"I'll tell you right now- if we don't do these illegal and anti-constitutional things with the utmost urgency, we are all going to prison."

i put spam on "warn" and nothing changed, but the second i turned it off suddenly i could see Palestinian accounts again I'm sure it's juuuuust a coincidence

USERS: we love Bluesky but it has problems BLUESKY: great we'll fix them USERS: do you want to know what they are BLUESKY: absolutely not

Ask not what rights you're ready for trans people to lose so that the left wins. Ask yourself what rights you're ready to lose, yourself, so that the left wins. And if the answer is "I don't see how me losing rights is necessary for the left to win?", go take a long walk on a short pier.

oh wow. you are absolutely insufferable, huh? it's not enough for you that i voted for harris, i also have to shut up about genocide? i have to have no sympathy or solidarity with those who couldnt, in good conscience, vote for a genocider? fuck off.

Okay. I’ve been out of most of my HRT for about a month because of insurance / doctor’s office issues I can FINALLY pick all of my HRT up tomorrow though Can I please have tips to get all my meds tomorrow ?

i think we can justifiably slice this thinner. trans issues are of very low salience to the voters democrats need to win on their right flank, and of very high salience to the voters democrats need to win on their left flank

This is really important for women like us. Please help out❤️

You can't even call Tesla shareholders a proper cargo cult though, because half the time Elon can't make the car go.

Villains used to obfuscate. They looked normal on tv and said things like "Fiscal discipline." Now you have grotesque guys hissing "Empathy is weakness" like a cartoon

The "Trump v. Hawaii" standard they're citing to justify this was the case in Trump 1.0 when SCOTUS greenlit his Muslim travel ban, emphasizing that your rights are only as strong as your neighbors

Ross Douthat right now:

YES THANK YOU

It's funny, we say "you don't need dysphoria to be trans," and that's 100% true, but also there's like a 90% chance that once you realise you're trans you also realise there's a shitload of dysphoria you'd been repressing 🙃

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry. Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

You think you can experience joy—a famously bourgeois emotion—and still call yourself a communist?? Pathetic.

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Cuomo’s desperate inauthentic AI slop ads perfectly captured his desperate inauthentic sloppy brand. Voters rejected it.

One minor take-away from the NYC mayor's race for those concerned with AI/synthetic media and its effects on politics and elections might be that, in this particular instance, the guy who made a malicious deepfake lost and the guy who made authentic videos won.

when people say "estrogen could have fixed her" about the worst people: no. that's just a way of creating more brianna wus in lab conditions

I know that it’s because of the ceasefire but all the donations stopping right when there are actual affordable food in the markets is rough for people

So glad things went the way they did last night. But now let’s maybe cool it with the hero worship of politicians, yeah? That’s partly why we’re in this mess. They work for us.

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

"Vote for me because I will only sell out the things you don't care about, I pinky swear" is a hell of a closing pitch for a guy who killed a bunch of grandmas just a few years ago.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

You aren’t alone. bsky.app/profile/gbro...

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

As someone who grew up counting every last SNAP dollar, this is intentionally cruel. Trump has the money to provide full SNAP benefits during the Republican shutdown—and he's choosing to let families struggle. Hungry children deserve full bellies. Not crumbs.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal." Which is true for trans kids too.

People want identity shortcuts for "who is worth listening to" and "which ideas are correct" and I implore you all to abandon that impulse, because that's not the world we live in. Listen to the marginalized because our voices are erased, but also... think. Judge by word and deed.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

And this is why folks like @wolvendamien.bsky.social @hypervisible.blacksky.app and numerous others have been saying that facial recognition is SUPER BAD, on multiple axes, for years

this is so freakin cool! i just wish they had a she/it option

me when the trans poster is crashing out in my replies and being a weirdo but i remember she's living in a hostile country with low access to hrt and has no irl queer community around her for 100+ miles

I suspect that if Clay Higgins discovered that a family receiving SNAP benefits had a months' worth of food stockpiled in their home, Clay Higgins would be outraged that a family with tons of food is receiving SNAP benefits.

Ultimately, this is a pincer movement to eliminate access to care. Force all medical billing for GAC to use explicit codes only for trans people or face investigations for "fraud." Then ban care that utilizes those codes. The ultimate goal is fully banning this care entirely for all trans people.

The ADL is trying desperately to curry favor with a Christian nationalist right-wing that will never truly accept them. And the rest of us will suffer. www.jta.org/2025/10/29/u...

7 million people in the streets: No Kings! Trans Rights! Break the Oligarchs! Free Palestine! Protect Democracy! Simon Bazelon [holding up the framed degree he got 5 months ago]: my mommy says trans women are yucky

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

dont forget to drink water!!!

you know that horrific thing trump just did to criminalize homelessness in a way to bring back forced institutionalization? gavin newsom did it years ago

The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.
