Freedom is a lie in capitalist liberal systems. Democracy isn't real when corpos and the rich control everything. No one makes an actual choice because the need to survive forces our hand every time. We don't even choose our politicians. We "pick" from a group preselected by ultra rich donors.

Lol ok

i know two different people who started HRT this week. THIS WEEK! In the middle of ALL THIS BULLSHIT TARGETING US. they, like me, are fighting to stay alive. that isn't nihilism. That's hope.

Bonsoir mes chéris

Matt Walsh advocates for mass murdering people with schizophrenia by convicting them of who knows what and then killing them. This is political violence btw.

It's sad to think that the family that was detained by ICE at Millenium Park on Sunday went because their daughter wanted to visit the park. Should have been an easy choice but now immigrants in Chicago feel they should stay away from parks and refrain from shopping. Disappearing from public life.

🗣️ SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN 🗣️

Shut it down. Stop the fascists in their tracks and SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN.

The time to push back against clear bullshit is now + the way to do it is in clear, unequivocal language that doesn't mince words out of cowardice or *letting shitty tech bros convince you that your opinion on a subject is wrong*. The tech bro class is often blech. Express yourself accordingly 7/7

There aren't many Jodi Foster fans anymore, but if any Taylor Swift fans with a can-do attitude want to impress her, I can think of a couple of ways.

Guy: Give it to me straight, doc Dr: Well, you've been acquired by Jared Kushner Guy: Who gives a fuck lol I'm a fighter Dr: And Saudi Arabia Guy, sweating: I can beat it. I can beat it, doc! Dr: In a leveraged buyout Guy: *bursts into tears* NO GOD NO WHY ME GOD NOOOO

can we please have a moratorium on arguing about the effectiveness of voting for dems until we’ve all done our part and yelled at our representatives to not bend a knee on the trans healthcare ban? we can go right back to slugging it out after as a treat

My home is here in the forest and swamps. My blood and sweat smell of petrichor and rotting leaves. I don't want to abandon the foxes, possums, and raccoons that live around my home or give up the moss and lichen canopy above my head. I will not leave. I won't damn my home to fascist control.

Stock up on canned goods, y'all. Jim Cramer's out here praising the economy again.

the democrats need to let the government shut down happen. they cannot let donald trump pass the funding bill that ends federal funding to hospitals that give hormone replacement therapy

this is what i’m saying like even if we somehow prevail without a civil war and have legitimate elections we need to do better than “the rights of small minorities are entirely subject to the whim of the state”. at minimum we need a constitutional amendment for bodily autonomy

You can die due to anything in a US jail and nothing will happen.

The so-called “Gen Z” protests that broke out in Indonesia in August, overthrew the government of Nepal on September 9, and spread to Peru continue to resonate around the world. Today, protests toppled the government of Madagascar.

d'y'all ever think about how the Trump administration is trying to instigate a civil war by invading all these cities and brutalizing working people and stripping rights and destroying what remains of the social safety net because they REALLY don't want us to know what's in the Epstein files?

imagine if trans people didn't need to beg for their fucking lives constantly and instead we could just be funny and hot and go to sleep at night without worrying about what threat morning will bring

FBI's domestic terror watchlist expected to DOUBLE in size as a result of NSPM-7, the new presidential directive targeting "anti-Christian," "anti-capitalism" and "anti-American" speech: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

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

Y'all I found the wildest stuff in this video. The oldest evidence of trans stuff on Cyprus is from over 9000 years ago. We're not only older than every religion, we're thousands of years older than the very first centralized state in history. We existed before gov't. We will exist after it.

Only 19 House Democrats think Rubio should not kill innocent people in international waters

LLMs are an output-driven technology, but most jobs that AI is meant to replace require far more than just spitting out stuff. In reality, executive excitement over AI shows that they have little understanding of labor - they're Business Idiots. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Freedom is a lie in capitalist liberal systems. Democracy isn't real when corpos and the rich control everything. No one makes an actual choice because the need to survive forces our hand every time. We don't even choose our politicians. We "pick" from a group preselected by ultra rich donors.

