I've noticed a big uptick in the use of "women's safety" etc. as a rationale for racist anti-migrant politics. It transfers seamlessly from anti-trans rhetoric.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

Dr Horton and I show how trans children's UN Convention rights are ignored in terms of education, healthcare, social transition, conversion practices, and gender recognition. Most importantly, young people's groups such as Trans Kids Deserve Better are ignored in policy discussions entirely.

New research on trans children and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): With the UNCRC recently incorporated into Scottish law, @fiercemum.bsky.social and I teamed up to discuss the urgent actions needed to protect trans children's rights. brill.com/view/journal...

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

Tiktok is over. It's just like Twitter. Staying there is kidding yourself.

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

There's been two Irish "gay" orgs against trans rights. One of them is a friend group of 3 people. The other was a lesbian couple who failed to get "LGB Alliance Ireland" up and running. There is no "enormous pushback" against trans rights from the gay community. There are some cranks. That's it.

This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

You look at "gender critical" activist threads like this and you wonder when the realisation will hit that they are transphobes in a transphobic hate movement so OF COURSE their allies are fascists. It's the blindingly simple answer, and it always has been.

They call it "pulling a Vatican"

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

"Being here, in solidarity, is part of the repair work in my own soul," said Rev. Rob Schenck, an Evangelical minister who spent decades advancing Christian nationalist causes, as he marched against ICE in Minneapolis. "This is redemption."

Imagine insisting on kids first over politics.

this isn't as fun as some others BUT if you're sharing your comic for free, someone's gonna complain about something unimportant at some point, the schedule, the style, a color choice etc. and I NEED you to know that you can tell them to give you a million dollars to do it to their specifications

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

FBI director tells Americans not to bring guns to protests, schools still okay

Capitalism is so inefficient at distributing resources that when people bring snacks and gloves for each other on a cold day people assume it took millions of dollars

i'm afraid this might be a case where the creator of a piece of art is lost to time, but the oldest recorded version of the "come back" blackout poetry piece is dated 2013, from now deleted tumblr user lets-love-at-dusk-till-dawn so, credit where credit is due.

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Additional context: A former president who shaped the current deportation machine and signed IIRAIRA, and another former president who first employed Trump's White House Border Czar and emboldened ICE, deporting more than every president before him combined, are telling you to “stand up” to ICE.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

Actual female athletes say: Let transgender women play! 📸 Taken at Oxford's counterprotest against Let Women Speak 🗓️ 18th October 2025

Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, saying that she believes Noem is attempting to "mislead the American public” about the fatal shooting of a 37 year-old protester in Minneapolis.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

Tim Doyle a famous Marvel artist is making some of the most Metal Anti-ICE art right now! Ghost Rider, Wolverine and the Punisher taking ICE out!

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Exact same thing happened to me.

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

“Counting bullet holes…” 😡

Wow, like the heavens themselves said "No, fuck you. ⚡⚡⚡"

Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.

Bless Bolsonaro & his fans who in this world of horrors and no consequences give us weekly headlines about the worst people in Brazil giving themselves real Tom & Jerry ailments

In light of the ICE agent apparently comparing their activities to Call of Duty, this is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPM...

I've seen a few who are truly deluded doing "I can't believe so many of my allies are so onside with shooting people in the street" tweets, but not making the obvious logical next step to question what sort of a movement would do that. They *still* think they are right about trans people.

But, of course, what they truly believed is that they should be able to endanger a minority while never experiencing even a moment of danger themselves. And even the slightest infraction in their comfort is amplified insanely to make themselves seem like victims.

Almost every prominent 'gender critical' is justifying the execution of people in the street, saying they 'provoked' ICE. For years, they categorised trans protests of their meetings (like making noise and banging on windows) as the worst crimes imaginable. These people are moral vacuums.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

If you’re looking for something to cheer you up, the male supremacist streamer Clavicular apparently got his ass kicked while trying Brazilian jiu jitsu last month. This is the same guy who was partying with Nick Fuentes and the Tates. youtu.be/CReYBiJzyF8?...

"Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it."

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.
