What did the Tea Party protests accomplish in the short term in 2009? There's a "Magic Funhouse Mirror" effect from widespread media coverage. Society morphs itself to comport to the vision the media mirror shows to them. If people feel like they're not alone, they tend to grow bolder

losing my shit at tom clancy's daughter immediately setting this to her banner after seeing it

If i had to be Nietzschean about it (vague and reductive but also alarmingly accurate if you waste your time thinking about it), I think that the problems with the Chorus / Taylor Lorenz thing are: [1/88]

This one's for my Saint Louis oomphies. There's going to be a march, followed by a die-in, tomorrow. I need you people out there! Show these fascist fucks what the deadly consequences of their actions looks like!

gonna tell my grandkids this was northern lion

Harvard has officially closed its office for LGBTQ life. They folded it into the office of culture and community. There are affinity support offices for veterans and religious students but not for LGBTQ students, students of color, or women. Absolute cowards. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Peak ratio has been reached.

I was given an ultimatum.

Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices." Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting. [A THREAD 🏳️‍⚧️🧵]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.

“Gandalf’s the crazy person who wants to start a war…Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it’s all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works.” - Peter Thiel

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order". And so it begins.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

Whenever I see a new person running for leadership of a political party I am just completely unable to support them until they make it clear that they aren't anti-trans. Failing to mention it when it's just such a big issue atm is a red flag imo. Even one sentence "I support LGBT rights" would do

Absolutely incredible: the Feds totally folded on Congestion Pricing, thanks to the MTA just...refusing to abide by their demands www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

The people who went with “Sarah McBride will actively collaborate with the destruction of transgender rights” turned out to be right. Incredible that this is our first representation in congress.

Am I Ugly?

The National Defense Authorization Act, which enacts the first federal anti-lgbtq law in decades and targets the trans kids of military servicemembers, just passed with 80 Democratic votes. Shameful. Will get the list of dems who voted for it shortly.

Thank you dearly, Congressman Smith. I’m deeply saddened 81 of your colleagues could not share that same empathy. But I’m glad you did.

"The handwritten manifesto found on the person of the man detained in Altoona criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to a senior law enforcement official."

heads up this is a fake account

idk if anyon'e watches the show Sex Education on netflix, but the last season was really sweet. Especially the storyline between Abbi and Eric both being religious and LGBT, and trying to feel accepted in their communities. I think it'll speak to a lot of religious queer people. :D

Taxing the rich more literally feeds starving children

Reposting this from Tumblr myself because otherwise people will be posting it tomorrow and other people will be asking if I said it.

the flip side to all this of course is that republican pundits have been saying dems doing anything about anything is the FINAL STRAW and they WONT TAKE IT ANYMORE for my entire lifetime

"they give discord mod energy" is forever the sickest and realist insult i will ever sling at someone

This is not how to deal with climate change.

Charlottetown is a cruise ship city. Cruise ships are floating environmental disasters and we continue to allow them to come here, forsaking our environment for profits. Amsterdam continues to be amazing and forward-thinking. #climateCrisis #pei @notjustbikes.com Video idea?
