Hey @CrookedMedia and @jonlovett and @jonfavs check out this progressive Democrat running for state senate in CT, focussing on tackling housing insecurity in the Waterbury area charneilforct.com/meet-charn…
The idea that boys will upend their life to transition solely b/c they want to be more competitive female athletes is transphobic, insulting, & also dumb: female athletes earn barely a percent of what male athletes make and get far less attn & glory than males. #terfserasewomen
#bidenerasedwomen ? nah. #terfserasewomen @JoeBiden signed EOs to address the oppression of BIPOC & trans women & terfs dgaf. They are privileged white women who see rights as a zero sum game, & including trans & BIPOC women is an obstacle to being co-oppressors w/ white men.
Biden rejoined the Paris Climate accords to fight climate change, something that disproportionately impacts marginalized people, but sure #BidenErasedWomen

I'm starting to think that all of these #bidenerasedwomen people don't really care about women after all, and just care about excluding and exterminating trans people.

Also, Biden ended the Muslim ban, and many Muslims are women, but sure #BidenErasedWomen

Replying to @TVietor08
@TVietor08 and @brhodes - Love you guys, and I'm sure LeCarre & Nixonland are good, but it'd be awesome if you could plug more #worldo books by women. I have some recommendations in the thread.

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi - tells the story of 2 half sisters in Africa and their descendents - 1 sister is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the US & the other remained in Africa. Every chapter is another descendant & involves colonization, slavery, kidnappings, poverty, etc.

Anyways, I recommend that you check these books out & plugging them would be even betterπŸ˜€- I have no affiliation w/ any author, I just like it when good books, especially books by women, are plugged.
