To be clear, this is why people are able to claim both parties are the same. This is the stuff they’re talking about

Wait till you read how he was fucking hired

69 means a sex thing (cool) 420 means a weed thing (cool) 58008 means boobs (cool) 67 means nothing. QED Gen Z/A uncool.

THIS is the reality… ‘Gender critical’ transphobic lobby platform ‘WDI’ have been collecting signatures on their anti-trans letter since 2019 and have only managed to muster up from the whole world about HALF of the signatures NION Women have got almost entirely from UK women in less than a year!

reasonable, centrist, grown-ups in the room: the left are enabling the far right and that's why we basically have fascism now. reasonable, centrist, grown-ups in the room: watch me legitimise racist talking points on the next episode of this far right podcast.

I'm old enough to remember when "fandom" wasn't a thing and you just liked stuff without making it your whole fucking personality.

The last time I saw a freakout with this kind of characteristic was Obama. There were some principled stands but like most of it was just pure fury he was black.

They're literally just so mad he's muslim lol.

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,

Gavin Newsom sucks.

These guys have always been pieces of shit.

Merry Christmas

"nearly half" is a really funny way to describe losing an election lol

Putting White’s comment at the bottom of this thread for the record bc he has chosen to block me

You can report factually and be on your readers’ side. Suggesting otherwise is disingenuous at best.

We need more journalists who don’t pretend the rising wave of right-wing inspired transphobia, racism, misogyny, predation, authoritarianism, homophobia and corruption is something they should shrug at and say “we can’t take sides” Which ofc is taking a side.

He too, btw, is not journalist himself It’s yet another short step to disqualify queer journalists who don’t toe a political line from covering issues all about us. Condé Nast and NBC did just that, laying off queer journalists en masse and eliminating the v few remaining platforms by and about us

It’s a v short step then for any news org to disqualify, say Black ppl, from covering issues of race. WaPo fired one of the world’s preeminent opinion journalists for daring to quote Charlie Kirk’s own words. In an interesting convergence, the ceo of FIRE found a way to scold this journalist.

The nyt has had a de facto ban on hiring/assigning trans journalists to cover trans issues. It’s been true for at least five years. It’s the exemplification of bigotry. Our being trans automatically disqualifies us from being involved in coverage that is all about us.

So forgive me if I happen to take issue with a lawyer/pundit who wants to decide for us all who is worthy of covering certain news, and who is not. Coverage of trans people has been particularly subjected to efforts to disqualify certain journalists, as it was here.

This thread. Oh my god this thread. Read it. Especially if you’re a reporter. Pursue justice. Journalism—or law, for that matter—not grounded in the pursuit of justice is worthless.

Literally every single major medical org in the US-- ALL the big household names like the AMA, ANA, etc-- support gender-affirming care for trans adults AND CHILDREN. Here, in this thread, is the proof. American Medical Association statement: www.ama-assn.org/press-center...

we had like 10 solid years of women going "no means no - please stop raping us if we ask you to" and then in those 10 years all of society built up a collective rage so powerful that now the most soulless men in your high school made a machine to steal your likeness to use as a rape torment bot 24/7

i am not a “don’t retweet, they just want attention!” person, but, in this specific case (and in the case of the various gov accounts) i am begging you to understand that miller knows all this shit and he is counting on you to correct him. they know. getting you to react and spread it is the point.

I wish there was a pretty girl for me to snuggle with when I'm lonely and cold

One of my favorite bits of sports lore is that the NHL hockey team the Tampa Bay lightning was once owned by the yakuza.

Help a disabled trans woman get some food today if you can.

Me, a lesbian: *minding my own business* Natasha Aughey:

I just scandalized the family group chat by saying that the only thing worth mourning about Bridgette Bardot is that it took the fascist trash 91 years to die. I will radicalize this family bit by bit till they all get it or disown me completely.

These motherfuckers who shill AI keep saying 'the genie is out of the bottle'. You realise that stories are full of ways to trick the fucking genie back into the bottle, right? You keep using that metaphor but I do not think it means what you think it means.

Cis women are on this site talking about wanting a (cis) man to "top" them and y'all, we should never have let gay language break containment.

Yet another banger of a giveaway game today. Again, 24 hours only - Skald: Against The Black Priory, a pointed DOS-styled, EGA-graphics old school RPG.

hey so Erin is family to a close friend and I'm posting this on her behalf as she doesn't use social media much. please boost this and circulate it as your can. Erin really needs help to remain housed and feed. thank you #transcrowdfund 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Brigitte Bardot, known for being hot once but spent most of her later years being a racist piece of garbage and living waaaay too long, dead at 91

Texans, there's a lot of misinformation out there about the new law going into effect that requires some county sheriffs to partner with ICE. Here are a few things to know. 🧵 1/6

While 86% of people in Texas live in counties with populations over 100k, there are about 4.5 million people who don't—and who should understand that their sheriffs' offices are *not* required to partner with ICE. 3/6

"The AI tools are going to get better" ok great call me when they're better and I'll use them more then

I’m just going to say this (not diving back into an argument or attacking anyone): The idea that journalists cannot accurately or fully report on topics they have strong feelings about is silly.

It's combined with the belief that it's not a bias to have strong preference for the status quo (see every centrist pundit) which, when you see it, makes the absurdity even clearer.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Oh, yeah, reminder that ancestry DNA tests are a scam - there's actually only slight differences in the frequency of certain alleles between ethnic groups, not clear genetic markers, so these tests just assume having a gene that's common in a group means you must be from that group

Is she interviewing herself?

Ah yes the "white supremacist kidnappers, torturers and murderers are victims too!" Jesus. I don't have words for my contempt

Contempt is one of my favorite films but like how racist do you have to be to get fined for racism once let alone six times in France lol

It's always so sad to me when a woman thinks having a boyfriend or husband is an achievement or something to brag about. The patriarchy is coming from inside the house, girl.

Me (emerging from a tank I have driven through your house) now is a time for healing

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.
