People blaming her/her family for not finding an alternative or filing the correct paperwork:

Poverty isn’t just monetary. It is a poverty of resources, poverty of information, and poverty of advocacy. 

But it is the electric company’s problem. There are varying laws in every state banning electric companies from shutting off power for non-payment depending on the temperature, medical conditions, etc.

You have to be white.

That makes sense. I do think women dealing with issues specific to female biology—periods, infertility, breastfeeding, etc.—still need to be able to be truly vocal about their biology and normalize it in a world where men’s bodies are the default, but I also see how they can do that work while trans and non-binary…

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for weighing in. I completely understand how TERFs’ approach, language, and philosophy is an attempt to erase trans women’s womanhood and I stand against that. I believe that any woman who has thrown her lot in with womankind is a woman. I just need to broaden my reflexive…

I don’t think anyone is calling for an end to women’s only spaces, just those that exclude on a basis of genitalia. And, I don’t see how women’s only spaces are any less empowering by including transwomen.  I am part of a feminist martial arts school that was founded in the early 80s in a context of women learning how…

Trans ideology does not promote the idea that you are wonderful just the way you are and that you can be gender nonconforming. It’s shame based rejection of the body for not conforming to gender stereotypes, and often sexual orientation.

Neither I nor any other trans woman I know claims that my experiences are identical to those of cis women, or that I arrived where I am now by the same path that cis women did. It’s not bigotry to acknowledge the existence of those differences. What’s bigotry is to focus only on the differences to the exclusion of the…

So according to white person pulled from the greys the forced separation of children from parents and placing them in concentration camps, destroying records so that they can’t be reunited, all for seeking asylum and/or committing a civil misdemeanor isn’t an actual issue or mistreatment. 

I’d better see you complaining about “wasting the police’s time” on all the articles about white people calling the cops on black people. Otherwise, you’re just another garden-variety internet moron.

She was protesting ICE and the forced removal of migrant children from their parents.

This is bullshit. And it doesn’t even make sense, given all the truly heinous shit people write on twitter.

It has to do with the predominant neoliberal schema for viewing and understanding the world. Neoliberal ideology views everything through an economic lens, in the same way Realist IR theory views everything through the lens of power, mostly state power. It’s the assumption under their framework.

Preemptively posting a giant FUCK YOU to anyone who criticizes this action.

When they go low, we meet them on the low road with all of our friends.

Ehhhh posting a cell phone number is far from “doxxing”. It’s not his home address or where his children go to school. It’s really more of an inconvenience to have your provider change your number.

While you caping for this administration is admirable, there is literally no one saying “Man, Obama really did a great job handling illegal immigration”. It’s been a problem for years, Trump just managed to blow the whole thing up by going super-villain, and that drew a lot of attention.

They are actually pretty much the textbook definition of a concentration camp. A concentration camp is just a camp where a government forces people to live without trial.

We must have a lot of eyes, because we got our first black eye right around the time we gave the Indians smallpox. Second black eye was slavery I guess.

Yes. Even with a base assumption of support for accusers it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be critical or not seek confirmation, additional information. Otherwise how do we distinguish between very, very rare false accusations. Non-abusive uncomfortable situations. And real accusations. How do we distinguish isolated…
