bweh...

important to note that this insane poppers lie is an AIDS denial conspiracy dating back to the early 1980s, when people were trying to find a way to blame AIDS on the actions of gay people to blame them for the pandemic.

Arizona Republicans are trying to make having poppers a felony. They are starting an entire new war on drugs just to target queer people for incarceration. Who is this helping, exactly? www.lookoutnews.org/arizona-bill...

Same article's headline image included what was to some degree a self-portrait by a nonbinary Māori artist, which the article described as having "so little daylight between a literal kiwi farms caricature and [it]". So yeah, the site's authors are being racially insensitive again? Say it ain't so!

don't abolish ICE, what we really need is to double down on a convoluted health insurance subsidy system that sends billions of dollars to companies that will fuck customers over as a shitty bandaid for the lack of publicly run healthcare in this country (the ACA tax credits)

It's clear at this point to me that the severity of the Minneapolis invasion is far more intense and fascist than previous ones in places like LA, which I witnessed. Pay attention y'all, we still have 3 more years of this shit and the only way out is every single person locking in to support them.

silently deleted without a public statement or apology btw. how hard is it to say "sorry for using the most overused anti-Black stereotype of all time?"

we now are at the "agentic pizza app" stage of the bubble

how dumb are you cisgender motherfuckers

The thing about the enforcement of a hierarchy is that there have to be harsh punitive measures to make examples of anyone who treats those on the lower rungs too much like an equal.

blocking whatever this is, but if your take away from this tweet is anything other than "racism is bad regardless of what the person has done" you are an enemy to the movement and no different from the liberals who gleefully misgender and deadname Caitlyn Jenner bc she's a Republican

I'm sorry, I've been staying out of this since I don't have much useful to add but, regardless of whatever Tara has or hasn't done (I'm not commenting on that! don't ask!), this is no way to talk about a Black trans woman. this isn't newsworthy information. you're literally just being racist.

crazy how I can't even watch terrible slop reality tv to try to distract myself from The Horrors, without said show featuring a white cis woman instigating a whisper campaign to unjustly vote off the only Black trans woman because she didn't like her reaction to a joke (the traitors US season 2)

congrats, mr nyt wapo emeritus: your well considered thoughts as you return to your dream job are essentially podsave bros comment thread hangers on from the week of november 12, 2024. i’ll see you in 2029 when you’ve gotten to, “it turns out the they/them campaign didn’t do much persuading?”

bro got fired from the rolling stones, comes back decades later only immediately to blame Trump on racial minorities and trans people advocating for our basic rights. absolutely despicable shit and I have no idea what is going on in Rolling Stones headquarters to publish this drivel.

hey @mattbaidc.bsky.social please tell me which one of my human rights are too "radical" for voters and provide evidence that this is what motivated millions of people to vote for Trump @rollingstone.com is insane to have just hired this transphobe. I'll be canceling my subscription. 👋🏽

Woman Seen Pulled from Car Speaks Out: 'Lucky to be alive' Aliya Rahman "said she was driving to an appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when the incident occurred." She asked for a doctor and was taken to a detention center where she lost consciousness. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

and this is why centrism doesn't work, because you just end up with everyone mad at you

in less than 24 hours, we've received 89 volunteer applications and 179 run submissions. i don't think i've ever seen this much interest in and support for any speedrun event in such a short time. i had a feeling the response to this would be big, but my expectations were still broken.

Don't let Democrats distract you from the fact that 43 Dem senators voted to increase ICE funding by *$10 BILLION* two years ago. It only failed because Trump told Republicans to kill it so he could do it instead. immigrantjustice.org/wp-content/u...

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

all I'm going to say is that if it was a national news story every time someone misgendered an impoverished trans woman of color who isn't in Congress, with the intention to humiliate her, you wouldn't have enough pages on any newspaper in the world to to print all the stories.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I mean yeah, they have always supported ICE. This isn't new lol. Most of them ran against Republicans complaining that they didn't vote for a 2024 bill that increased ICE funding.

it actions like this that make people, especially gen z, despise the democratic party. what are we doing here

girl faces off with her FFS surgeon who steals her face forever if she shows any sign of emotion about having to go on menopause for no scientifically valid reason for 2 weeks beforehand

The reason why Dems like Newsom feel like they can't poll well on supporting trans people isn't because trans rights doesn't poll well. It's because they hate trans people too much to be able to explain why they support our rights to exist, even as a lie. They look like idiots and cede the issue.

Newsom's "gotcha" for Shapiro here is that he didn't condemn Trump for not forcibly detransitioning trans prisoners during his first term. In case you weren't sure whether this dude wants us dead or not yet.

good news! if you need or want to know what transphobic shit gavin newsom got up to with ben shapiro today but you don't hate yourself enough to go through his podcast, i do! 🏳️‍⚧️🧵here is a thread of clips for your immiseration

Announcing ICE Breaker: A charity speedrun event by myself & @rrlat.bsky.social on Jan 30 - Feb 1 to support Minnesotans in defending from ICE. Submit runs: oengus.io/marathon/ice... Volunteer: forms.gle/51HEcBmhUC8X... Run submissions close Sunday. Volunteer apps have a soft deadline of Saturday

crazy how streaming is just worse than having a DVR was in like 2009. there's just as many ads but you can't even skip them, and they turn your room into a billboard when you hit pause 😭

Reminder Newsom recently vetoed a bill that would've allowed trans people to stockpile 6 months of HRT in California bsky.app/profile/mady...

can't wait for Newsom to agree with Shapiro when he says something about killing all trans people only for Newsom to cry next week about trans people being mean to him and he's the number one supporter of trans rights because he appointed a single trans judge a few years ago

we HAVE to win the MIDTERMS so a DEMOCRAT MAJORITY can attatch a NON-BINDING RESOLUTION asking the GESTAPO not to wear MASKS to the OMNIBUS BILL that increases their FUNDING again

Just so we're clear: @economist.com has maintained a special account (which they pay thousands of dollars to Musk for a gold tick) on the sexual abuse software they're describing in their article They have 25.7 million followers: nearly every post from the last 24hrs has 0-5 RTs.

What's more powerful than their guns? This.

Bennett (and most political consultants) is the definition of failing upwards. Only the people too incompetent to grift their way up as politicians themselves end up as consultants.

How can any member of the Democratic Party vote to fund a government that is being used to harass and prosecute them and average Americans

Notice how right wing Democrats rely on misogyny to push their agenda. Literally calling people who want to abolish ICE too emotional.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

ICE must be stopped Border Patrol must be stopped the ethnic cleansing must be stopped and the roots that grew the tree of genocide must be uprooted and burned Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Hey y'all, our trans local journalism co-op is facing real struggles in the long aftermath of Helene. We're 65% of the way to our goal to ensure we can survive in 2026. Independent journalism is more important than ever. Please share and support as you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-a...

Last year @madycast.com wrote a really powerful piece on exactly this. We will survive.

Important to emphasize: while the realities depicted in this article are grim, the trans political prisoners are also building community. They do have real support both behind bars and outside. This is part of a long history of U.S. political prisoners organizing. People resist. Always.

Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest. They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:

One year ago, the centrist geniuses who also wanted Dems to abandon trans people said that Dems had to support ICE funding to win elections
