1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

every trans person in the US has a line. it's different for everyone but it exists. it says, "across this line i need to flee the country." a set of conditions where existing here is harder or more dangerous than leaving. the worst part is that most of us won't be able to when that line is crossed.

As an aside, conservative as they are, it IS kind of wild to me that Mormons don't realize they're on The List of Undesirables, too. Evangelicals regard them as being just as demonically-inspired as Catholics and Muslims, and I say that having heard those words out of Evangelical mouths.

Wow that’s super weird that the only methods to verify you’re an adult are also coincidentally things that someone who was trying to steal your identity would want.

One of the things I take great pleasure in is that JK published her detective series under a false name because she was insecure about the idea that her literary work would stand on its own merits. And it didn't. They leaked her name to recoup their losses. I hope that haunts her every day.

... the benny hill theme 😂

I find myself saying this a lot, lately....

Oh my god. "I don't know how to president" in action. Christ this country is such a fucking clown show.

So how do you find out if Bluesky has marked you as a potential Antifa? Do they send you an email, or.....?

Weird how this *remains relevant*

Anti-trans hate group Genspect is formally calling for trans people to be repathologized. This is most certainly to set the stage for mandated conversion therapy and potentially forced institutionalization. archive.ph/yA2Wh

This sounded so incredible, even today, so I didn't want to believe it. But it checks out: www.reuters.com/business/med...

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons he’s gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond. Iber’s questions are stellar. Przeworski’s answers, chillingly candid.

Wow, I'm getting old. I was happy I found my favorite dental floss that had been discontinued a couple years ago. Apparently they brought it back "by popular demand", at least for a while.

Debating doing another heraldry piece, but with a beheaded dragon and the scroll saying 'reclaim wealth' Yes im angry at capitalism today lol

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Is it not obvioys? He was checking off steps in his "how to Hitler" IKEA manual and misread "invade Poland."

anyway release the Epstein files

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

Keep the pressure on and maybe we'll find out what the government really thinks happened to Jimmy Hoffa, or like... bigfoot?

Rest assured they won't stop until they control EVERY form of media there is.

Starting to think that a better way to choose a supreme court justice would be that the PREDECESSOR of the sitting president gets to nominate the justice, to prevent a sitting president from choosing justices that favor him/her and to stop Congress from shenanigans. Also yeah they need term limits.

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “They were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists and hooded secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that.”

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false: www.wired.com/story/herita...

“This is an outrageous abuse of my personal data and privacy rights,” says user of site designed to abuse personal data and privacy rights. san.com/cc/app-for-o...

so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people. But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person. Denial makes things worse

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The lurch rightward on trans acceptance wasn't organic, it's a pogrom being initiated by the rich as part of the execution of fascism. Fascism is all about shrinking the boundaries of the national in-group to constantly create an internal enemy to scapegoat and distract from the real problem.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I have to say the rhetoric calling for open revolution disturbs me. Too many people romanticize it. It's usually people who've never seen someone die violently or lived in fear of being killed or considered the possibility of watching their family slowly starve because resources became scarce.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

“Anti-trans hysteria that has swept through the United States over the past few years would never have found so much purchase without the participation of elite liberal political and media institutions” This is just as true in the UK… Labour, the BBC, The Guardian are all complicit in promoting it!

I know I keep going on about this but 1) yes 2) it has DEEPLY embarrassed the media people who kept trying to pretend that this regime can be treated as legitimate, and 3) we absolutely cannot let them forget it

Do not comply in advance.

I sure hope there's a "rapture" planned when I need a new (to me) car at some point in the future.

Corollary to that, if he succeeds in turning us into our own Russia, Russians will have it better than we will because they get free healthcare. It's probably inefficient and kinda shit, but it's more than most of us will have. So I guess that should be motivation to keep fighting.

not me using up all my cbd concentrate to help me work my way back to a semi-normal sleep schedule again without the memory loss from diphenhydramine....

But the Dems still don't understand why we the people felt pressed for money and kept complaining about inflation under Biden... I guess it's hard to know that feeling when you've got insider buddies and money in the stock market and that's doing fine.

You're allowed to be disgusted or uncomfortable, whatever you feel about it is valid. But at the end of the day, they're drawings. We don't need laws against drawings. Get angry at our nasty fucking president instead, a real fucking predator who raped a 13 year old.

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

Oh, you won't have to worry about being reunited with him, one way or the other. We all know you're going to the same place.

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit. So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

Even greener...

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them