Deutsche Bank put out a report on the US economy that boils down to AI is the only thing propping it up and when the bubble bursts it's taking everything with it which explains the desperation to put AI in everything. Corpos ran out of ways to make ever greater profits so capitalism is failing.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

One of the major effects of the so-called "trans tipping point" of the mid-2010s was that trans people shifted from being invisible (and thus frequently ignored, for better and for worse) to being hypervisible and a target of attacks, which we are currently seeing in full effect.

"We need a bipartisan solution" bitch bipartisan with fascists is collaboration, it's helping the fascists brutalize and kill people. You know who else liked to bipartisan with nazis? The fucking vichy and last I checked everyone still hates the motherfuckers.

The federal government seems to do nothing but wage war on citizens trying to survive so why are the Democrats trying to prevent a shutdown? DOGE gutted most of the good shit and all that's left is fascist controlled apparatus. Keeping it open is collaboration. Oh yeah, their paychecks. I forgot.

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

Yeah this was a pretty straightforward white supremacist rant.

when the trans medicare ban fell through during reconciliation earlier this year, i didnt see any reporting on that at all. i had to ask ppl on here if we had been removed from medicare or not. that's a problem! no one wants to follow up on any of these pieces when the worst case doesn't happen

Every fresh piece of news about patriarchy’s backlash against trans liberation affirms what the radical among us have always known: if the means for our care is in any other hands but our own it cannot be relied upon and indeed may be used against us.

Interesting that virtually every single property that is a linchpin for cultural expression is currently being auctioned off during a growing Liquidity Crisis. Meanwhile The USA is ostensibly downsizing the two party system into a singular Fascist Regime. Feels like it's all a plan or something...

imagine if trans people could get away with this

This is happening right now. We need cis allies to step the fuck up.

I don't wish long covid on Laura Loomer. I'm a praying man.

Tell us out loud which parts of the "hard left agenda" you disagree with Is it universal healthcare? Enshrining human rights of non-citizens? Better public transit? Safer schools? Cleaner air and water? Don't be shy

The government is run by a death cult that is trying to kill the planet for profit. The Golden Rule should be applied.

It's one thing to refuse to change your behavior to save the climate, its another thing entirely to actively damage the climate, the people making these calls are calling for the end of life

Bluesky leadership has been doing this thing where they frame all objections to their censorship as "Oh, you support posting SEX CRIMES??? GO MAKE YOUR OWN APP, PERVERT!!" Bluesky censored the literal Keystone Cops for violence. They flagged a Victorian trick film for violence. Sit the hell down.

i am gonna need someone who is actually in video games to also write about how EA pressuring Bioware into changing Mass Effect 3's ending back in 2012 due to "fan backlash" paved the way for GamerGate and current climate of mass harassment and toxic fanbase behavior

Maude has been awkwardly sitting on my ankle like this for about five minutes. She's such a weird little gremlin.

Heavily Democratic Nashville was gerrymandered to elect Republicans to Congress. So as Trump is at -15 nationally, we get GOP primary guys out-culting one another. One calls himself "the conservative warrior Trump needs." (Not Tennessee, or Nashville!) Another promises to serve Trump. Crazy shit.

There’d be something poetic about EA taking a leveraged buyout and getting their IP sold off and inevitably getting shut down, if only the tens of thousands of people it would meaningfully affect were not the exact same working class whose studios were acquired by EA and shut down and their IP lost

The internet: hot girls have IBS! Me: I'm glad I'm hot but I'm sick of my guts signaling I must run to the bathroom or I'll shit myself but if I run too hard I'll shit myself. I can't trust a fart, every sneeze's a gamble, and I must maintain total bathroom situational awareness. The internet:
