doesn’t feel great how like 80% of the many posts on here for the past year have been political but when the state does something genocidal to trans people like revoke our passports basically on the grounds we can’t be discriminated against in the eyes of the law it’s 99.9% trans ppl who mention it

i think we can justifiably slice this thinner. trans issues are of very low salience to the voters democrats need to win on their right flank, and of very high salience to the voters democrats need to win on their left flank

trans woman on s2 😌😌 if she doesn’t win i’m gonna suck on an exhaust pipe

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

they call it jury nullification and you’re hearing it more and more. people say you can’t, you can’t nullify, but juries say, stop us. it’s incredible really. can you believe it? jury nullification.

i’ve been saying AIs main utility to capitalists is to allow them to bring back all the racism sexism ableism transphobia and every other bigotry under the sun we’ve managed to mitigate in the last century and go “computer did it 🤷‍♀️” when called out for it

i propose having the 2028 election this evening

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

when one of my oomfies reskeets something that piques my interest and i click and it’s the last reply in a 200-skeet exchange

every group of queer friends has that one bottom who’s always prairie dogging their poops to get off 😅 #IYKYK

my gf recommended The Traitors for casual viewing and it’s rly fun :3 im a terrible liar so id make the worst traitor as soon as i got selected id cry and throw up and maybe poop a little

that’s 400 pounds per person lol i know their power to shorten our life expectancies is unfortunately very real but these are not serious people, these are On Cinema characters

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

People say I'm changing my gender because they're afraid to admit I'm changing my sex

i know this is rhetorical but the answer is to get intimate control over the lives of people who are literally required to be vulnerable around you

Catching An Infection While You’re Waiting For Treatment For Another Health Problem Probably Good For You, Say Hospitals

Probably has nothing to do with the fact that the main character idolizes toxic girl boss types like Madeline "Acceptable Loss" Albright and ends up saving her town by selling its poorest neighborhood to Google

few are aware lenin betrayed the anarchists in the russian revolution (despite the anarchist Black Army being instrumental in defeating the tsarist White Army) as soon as it became clear they were going to win, he issued orders for mass arrests and the purging of anarchist educational materials etc

the anthropomorphization of genAI is such loser shit. it’s creepy. you sound like lars from lars and the real girl

[guy inventing AI] what if we built a computer that couldn't do math at a 7th-grade level and it told you to kill yourself, also we rebased the entire economy on top of it

a fun fact about that is i had an international flight that evening and i had to somehow recover and make it to. i went into a cafe and ordered a giant coffee and fell asleep waiting for it and a nice british family with two small kids came up to me and asked me if i needed $ for a place to stay lol

every state is a police state but even as an anarchist this hasn’t been my experience of communist countries. i was hospitalized for 2 days backpacking vietnam, got great care and left without a bill despite not being a resident or citizen

this man’s been openly talking about blue states and cities as hostile territory to be invaded and occupied for the better part of a year and centrists are still like “don’t call it fascism”

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

After Houston removed an LGBTQ+ Pride crosswalk in Montrose, residents responded in color. “It’s something that people out there need,” artist Nicky Davis said. “They need to know that the community of Houston accepts everyone.” ✍🏻 Gwen Howerton bit.ly/43Nw7JX

lots of people making fun of this need to watch bar rescue. this is what we call “curb appeal”, and it’s essential to getting customers in the door

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

Hey this is cool! whyy.org/articles/ele...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

my takeaway from legislative victories yesterday is that Sarah McBride should resign in disgrace

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

This person took this when they called the race

TRANSITION 2025 YOU HEARD THE MAN GET YOUR E ORDERS IN GIRLIES

i feel more hopeful than i have maybe all year today but remember my friends do not get addicted to libbing out. it will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

let’s fucking go i need a new mattress so bad and have been very concerned about the impact of countries not shipping to the U.S. entirely on diy

TRANS RIGHTS WINS FIGHTS

i held my ground and said i was only coming to thanksgiving if my family took Metrix (PCR quality) covid tests and to their credit they said yes but they’re all upper middle class centrists and spending more than half an hour with them raises my blood pressure so much so now the eggs on my face lol

Wow. This place is run by losers.

Can't denounce racism when you yourself are Islamophobic. That's the bottom line re: both Gillibrand, Schumer and many other Democrats.

And materialism teaches us that we deal with institutions and structures as they ARE, not as we wish they were. So yes, I'm thrilled Mamdani won. I also know that in the long run, his win, by itself, changes nothing. But hope is powerful.

Mel is less than 200 days away from bottom surgery, after being stuck on a waitlist for over 1200 days Recently, North Carolina passed a law that banned her state health insurance from covering bottom surgery, something she needs to stay alive If you're able to donate I would greatly appreciate it

gavin newsom has converted to Islam

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

don’t let these decrepit fucks pretend zohran’s outspoken support for queer and especially trans new yorkers didn’t arguably deliver his margin of victory

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

this dumb motherfucker thinks he wasn’t on the ballot in a race between a pro-trans Muslim social democrat who promised to stand up to him and a sexual predator he endorsed who promised to work with him
