Well this cartoon was definitely prophetic…

Some good news to share. 🙌 "Were this all that happened, it would have been remarkable enough—such aisle-crossing has become rare in modern politics, and on transgender issues, it is almost unheard of." open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Amazing encapsulation of how “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.”

I have friends- gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans- and none think about gay sex more than the righties that comment on my pro-2SLGBTQIA+ posts. They are obsessed with what people do in bed. Especially right men- they fascinate about man on man sex. Seems it's ALL they think about.

I created this version of Flip It Like This for a trans man. The original was plain, then a trans woman requested one, so I drew it. Now, here’s the trans man version! Want your own custom piece? Just reply with "commission", and we’ll make it happen! Much love!

For decades, self-proclaimed centrists and moderates have been in control of the Democratic Party. Now we’re having discussions on how to “save” or “rebuild” the party. Why would that task be left to those who architected the first popular vote loss in 20 years?!

I asked ChatGPT to create an accurate map of the ultimate destinations of the rubber duckies that fell out in the Pacific Ocean in 1990s. Here’s what it gave me:

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more). This is how the New York Times covered it.

Buy this shirt and help GLMA protect trans kids. (Link in comments.) The government cannot be allowed to deny our youth life-saving evidence-based care.

Everyone’s saying it’s the best win in Philly this week

Where we're at.

Christmas is not “merry” for everyone. I have memories of my momma crying & being depressed during this time of the year. Being poor and trying to make it happen for family is hard as hell. To my struggling sistas and brothas: never give up. I see you, you’re doing your best.

And just like that, the first anti LGBTQ bill in nearly 3 decades was signed by Biden and passed by a Democratic senate. It included a ban on gender affirming care for trans children of military families. So much for having our back, you god damn liar. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

it’s almost as if we’re living inside a movie about a business huckster president being controlled by a tech billionaire

So much this.

Pierre Poilievre is cozying up to Canada’s far-right broligarchs EXCELLENT piece from @parismarx.com!! A must read: breachmedia.ca/canada-far-r...

Teamsters general president Sean O’Brien: “Amazon rakes in more money than anybody… This rigged system cannot continue. Amazon must be held accountable to workers and consumers alike. If workers are forced onto the picket line, Amazon will be striking itself.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Part of the dehumanization process of minorities is removing them from the culture so that it's easier to dehumanize them.

85% of Democratic voters support Medicare for All. Yet, it’s not a part of the official DNC platform.

View from the left. Workers are under siege. ✊ "Kaplan’s commission will undoubtedly endorse the “Amazonification” of Canada Post’s operations which management is seeking, including the expansion of low-paid casual workers. " www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

None of us can afford not to…

Text message from my brother yesterday. 💛💛💛

A List of Things People Blamed on Working Women 🧵

I find it interesting how moralistic some people are being about the killing of the CEO of a private health insurance company yet how silent they’ve been on the killing of hundreds—if not thousands—of people as a result of that company’s policies.

"When the rich rob the poor it's called business, when the poor fight back it's called violence" Poster spotted in Brunswick, Melbourne

"This is how feckless liberalism condemns us to fascism. It offers us no future, while silencing the leftists who try. It’s no longer believable to say you represent workers and donors, oil companies and the environment. You have to pick one. When the chips are down, you have to pick a side." Left.

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.

Trudeau’s govt needs to change course immediately if they want to have any hope of preventing Canada from moving in the same direction the US has gone. www.readthemaple.com/trudeaus-fai...

I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines. Kill me now.

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

Democrats spent years saying the economy was “booming” while people struggled to afford rent and groceries. They called it “Bidenomics.” Then they funded a genocide. These two things doomed them electorally. Anyone saying otherwise is simply making noise.

🚨PERSONAL NEWS: I have just submitted my job application to Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy's new Department of Government Efficiency.

Oh, is Bluesky an echo chamber? Really? Are we missing out on the valuable contributions to human knowledge from people who post links to YouTube conspiracy videos and give their very important thoughts on White Birth Rates? Wow, that's really sad. I'm so sad about that.

Way too long in coming.

Tonight is probably one of the worst mental health crisis in the trans community I've ever seen. It's bleak. So many people are in crisis and I'm scared I'm going to wake up tomorrow and have lost friends. Please reach out to your trans friends and family. They could use some love.
