Hi, I'm Julie! After losing my job I moved from North Carolina to be safe in Oregon because I am trans. I am raising money to finish the move. Please share and donate if you can gofund.me/60b1e917 #helpsky #fundsky #MutualAid #MutualAidrequest

a thing that's striking about the aftermath of the callais decision is that it (1) completely disproves roberts's "i don't see race" view and (2) a lot of the south just has not evolved at all from 60 years ago politically, which is horrifying

i think a lot of cis people don’t consider that forcibly detransitioning every trans person would still be a genocide and that’s why they don’t take it seriously which is weird because they act like you died when you tell them you’re transitioning

that's my fucking New Reconstruction President

the trump administration assertion that it is “unlawful” for private organizations to pursue diversity is nonsense. what this is, once again, is an effort to roll back desegregation that the ABA has surrendered to.

Hogfther and about 30 other discworld book I read one summer month in college

I'll give you two: 1) Eldest, the second Eragon book. As a child who loved the first one, it made me realize "oh wait books can be bad" 2) Guards! Guards!, it was the first book I read that blended humor and genuine pathos so well AND played with the medium and format via footnotes and the like

PLEASE HELP YOUR TRANS SISTER.

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

James Talarico: “Theocracy is the most dangerous form of government — the only thing worse than a tyrant - is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God. Our faith in Jesus should lead us away from theocracy, tyranny, Christian nationalism & toward a multi-racial, multi-cultural democracy”

After the white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court trampled the voting Rights Act of 1965, 61 years after marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, American Patriots are once again marching across the bridge in protest of racist Republican governors suppressing Black representation.

Lottie is in a bad situation.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

“Congress judges the republican character of each state every time it seats that state's elected representatives. This also implies that Congress can refuse to seat a state's representatives, if it thinks that state's government is not republican.” www.liberalcurrents.com/how-the-120t...

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Hi. 😊 Black American here. Norway is an almost entirely white country. The United States is racist as fuck. That's why we don't have a social democracy or, like, healthcare. Follow for more glimpses into a racist society where white people* would rather die than see a Black person succeed.

Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

NEW She was deported without her toddler. Then ICE blamed her for his killing. wapo.st/4wyzH7u

not only can they not believe someone could be this stupid, they cannot believe they themselves would have been stupid enough to vote for someone this stupid, so there must be some kind of twelve dimensional chess going on with respect to the emperor and his clothes

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

The funniest thing about the “fertility debate” is that it has an easy answer as far as America is concerned (let in more immigrants) but people are like that is neither racist nor misogynist enough

It is, in fact, necessary. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

Hey, can we chip in towards Julie’s move? She’s close but we can get her all the way if we coordinate. 💚

The same week top officials denied ICE/CBP was mistakenly arresting citizens, immigration agents were filmed doing that very thing. Twice. One Alabama man was detained for the 3rd time in a year, even though he's actively suing for his last arrest I spoke to him for my latest @propublica.org story

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

If I get murdered by a transphobe - and to be clear, given the number of death threats I get, that's unfortunately not out of the realm of possibility - I want you to use the fuck out of my death. Make every conversation about Black trans women. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. ONE.

There's no reason for dual share classes to exist for publicly traded companies. Need to be banned. Awful from both a capitalist and socialist perspective. The CA wealth tax using control is a nice bonus, but need far more than that.

this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

He doesn't book his own travel so either Bari fired everyone competent or the competent people have stuck around and are leaning into malicious compliance - you only do what you're asked when you're asked and don't bother anticipating problems.

you've got to respect this. jim crow's on its way back and black democrats have decided to trust their colleagues enough that they're going to fucking take one for the team once again. we gotta make it worth it.

Morgie is a very good friend of mine who I love dearly, if me vouching helps. She is NOT being selfish to ask for help, she literally had a goddamn stroke and could use any financial assistance folks can throw her way while she stabilizes. Please share this far and wide, friends 💕

You: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: Are you aware that the SAT and ACT deliberately remove questions that African American students answer correctly more often than white students?

even *suggesting* this is an impeachable offense

this is somehow *even more corrupt* than him suing for the money, even though it’s a smaller amount, this is a taxpayer-funded bribes fund over which he wants sole control and no oversight

Lots of people have warned that the US right-wing is trying every tool at their disposal to restrict bodily autonomy, including bringing back the Comstock Act. Well here is exactly such an attempt, from the SCOTUS bench. And please remember/realise that shit like KOSA is just Comstock in digital.

If you're posting about objectively evil and stupid podcasts right now maybe post about my not objectively evil and stupid podcast

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

by these metrics Wonder Woman would be “male socialised” despite being raised by Amazons and not meeting a man till she was like 3000 years old

Trump plans to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to pay off the terrorists he already freed from prison. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

Conservatives hate universities because they are broke outside the club, liberals think it’s gauche to brag, and foreigners self soothe by making “100 top universities for elite reproduction” lists that ignore the fact that, like, ETH Zurich and Oxford have a lower R&D budget than UW-Madison

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

A terrifying but also heartening story. "The experience, she said, revealed a level of community solidarity she had never anticipated. 'One of my biggest takeaways from all this is the ways in which the community really showed up for me,' [Mel Curth] said."

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

every dollar. every time you think “shit, that’s more expensive than i expected”? trump and the republicans. every time your tank costs half your rent or mortgage to fill? trump and the republicans. literally *all* of this is their fault.
