gender isnt a binary, it's a hierarchy

If the joke is just, "Oh, isn't it humiliating that all these misogynistic men are wearing skirts?", you're not being progressive, you're being transmisogynistic because misogyny IS the joke of this meme. Not to mention, transphobia helped Trump win the election. Get better memes.

Thanks to the FTC spokesperson who suggests that @wired.com “Stick to computers.” But no.

Healthcare funding is trending, and it feels like a sign to raise awareness—chronically ill people are struggling to afford meds and sometimes go days without them. I’m crowdfunding for my sickle cell care just to survive. Please support or share 💊 💊: ko-fi.com/brandystipjar #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

It probably does also need further discussion of the fact that, when the government forces a private institution, such as a university, to platform a specific speaker voicing specific ideologies, through threat of a fine, that no longer constitutes free speech. That is compelled speech.

Palantir should not be allowed to have any government contracts at any level because it is fundamentally opposed to the basic concepts of liberal democracy. gizmodo.com/palantir-pos...

Seems disqualifying for a major defense contractor to loudly voice the deeply held social/political beliefs of their ceo at all, even if not batshit.

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

"no no, our AI agent has assured me that the son of Numenor absolutely has the ring of power and he's gonna march right up to the gate with a tiny force, all we have to do is send out armed troops to take it back 🙂"

[attending the Nazi gala]: heh if they only knew I have a message folded up and jammed into my pocket oh yes please I'll have more champagne

Now that Christopher is dead I suspect at some point we’re going to get a Thiel redaction of THE LORD OF THE RINGS which is going to remove or radically rewrite all the parts he can’t make fit with his worldview. If the current order lasts long enough that’ll end up being the only one available

Best post I saw was "This is just pedo infighting and you're picking a side"

I’ve had dozens of people at book publishers tell me “ we’d love to sign you. Your memoir is incredible. It’ll be a best seller for sure. We can’t right now though. We can’t sign an antiracist feminist trans girl in this political climate. We will be targeted. Surely you understand.“

I will never vote for John Fetterman.

i don't like that platner guy because a) nazi tattoo & b) if a genuine progressive was revealed to have a regretted nazi tattoo somehow they would be subjected to relentless attacks over it from places that're suspiciously quiet about platner. i consider that telling

centrist dems shaking in fear at the prospect of taking a single step to the left, sighing in relief when they see the tattoo. phew, he's only a nazi, we were worried for a minute there

one reason i have been pushing for things like laws requiring their states to step in with local funding for trans care is not because they would do it but because it would create opportunities for radicalization when they didn't anyway same effect as accelerationism without doing accelerationism!

Hey Booker real quick buddy can you look straight into the camera and say what the people you’re talking about didn’t agree with her on? Just like, for reference? What was that 10 percent that people couldn’t get past?

"sure you might disagree with 10% of her views..."

Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it

"You let someone get into office..." That's a lot of responsibility to be dumping on people you acknowledge are already pretty close to you in beliefs. Instead of berating them, you might consider what you could do to appeal to them, since, like you said, they agree with you on 90% of things.

Has anyone thought of asking the "woke" Pope if sentencing millions of trans people to misery and death by unilaterally cutting off their healthcare is in his interest or no

Every time a Democrat mentions how to talk to "ordinary people" they mean "how I was told to talk by a handful of weirdo consultants in DC with gross fixations on throwing certain groups under the bus and who would not last a day in an ordinary job interacting with ordinary people."

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Me: Palantir is an evil company founded by evil people to do evil. Palantir: Yup.

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

Yeah but at least SHE feels safe in that SUV (she's 100% said this a million times)

mother-involved car-running-over incident occurred

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

"get mad at the right, not the democrats" I am so mad at the right I am unfortunately also getting mad at the democrats who aren't mad enough at the right. that's what being mad at the right means lol

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

I'm gonna be honest I think it's probably bad that we're trying to give this extremely obviously nazi company all of our health data.

On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk. If you're secure with yourself, feeling good BEING yourself, they can't tell you you're broken and then sell you a "fix"

i thought this was AoE2 at first and was like "damn that unique unit sounds cracked"

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

If what Dem politicians mean by "accountability" is that they plan to prosecute people, then they should say that.

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty

you have more in common with a poor opium farmer from afghanistan than the billionaire nazi who's lived in the same city as you their entire life

Jared Golden (Maine) was the lone Democrat to oppose it. And Warren Davidson (Ohio) abstained by voting “present”. Isn’t it the job of House leadership to whip the votes they need…assuming they actually want a vote to pass.

It's quite telling that Pete Hegseth and Tucker Carlson are two Protestants on diametrically opposing sites of the right-wing schism over the Iran War, and yet for both of them, the other side is the Jews.

well, im finally doing it gofund.me/f5c100128

Please send this around. Lets get Juno her HRT

"People are capable of recognizing when they are suffering and communicating that they are suffering" and "People's intuitions of what is morally and socially good are fundamentally beyond reproach" are different sentiments, and your decision to interpret them as equivalent is a decision you made.

The perfect template for disc horse replies does need to start with "Okay let's try a different approach" followed by equally baffling nonsense.

Yeah, I know it happens! It’s happened to friends of mine. And I don’t think it’s a big deal, unless somebody makes a habit of it. If you only date people who are significantly younger than you, I think that says something about you. And it’s not great.

free speech is when you're free to shut up and sit there while i give a speech

You know there's going o be a million "whatever I still don't like her." because people are too proud to consider for even a second that they can fall for propaganda. Even though that is much less embarrassing than doubling down.
