I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

BLUESKY: you can handle moderation yourselves! remember: we protect us! BLUESKY WHEN TRANS PEOPLE DO THAT: nope. nope nope nope.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

Every large-scale platform is run by techno-fascists, that's just reality. This is the only social media I'm on because the community of good people is strong and important but it's also vulnerable to the whims of those in charge, who aren't our friends. Best to keep that in mind.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

very heartening to see even many of the people driving by stopping to yell at them these guys are gassing themselves up online with stupid memes but in person they are the villains and everyone knows it

deleting *this* post is such incredible "put it in the paper that i'm not mad" energy—it doesn't even tag Jay. i'm so serious: deeply cooked website

Legendary Trans Activist Miss Major Has Been Hospitalized With Sepsis. Here’s How to Help

Sup Gen Z, Millennial here who got sold the lie and watched it blow up in 2008. This is a bunch of horseshit and your lack of "grindset" is not the issue. We're living through late stage capitalism and 5 evil bastards own all the wealth on the planet. You're doing as good as anyone could hope.

You mess with Quest64 Official? You mess with every gamer! You mess with one of us! You mess with all of us!

If you hide your gender identity to fit in, never feel like you've betrayed yourself🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It's proof that you have a beautiful and kind heart. Chiitan will continue to send out messages until the world becomes a place where you can live with confidence and be yourself.

Even if I don't talk about my experiences all the time, I am a Trans woman and I am proud to be who I am. We are at a time when it is hard to express ourselves as openly, but today I just feel like I need to say it. Trans Rights are Human Rights! I deserve to exist freely, and so do you!

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Absolutely heinous.

this is bad lol takaichi is a member of the nippon kaigi, supports the revision of article 9, and much like her idol, Margaret Thatcher, has extremely regressive views of women's rights, among other things.

bsky ceo's crashout shows they can not handle simple criticism, so keep doing it. bsky wants the marginalized people that built this site to shut up or leave, don't give them an easy way out

and scene

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

I'm serious email your representatives and link this article RIGHT NOW tell them this shit sucks and is going to put everyone's ID/data at risk to hackers online. the proof is right here US- www.congress.gov/members/find... EU- www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home CA- www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

Hey folks - now that the car situation is settled, we could really use some help with rent. We remain on the cusp of getting tossed out, and any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated, since we definitely can’t swing it. PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

I'm mad about a lot of things (ha! ha!) but the sheer number of journalists who wrote "There are no plans to implement Project 2025" under the grounds of "well, Trump says there aren't, so..." and still have jobs is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Ignore the fact that this is about a pro wrestling show. Everyone should let them know that airing ICE commercials is unacceptable AT ALL. Please take a moment to submit feedback to these networks and let them know that.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

She is one of our true elders and there are so few left. She deserves the best healthcare available, but this is America. Full story: www.advocate.com/news/stonewa...

"Transphobic" like "racist" was coined to describe a reality and a moral valence came along with that description and it turns out a lot of people love the reality - the behavior, the attitude, the structural harm- but will violently resist the idea that their lessers may morally evaluate them.

Get it before it's gone!

Man wouldn't it be cool if we could just refuse to work when shit got complicated like our government does. If every employee in a business or hell franchise just said "we will not be working until a deal of some kind is made and you literally can't do anything about it." Imagine.

Buckwild how our country is currently being run by people who genuinely just see a random brown person and get angry and scared.

The Portland the Federal Govt is describing is not the Portland I’m seeing every day. Work, family, and recreation take me all over the city all week and far from falling apart, it has felt really nice and calm all summer. 50 protesters doing the cha cha slide in front of ICE isn’t an emergency.

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

It is so deeply disappointing that the leadership team of Bluesky has continuously chosen to try and brush the Singal mess under the rug for months now. A man who has been identified as a bad actor and threat to trans lives in America by GLAAD and other leading trans organizations. And now this.

"we're going to fix social media!" "so are you going to ban bigots?" "DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT"

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3
