Sartre writes here about antisemites specifically, but he is referring to the fascist ethos, overarchingly. They key is very much to take them seriously, at their word, when they say ridiculous things, and that's what liberals like Newsom and Jeffries get wrong: they are never just "playing".

you can get paid $277,000 a year plus equity to make an ML algorithm that will flag this tweet as misleading btw (attached salary is for Senior Machine Learning Engineer)

this is an incredible read. there are so many absurd things I could not even fit it into a thread here to do it justice. but this bit at the end sums it up. Ezra has a massive ego and literally can't handle being shown he is wrong and constantly deflects, rather than engage in good-faith discourse.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

this is really, really bad btw. please send to your UCLA friends.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk said recently in regards to trans healthcare for minors, “We are going to have to follow whatever rules the federal government proposes.” It's unclear if that includes UCLA Health, but this is very worrying and shows the need for a community response. archive.ph/DfR0M

the thing about incarcerated trans people is that virtually no one will stand up for them & that’s fucking horrific because i literally cannot think of a worse place to be a trans person in america than prison. if you’re cis you should read this. trans people, keep on scrolling; you already know.

not true

oh no oh fuck

realizing i never boosted this when it came out - i strongly, strongly implore all of you to read this. its an essential piece right now, and gives hope where it is sorely needed.

Once again y'all, a homeless transfem friend of mine needs help to not end up back on the street. Please donate or share as you can.

just want to call this out because Trump has already been saying this but it is seeming unlikely that Trump will approve of ACA credit extensions if they don't include provisions that ban trans care from being covered on those plans. watch very closely to make sure Dems don't go along w/this idea.

NEW: The Heritage Foundation has been pushing a statistic about "trans ideology" and school shooters as it urges the FBI to adopt a new classification for trans terrorism. It is, as @dell.bsky.social and @couts.bsky.social report, the result of bullshit methodology:

NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters: • Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza • Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023 • 60% oppose more military aid to Israel • 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

We can actually confirm this. An anonymous (verified) Stripe employee told me last month that Stripe does not permit *any* sale of adult content, regardless of whether it is delisted. Stripe explained this to Itch in August, while Itch was continuously misleading their community (and harassing us).

I'm at the stage of capitalism where I was forced to sign up for an app to use my buildings laundry machines and now my buildings laundry is emailing me ads to buy roadside assistance lmao not to be a boomer but back in my day, laundry machine companies sold laundry machines, not ads

“Turning Point USA stooges told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Worker groups like @notechforapartheid.bsky.social and No Azure For Apartheid have been pressuring Microsoft for months or years on issues like these. Microsoft tries to silence dissent and make workers feel powerless--but they aren't. Every employee who was fired for standing up is saving lives.

Politico is reporting that Trump is messaging that extensions of existing ACA tax credits for everyone are bad because trans people might be able to get healthcare... Other GOP leadership want to focus on messaging about banning healthcare for undocumented people. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Centrists DEMs calling for civility and acting like everything is normal makes sense when you remember that most of congress is millionaires and none of this shit that’s happening will impact them personally.

i think a lot of the whole gen z hates sex scenes thing can largely be boiled down to "generation that lives with parents doesn't want their parents to walk in at the wrong time"

this is plainly illegal, and if they'd wanted to do it, they'd have done it before anyway. they're bluffing and they know they're bluffing. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One million Disney+ subscriptions to protect the human rights of a rich white man. How many people will cancel their HBO subscriptions once Harry Potter is released in order to protect the human rights of trans people everywhere?

"Cell phone images smuggled out of jails and prisons across the country reveal food that hardly looks edible, let alone nutritious. ...kitchen workers at prisons in Arizona, Oregon, and elsewhere reported seeing boxes of food that were served to prisoners marked: 'not for human consumption.'"

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

people will say "this shows it's a bad slogan" and no what it shows is that a bipartisan ratfuck can kill a good idea

Journalists are jumping to report on politicians making ABSURD claims about the impact of Tylenol Yet when a handful of cranks made UNEVIDENCED claims about hormone blockers for trans kids, they jumped on the bandwagon to promote a (debunked) ‘review’ 😣 ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/w...

In the news from Texas: Angelo State University has just informed faculty that "if they make any statement implying that there are more than two sexes or genders (male and female) they will be fired." conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

Yesterday, I left a message for UCLA at a collaborative art event they were holding to kick off the new term. The prompt was "Tell a story in 6 words." UCLA Health provides trans healthcare to thousands of trans people. Don't let them cave to Trump's extortion to ban trans care for minors!

NEW @teenvogue.com: a Texas bill passed this summer mandating schools deadname trans students, leaving enforcement to districts. @kitoconnell.com speaks to trans students in TX: “I’ve never felt more at threat here. I can’t stop thinking that everything would be so different if I detransitioned.”

I am not exaggerating when I say reading this in my email inbox flooded my heart with hope. If you’re trans, please read:

Despite all the laws and rhetoric and violence, the number of people who identify as trans still continues to increase across the country, every year. Their attacks are escalating precisely because they are afraid and desperate they have failed so far. "Oppression is the mask of fear."

Fascism is a hateful, suicidal ideology. Trans existence is an indomitable, inconsolable fact of the universe. We survived the AIDS genocides, the Holocaust, and erasure of Indigenous gender identities. And we will survive this genocide too. transnews.network/p/on-survivi...

Writing this article helped me rebound from a bad place earlier this week. I hope reading it will help some of you feel a little better too <3 Never stop fighting!

In the face of mounting threats of genocide against the trans community, how can trans people still find hope? In our latest, Mady Castigan (@madycast.com) reminds us that despite the doom and fear spreading across social media, we will survive this genocide as we have survived them before.

this could literally be you btw, just be a cute girl in my vicinity who makes a deal with the lesbian devil* *(I'll give you free tech support if you play factorio with me :3)

Pretty hilarious to see a certain clique of rich white women who are trying to gain access to a certain congresswoman debase themselves to defend Kirk lol. And AOC was already a sellout, but scolding trans people for criticizing McBride while lying about leadership whips is a new low, even for her.

Just another "Pro-LGBTQ" Democrat coming out very strongly against the trans community. Harris claims she can discriminate against trans girls without vilifying kids, while repeating incorrect transphobic ideas and vilifying kids.

Resistance ramps up inside CA's newest ICE prison "Yesterday, over 100 immigrants detained at the California City ICE Detention Center launched a peaceful collective action, including sit-ins and meal refusals, to protest severe abuse and neglect." www.ccijustice.org/post/retalia...

okay aoc here's my question for you: why did 95 of your colleagues vote to honor the legacy of a fascist that wants immigrants & trans people dead? why do you claim this was from leadership even tho the vote distr disagrees? why are you using taxpayer money to defend ur colleagues voting for this?

Fact check: Axios reported leadership was NOT whipping for the vote, even though they did support it. You can tell this is likely the case because many Dems (like CBC) voted No. McBride is talked about because she acts like she represents trans people, and constant demeans our efforts. Very simple.

there is a man standing outside YOUR door right now. he's holding a medieval poleax and he's going to rip you to absolute shreds with it. please subscribe to my newsletter for more updates about the man

Charlie Kirk argued that mobs should line up in front of swimming pools threaten Lia Thomas if she tried to swim, you bootlicking ghouls are the fucking handmaidens of fascism Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

lmao
