I cannot stress strongly enough that genocides do not start with death camps. Thatβs where they end.
No, they start with dangerous rhetoric that whips up violence against marginalized groups.
People like Walsh, Pool, Shapiro, Carlson, Raichik, etc. absolutely know this. They are fomenting a genocide against trans and queer folks, and it is working.
Tucker Carlson is once again using his platform to spread anti-LGBTQ+ lies, this time about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
After he claimed Secretary Pete somehow "lied" about being gay, his husband Chasten ably clapped back with a much-needed truth bomb.

Amazing photo from #China - the people stand up to Xi, some demanding he step down. Photo of two professors from Fudan University.
Our 9-year-old son came home from school & said that some boys at recess offered to play with him if 'he hugged & kissed a girl.'
He responded to them, "No, that's inappropriate," & told us he didn't mind not being able to play with those boys after all. Afterwards his teacher shared she was happy he stood up to peer pressure.
Y'allβit's never too early to teach boys about consent and boundaries. Have the conversation. Then have it again. And again. Boys will be the boys we teach them to be.

Oh myyy, a big piece on my life and my legacy work in βAllegianceβ in The Guardian today. Of course, they are hyping up the drama around unimportant pop gossip, but glad to see the story and this musical getting great press as we head into rehearsals next week!

Mississippi is Americaβs Blackest state. Itβs mostly white MAGA Govt annually rejects $1B in Federal $ for Medicaid. Now the last hospital in a rural part of MS is about to closeβdevastating Black & low income people.
MAGA racism & cruelty on full display. Like the old saying goes. Republicans claim government doesnβt workβthen they get elected and prove it.

Warnock: We filed a lawsuit so you can vote on Saturday. They filed a petition asking for emergency relief. What you ought to ask yourself is, what do they want relief from? You want relief from people voting?

SABOTAGE 10 - THE SUPREME PROBLEM
There is a massive problem in my country (which is the United States) that Iβd like to bring to your attention, because Iβve been given to understand that this problem must be solved before anything else can be solved or even considered.
This makes it the supreme problem we face today.
Here is the supreme problem: white conservatives have not been made perfectly comfortable yet, and that is something they find extremely oppressive.

Sadness is precious. Don't reject it as something you didn't need it. Sadness helped you in many ways, such as seeing humanity, relating with others, gaining new perspectives, and, most importantly, empowering you to find your inner joy and strength. From my cabin in the Yukon woods, I am dispatching joy, hope and positivity.
Nothing is better than #hallmark #Christmasmovies and their #pickuplines... "Did Santa drop my present off early?" "Are you Christmas because I want to marry you?"
Well, everyone, the USofA is saved, the GOP has mapped out their agenda for the next 2 years:

When I turned 70, I thought, βWell, thatβs it. Iβve had a great career, but itβs winding down.β
Boy, was I wrong. I found social media, and then a second wind at my sails in my 70s! I made my Broadway debut at 78, and Iβll make my London debut at 85.
Life is truly wonderful and magical.
If youβre in London, come see me in Allegiance starting in January. Tix here: https://allegiancemusical.com

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
