamson’s emotions were sincere or part of a larger grift, but they came across as genuine...”
If anyone is looking for hope in the middle of all this, I will say that I recently read ‘In the Garden of Beasts’, a memoir of 1930s Germany, and there is one important difference. When Hitler made speeches like this, the next day nobody dared to criticize them. State surveillance combined with control of the media…
Yeah, pretending that the makeup of this panel is in any way representative is super disingenuous and misleading. Somewhere around 47% of white women voted for Trump, once you exclude the wildly inaccurate exit polling that the 53% number gets drawn from. That’s still bad. But let’s not pretend that these women…
Talking to these people is a waste of time. They have exactly what they want. We need to encourage the non voters of this country to get involved.
We can do that by pushing for policies and politicians who will benefit POC and their communities. What is good for POC is actually good for us as well. Equity does not put…
When I heard the ‘so to speak’ I just wanted to scream ‘THERE! THERE IT IS!’ Asking a racist if another racist is racist is always going to get you the same answer.
“they’re not acting American,”
I mean, if the shoe fits?
“He didn’t say anything about color [in his tweets],” Gina O’Briant said. She later added, “He dated a black woman for two years. Two of his wives are immigrants. He’s not a xenophobic racist.”
“[Racism is] a talking point that is always used against any Republican”
The supporters he has left are immune to facts for one simple reason; they’re getting exactly what they want.
I’ve had to quit speaking to people as well. It sucks that people I once loved and respected turned out to be racist, misogynist, proto-fascists, but that’s what his remaining supporters are. Full stop.
I…
Another position (which is the one I run into with my Trump-voting female coworker) is that they stay willfully ignorant of the news. They act like the current political climate is just “so toxic” and “so complicated” and so irrelevant to their actual lives that they can’t even bother to care. So when asked about…
Why are we (CNN) giving these women a forum? And not disclosing how close they already are to Trump’s campaign introduces more bias. This isn’t a cross section of plain old white women. These women may not be representative of what the white women who voted for him are now thinking about his recent tweets. THOSE are…
This will never stop being infuriating to me, and because now they feel “attacked” (largest eye-roll in history) I won’t be surprised if that fucked up 53% figure will end up being even higher next year. We have to do better, but I haven’t found a solid way to reach any of these women, even in my own family. The two…
