@MoiraDonegan And it's so selective. A lot of Los Angeles novels do highlight issues of class, especially LA noir (Chandler, Hughes, Mosley, etc) and sci-fi (Dick, Butler, Erickson). Not to mention Paul Beatty, Nathaniel West, etc.
But so do New York novels. Like, that's Howell's whole deal
So Mississippi just introduced a copycat law of the Tennessee trans ID law, but with the addition that any cop that sees ur ID doesnt match ur natal sex has to report you to FUCKING ICE
@MxInevitable Leaving aside how embarrassing it should be to slobber over any politician, this Platner guy is so obviously going to do some Fetterman shit after like three months in office

@laurapalmerceo And TERFism leads them to adopt other right-wing bullshit. Kathleen Stock going MRA and anti-abortion. Anna Slatz going full racist homophobe. Half oare hardcore Zionists and the other half are spreading antisemitic theories about Jewish doctors transing the your or whatever
Immigrants imprisoned in a Newark camp are on strike to demand their freedom. This is a work stoppage combined with a hunger strike, made harder because the strikers are behind locked doors. Important reporting from Luis Feliz Leon. https://t.co/iGyVajrsow

Remember the massacre in Uvalde? The state of Texas responded by expanding police presence in schools and raising school-police spending by 45% from $900 million to $1.3 billion.
A recent investigation into this police expansion has found THOUSANDS of school-police use-of-force incidents in Texas since then.
Children have been handcuffed, tackled, pepper-sprayed, tased, arrested, hospitalized, bruised, and concussed.
So basically, hundreds of Texas cops froze like cowards and failed to stop a mass murderer in 2022... and now they wanna act tough by taking their rage out on vulnerable unarmed children.
@FriendOfAstraea Yeah, I am generally not a fan of equating or analogizing the meat industry to other forms of oppression, but it is really amazing how much overlap there is between anti-feminist and anti-vegan rhetoric.
