been saying for years that biohacking is the realest transfeminist praxis and yet it is still seemingly a fringe position that we need to crowdsource scientific knowledge on transition because all the institutional knowledge about it is outdated Dark Ages garbage

you don’t need to take HRT to be trans, but many trans people do need to take HRT. i am in that category; i need to give my body estrogen. if you are trans, it is your responsibility to defend the bodily autonomy of everyone, not just those who have identities similar to yours.

This motherfucker regularly invites fascists on his show and says "I agree with you."

I have never sympathized more with the leftist physicists who fled Hitler and became convinced that nothing was more important than the total defeat of Germany, even if by a capitalist state or stalinist dystopia. It's crucial we hold onto our principles rather than be reactive campists, but goddamn

I think libs are becoming full-on conspiracy theorists. Everything is Putin. You can't go to any liberal-heavy reply thread without a majority of them blaming whatever the problem is directly on Putin.

"Change the system!" says the resistbot urging people to vote for the party that's been in power since 1828

Vote blue to stop fascism, blue gets into office, blue gives fascists more money to fund their operations of mass deportation and basically ethnic cleansing.

So fucking sick of people coming out to explain how fascism is the fault of everyone except the fascists.

I don't give a fuck what insipid slogan Democrats come up with about ICE. they are not coming to help the people or they would have by now. The ordinary people of Minneapolis have done more for our rights over the past week than elected Democrats have done in decades

begging for reform is the rhetoric of intellectual cowards. we must demand abolition with conviction & integrity.

you can never invent a language of justice which cannot be learned and spoken fluently by those who want anything but the meaning of those words. pattern of actions are where it's at

i want all you "don't provoke them" "don't give them an excuse" "that's just what they want" people to imagine someone saying that in late 1930s germany and tell me what you think of that person

I added (and cis) because my anger at 26 year olds calling themselves elders was overcome with being sad when trans people have to do it

human civilization is about managing the worst impulses of our feral behaviors and border control doesn’t do shit to help with any of that. What we have been seeing for 25 years now is that border control actively denies and devolves the best of what a human civilization can be

All the democrats refusing to abolish ICE because it's "bad optics" were alive when the organization didn't even exist

Very chill and good that we've allowed this campist brainrot to spread and become the default politics of baby leftists online.

Catholics: God is in works. Protestants: You find God through working. Puritans: WORK is GOD

Will focusing his endless font of energy when it comes to being annoying towards ICE totally rules and I tip my cap. Someone buy that man a tank of gas

Coming to your city too if we continue to refuse to accept that inaction and appeasement has never stopped fascism, and it won't stop fascism this time either. Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz, do your fucking jobs to protect your constituents.

The crazy thing about 8-but theater is that even though thr first year has all the memes, it actually gets better and better through the conclusion. No wonder Brian Clevinger became a full published comic book writer.

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

The Democrats are a counter-insurgency operation, not a political party.

seriously. I'd so much rather work toward something that would actually make the world a better place, like *my lawyer knocks me unconscious with a steel chair and drags me away*

Indivisible is like the most normie lib group ever. If they’re going after them, they will come after everyone

They did so while advancing the same or not significantly different policies. No one is going to believe you think ICE are a Fascist gestapo if you're ready to double their funding, if you're taking Trumps border policies from last election, and you're greenlighting a genocide while attacking your

If your guide to what you can do in response to climate change isn't willing to be so radical as to suggest public transit at all, then you've made a bad guide. Sorry American Meteorological Society, I'm just calling it how I see it.

Democrats are fascists. Abandon them.

The situationist Internationale said all power to the councils. They were a council communist Marxist movement in that they did read and cite Marx but favored a spontaneous approach to Marxism based on resisting the media spectacle. The SI was a revolutionary arts council. They used art for revolt.

It's interesting to think that there started being a fairly insistent left wing strain in American politics since the W Bush administration which has only grown - and one of the dominant forces in US politics making sure it didn't win wasn't Republicans, but Dems. Hence leftists being sick of them.

It seemed pretty clear. You were obviously dismissing the explicitly stated intended end result of the passage of KOSA (removal of queer and bodily-autonomy related content from the public internet) as being equivalent to the individual mandate of the ACA. Why else would you shrug them off?

I know racism is still alive because the greatest bromance in recent television history is the relationship between Shawn and Gus and it does not get talked about enough

Anyone have any hot takes about Trump reportedly talking about stopping the midterms?

If—as Stephen Miller implies—governments do not represent the people they rule over, if they do not have our best interests at heart but simply seize what they can for themselves, then no one is obligated to obey them. The only question is how to build up enough collective strength to defeat them.🏴

World: "I need you to awaken once more Denmark." Denmark: "Is it for cookies? All my neighbors get cookies and i only get woken up on the eve of war." World: ... "its not for cookies"

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/789994568

I've gotten two posts with over 100 likes in ywo days. I need to start posting worse again.

the entire capitalist system holds a gun to our head, forcing us to work for capitalists or literally die. but it doesn't have to be this way. we can take their hoarded wealth back from them and use it to help the needy and improve society. your options are: fascism or socialism. choose wisely!

i think if you acknowledge the past decade of stalled and failed technological progress (at least in the consumer product space), you know that we're not headed into some tech utopia and we don't need tech to build a utopia, we just need people willing to work for the benefit of all, not the few.

And then, I don't know, the criticism also becomes weird and individualistic. Like I have a dear friend who is a disabled artist who writes her own code for image gen and gets torn apart by it on the regular with straight up ableist disability porn ("X person drew with their feet, why can't you?").

Petition to rename Pascal's wager to Galloway's fallacy.

For all the kiddos or the people lost in life; remember that the expectations of being an adult laid before you are given to you by people who dont know what they are talking about. There is no "right way" to be an adult, we create unprecedented conditions and expect conformity but that isnt truth.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

This is what we want from Democrats. Fix shit. Fight for all of us. More of this

It’s not just poly market framing it this way Actual quote

Okay this one is pretty good still

People acting up against ICE does give me hope, cause that's a scary situation to put yourself in.

any time there’s any type of protest activity that stretches beyond parading, we get a massive flood of voices insisting it’s invalid for any number of reasons. and gradually, any type of protest that even thinks to peek beyond parading dwindles to nothing. makes you wonder when folks will wisen up

it was fucking Pod Save America who tried to push Platner and make excuses for the tattoo, and leftists were like “absolutely not wtf”…and we still get blamed for it lol
