I’ll be appearing on @VelshiRuhle on MSNBC at 1:15pm EDT to chat with @AliVelshi and @SRuhle about Trump’s ban on trans people in the military, and why, despite what the Pentagon is saying, it is absolutely a ban that harms all 15,000 trans service members.
A bit of a delay, but going on MSNBC in just a few moments to chat with @VelshiRuhle. Tune-in!
My deep appreciation to @AliVelshi and @SRuhle for the great conversation about Trump's ban on transgender troops.

This is *always* the quintessential David Brooks column I think about. It combines undiluted arrogance with what he sees as genuine compassion wrapped up in an excuse to show off (weaponize?) learnedness. It is just... *chef's kiss*.
I had to dig it up for fun. Y'all... I grew up in trailer parks. I'm a first-generation college grad. When read this, I thought: "Holy christ, is this really what people like David Brooks think of me?"

And also: imagine his friend reading this shit for the first time. WTF?
We, the poors, do love our uncultured Mexican food. You're right, @nytdavidbrooks. Where--oh where--shall I find elegant commentary like this among my generation?

Imagine calling Millennials' writing inelegant in the same sentence that you deploy "journalism writer".
It turns out that all I needed in order to be a more elegant writer than @nytdavidbrooks is avoid redundancy.
Q: What do you get when you combine the pomposity of David Foster Wallace with the oblivious cringe of Michael Scott and the good nature of neither?

A: Yet another @nytdavidbrooks column.

Oh wow! Already gotten three gentlemen who sent $1.

To be clear: all dollars collected in this here humorous schematic will be donated to @CasaRubyDC, which advocates for transgender folks in the D.C. metropolitan area.
Wow, this escalated quickly. ❤️🔥
Also, can we talk about our trans brother Sam Garman being all about that solidarity?! 🔥🔥🔥

Fuck the Supreme Court. & fuck Kamala Harris. & fuck Aaron Sorkin. & fuck every dipshit political pundit who's ever argued that laws that impact whether #trans people are allowed to live safely & participate freely in society are merely a "distraction" from the "real issues"...
...I had originally planned to comment on Kamala Harris's presidential bid today. It was going to be a thoughtful non-profanity-laden personal statement along the lines of: While I will likely end up voting for whichever Democrat opposes Trump in the general election...
...I cannot in good conscience vote for a candidate in the Democratic Primary if they have a record of pushing anti-#transgender policies. For Harris, this includes not only her actions as CA AG to block healthcare for #trans prisoners, but also...

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

So, the other thread I was talking about at the beginning of the week and, sadly not about Vagrant Story or Farscape.

One of the questions I see pop-up again and again is why do TE*Fs (note the wildcard placement, there's nothing radical about these #Fuckwits) have such...

hatred for #trans #people?

Well, if we step back a little and change how we look at the patterns of behaviour, and look at those behaviours in a different paradigm, one more associated with personal relationships, TE*F behaviour and attitudes have a depressingly familiar...

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.
