had a dream that getting or renewing your driver's license involved passing a loyalty test: you'd be shown images in sequence -- the american flag, the iranian flag, the statue of liberty, that one big statue of north korea's leaders -- and your subconscious reactions of pride or disgust would determine whether you'd be approved

there is no appeal to numbers and studies and "objectivity" that can stand up to a eugenicist's conviction in race science. you can't beat a terf fairytale by distributing spreadsheets. doing so accepts the bigot's frame, "no, actually--" it doesn't matter. you already let them win.
the fascist tells a false story with true ideological conviction; the liberal annotates those falsehoods and leaves ideology to the imagination. this approach has only ever strengthened the fascist's conviction
we've had some stinkers these past few years but i still wholeheartedly believe there's more worth celebrating about this day than not
