Folks read this and were like "we have to stop looking for perfect people" and "we need to make allies" and blah blah blah. There have to be lines. You can't just keep shifting the line of decency in search of big names and numbers. It's dangerous to the people most at risk.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

Islamophobia is such that within two days, white supremacists invented a white man named Edward Crabtree to cover up the Muslim man who *actually* stopped the Bondi shooting (Ahmed al Ahmed), while also spreading false claims of a Muslim shooter at Brown shouting "Allahu Akbar"

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

I just want things to get better, for once I am so fucking tired

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

The UK has turned into a censorious nightmare state because of transphobia

Dems were in power 12 of the past 25 years with the chance to at least *attempt* to reduce the power of the police state and instead gleefully and massively expanded it at every single opportunity. They didn't even pretend to oppose any of this shit on principle, only the aesthetics.

Noam Chomsky made it very clear that he was a scumbag when he denied the Khmer Rouge genocide back in the 1970s: if you’ve been trying to deny the obvious about him ever since, well, that’s on you.

I’m so tired of queers who have never been to Texas basically writing off the lives of Texas queers as expendable and worthless

I'm sorry to say that I expected this

Don't listen to anyone telling you we don't need empathy. I can't remember which billionaire was trying to tell us empathy is overrated. Do you know the meaning? Being able to get how someone else feels. It can't be applied wrong. If you had it towards someone you couldn't be bigoted against them.

this website was 1000% better when it was just a bunch of trans women gassing each other up

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

Wow, that must be so terrifying to think you're being abducted.

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

seeing some arguments on my tl so let me break down very quickly why gender socialization arguments for trans people are bullshit. i wasn’t “socialized female,” i learned how to do an over the top simulacrum of womanhood because i feared being punished for not being one. that’s a different thing

Bitch you’re from South Africa, here on a fraudulent visa, voting in American elections in Texas. Eat shit and gargle hair

a lot of people don't know that the original harry potter manuscript was scrawled on the walls of a public bathroom while jkr hunched in the corner sniffing sharpies and screeching at everyone who entered to show her their labia

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

They found a way to make the J6 Pipe bomber trans.

my take on fonts is that using either Times New Roman or Calibri as the official font for government documents is insane. you should have a government font that the government commissions and thus places in the public domain. it's like if every government memo was stamped with a Microsoft watermark.

It's not sustainable to pay for every newsletter and Patreon you want to support. I subscribe to MANY and I am going to have to unsubscribe to some because it is costing me thousands of dollars a year (over $3000). More collectivist options need to be developed.

this week, congress has agreed to ban trans participation in sports at military academies and the opening bid to fix aca subsidies bans trans care coverage on obamacare exchanges why does it feel like we’re not seeing a five alarm fire from the lgbtq+ advocacy groups yet

it intensely angers me every time I open a book PDF in Acrobat and the software reminds me that I’m reading a Long Document and gee, wouldn’t I prefer a summary instead I am not a first grade child who requires the easy-reader version of big kid books, demon machine

i don't know how you can read something like this and not think the entire system needs to be brought to the ground. disbanding ICE is the moderate position

I wrote this thread in a fury. I neglected to note that trans men also need knowledge about menopause. As do nonbinary people. Back to your regular scheduled annoyance at the patriarchy

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

At the same time, USC is paying a presumably large sum of money to OpenAI to give students access to ChatGPT we-are.usc.edu/2025/12/03/a...

BREAKING: The #EugeneOR Police Department has just announced that it is immediately terminating its #FLOCK contract, citing "vulnerabilities and limitations that raise concerns about the systems ability to meet EPD's operational needs."

A lot of people ask why deepfake sexual abuse is legal—in theory, it’s not. But why perpetrators aren’t often held to account follows the exact same patterns of inaction regarding all forms of sexual abuse

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

cannot stress enough how bad it is to give teenage boys a "see this person naked" button. massive, multi-axis disaster

I hate to say that sex workers tried to warn y'all this wasn't going to stop at just porn sites, but...

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more

everyone needs to start pirating movies and TV shows again NOW

hey so that sounds like total shit. really fucking awful. bleak. soul and society destroying. world eating levels of bad.

Trump's ongoing attacks on the Somali community in the Twin Cities are disgusting, and I'm worried about what comes next. Folks from my whistle crew have already arranged to rush a few thousand whistles up to our friends in MN, but if you're looking for somewhere to channel frustration tonight...

The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

like i said months ago: reopen alcatraz and fill it with tech billionaires. they must be stopped.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

I have many complaints about Dem leadership but near the top of the list is their continual and unending embrace of Henry Cuellar, a guy who sucks and has always sucked Pelosi went to the mat for this guy in primaries! he's awful! cut him loose!

you fight transmisogyny by *fighting transmisogyny*, not by playing games with cis people’s colouring-book comprehension of sex and gender

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

This matching grant would be huge here for so many in need. Share this around and help if you can. #mutualaid #mutual-aid

longing once again for a world where more people are capable of grasping complex and inscrutable concepts like “it’s still really really good for Democrats if they *lose* by a much smaller margin than expected in Tennessee”
