I feel like it’s so easy to not be a transphobic piece of shit. And yet.

Too many people are convinced the only people who will be in danger, and should be okay with some inherent danger, are the “bad” people who are always targeted by state violence.

I think now is a good time to re-post this clip from my Halloween vid last year. Shows like Dead End will always be important. Representation will always be important. Especially in a world where hate and bigotry continue to persist.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

This is also for anyone in the US labeled as an enemy of the State. ICE has been a test on top of a goal. "How cruel can the US Gov be before its citizens fight back?" The answer is very very cruel. They're also trying to push US facism globally they won't accept this in return from any other nation

This passage nearly broke me.

Best I got is to watch Schitts Creek, TNG, or DS9 on a loop. Well, DS9, but skip the Dominion War stuff. That is some heavy shit. And that episode where O'Brien spends 40 years in prison and loses himself. And and "The Sound of Her Voice". And "The Visitor". And "Far Beyond the Stars". And...

Emma Watson earned her success. HP franchise boosted it, but if Watson sucked, she wouldn't be in the privileged position Rowling accuses her of. Leave it to the rich and very rich to think because they gave someone a shot, they own that person for life

CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. Seriously, all hands on deck, this is going nowhere good and is going to be a stain on our country forever. Call, please!

I ALSO GOT THROUGH TO A HUMAN AT SCHUMER'S 202 NUMBER - 202-224-6542 Make those calls, friends! Tell them to vote NO on any bill that cuts trans health care - tell them that trans healthcare saves lives and defending this is worth a shutdown.

cis people don’t understand trans people have been living with a gun to our head for nine months and every so often the guy holding it yells BANG and we’re expected to go on as normal

I think the people who are actually in charge of those deals understand that what they're ultimately going to do is just liquidate EA and use that money to pay off the loan while they themselves walk out with billions, but this type of nonsense narrative is a big part of *selling* those deals

Hi @unbreaking.org maintains a TL and issue page of the attacks on trans healthcare . You NEED to call your senator . You NEED to make this a problem . It is coordinated to absolutely destroy trans people and begin removing all reproductive rights unbreaking.org/issues/trans...

oh look, it’s literally the thing i wrote about for @rollingstone.com happening in real time. as we speak. like exactly what i reported, like a carbon copy. as a reminder, here’s what i said people within the party and trans care advocates believe will most likely happen next.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

“Anti-trans activists frequently point out the statistically higher percentage of trans people who are also autistic compared to the general population as another reason to override our autonomy as free and equal people by denying us health care” Transphobia and ableism are bedmates.

Reading this, I'm seeing something I call the swerve there are people, usually with a high level of in-born privilege, who *will not see certain things.* They just *won't.* And if you put it in front of their faces they will do ANYTHING to insist it's not there. Klein keeps swerving.

The barriers put in place to stop any trans girls from playing with others girls are so complicated and onerous that TEN SCHOOLS can’t get enough cis girls through them to field soccer teams this year. “Respect for women’s sports” my ass.

Coates says Black Americans have stories about relatives who were lynched or had to flee and that a life free of political violence is not in reach in his time Klein: "Sometimes I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic." They lynched a kid last week.

So exhausting..

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

*nods in Jesse Jackson*

Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday. This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections. The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders. Call your Dem senators, people, don't let them capitulate.

Hmmm dailycaller.com/2025/09/26/i...

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

Refusing to learn from history is a form of erasing it .

president of the united states: i have ordered 300.000 soldiers to "go goblin mode" on ethnic minorities voters: oh my god please someone help us hakeem jeffries: dont worry i got this *opens twitter* heh. hows an occupation gonna lower the tax burden on middle incomes in the 35-55 age bracket

Oh hey a bunch of white dudes with blogs still talking about Ezra Klein with no plan or even nominal move to help support the voices Klein is definitely trying to erase But Subscribe to their newsletter ! Make America white men debating everyone’s humanity via quip again

You guys. It’s clearly not the massive kleptocracy of dunces destroying our was of life for pay from garbage sources, it’s probably someone questioning their gender identity in an Arby’s in Ohio somewhere. Akron, maybe.

A MAGA nutjob owns CNN and CBS and is getting control of TikTok. Twitter and Facebook are controlled by wingnuts, as are the WaPo and LAT and a majority of local tv and radio stations. And yet this reality rarely comes up in discussions of the Dems’ messaging problems or lack of popularity.

I wonder why Pete Hegseth put out that "war crimes and civilian massacres will get you medals" PSA this week

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

are you cis & reading along nodding gently but thinking, “still, we have to pick our battles” and you’re not gonna read a whole ACLU complaint or article? read this. trans people: i use the one with the highlights because we all recognize it and you already know to just look away.

the thing about incarcerated trans people is that virtually no one will stand up for them & that’s fucking horrific because i literally cannot think of a worse place to be a trans person in america than prison. if you’re cis you should read this. trans people, keep on scrolling; you already know.

In a statement ICE claimed Arias-Mendoza had a number of previous arrests and entered the country illegally at some point. This journalist is not in the business of taking ICE at their word.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

Looking for a new therapist, sent an email to one. Took a week for them to reply after questionnaire. Despite me saying my availability was flexible, they told me: "Unfortunately, we don’t have openings that fit your availability." Ok, so not a helpful organization for my trust issues, goooooot it

Pete Hegseth is afraid of anyone who isn't a cis heterosexual white evangelical US-born male. So much so that his whole tenure so far is erasing anyone who isn't that. So he's afraid of like, 99.8% of the planet (at best) and he's going to lecture on being a warrior?

ICE are cowardly and crave other people's pain

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

I love accidentally making people mad at me so often in casual conversations about nothing that is serious in nature
