I got called paranoid and hyperbolic when I said this would happen because one of the long-term goals is to push cis girls out of sports and it would happen because ppl only see the transphobia so they get in board, but they don't realize how they're hurting cis girls too.

Trump: Jimmy Kimmel is next Trump admin: We will definitely exploit this murder to censor our critics Carr: ABC must fire Jimmy Kimmel ABC, minutes later: We have suspended Jimmy Kimmel Anti-cancel culture crusader: I sure wish this clear business decision didn’t look so much like censorship!

US politics in a nutshell

the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing

This is so valid! Credit : Joel Wood

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

CW: EXTREME ANTI-TRANS SLURS AND BIGOTRY I'm not going to share this regularly as it won't be helpful to do so and will just be harmful - but I want to share it at least once to just show you the amount of hateful rhetoric a trans person receives.

Just saw "Je suis Charlie Kirk" in the wild. 💀 This is up there with "punisher with the thin blue line" levels of humanity illiterate.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

So we've gone from the shooter was trans to the shooter's bullets were trans to the shooter's roommate was trans to the shooter listened to a musical artist that sometimes mentions trans people

Its funny how Black people will talk about something racist that happened in broad daylight and a bunch of white people (who insist theyre different) will rush to try to accuse us of lying.

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+

I just got kicked off of Medicaid and I still don't even have income yet. The safety net is completely gone and not just precarious.

You probably failed at "building bridges" if millions of people think that your life's work was destructive and terrible and if your supporters have to threaten people to keep them quiet about said legacy.

charlie kirk was a bigoted sack of shit and he thought random gun deaths were an acceptable consequence of having the second amendment, i wonder if he revised that opinion in the brief time between getting shot and dying. didn't think your number would come up, didya charlie

Why can people be fired for repeating the things Charlie kirk said in regards to his own views? But Charlie kirk himself cant be condemned for saying it in the first place. Whys is not considered rephensible when it comes from his mouth?

You have gone out of your way to protect the accounts of multiple people on this website who have dedicated their lives to inflicting violence on countless people.

I’m afraid I ran out of high road when they started posting pics of themselves with Skittles and Arizona tea after Trayvon was murdered

They undeniably did this in plain fucking daylight.

Goes without saying, but when (not if) the Federalist knocks me off this site I guarantee you’ll be able to read all about it on eruditorumpress.com.

I had a hunch that the assassin was, in fact, a right-winger.

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered. And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

the automod is just flagging everything mentioning ck's name now i guess lol posted a joke about how Eurovision doesn't belong with the other trending topics and it got deleted before it even posted no alt text for obvious reasons, fuck off nanny bot

Daily reminder that anyone who supports Charlie Kirk is supporting a man who openly called for the murder of all LGBTQ people.

Please retweet this post so that the social-media illiterate doofus I'm subtweeting can find it

We didn't fucking learn

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

We do not have any liberal or progressive media in America. All large media outlets in America are fascists or fascist collaborators.

To the right, the outrage that Charlie Kirk was the victim of violence is much more important than how he was a knowing part of a machine of manipulating people into policies and attitudes that killed so many more than just one person.

yesterday "here is proof that the president is a sex criminal" felt pretty bad. today "almost all of the news media is assisting in covering up the fact that the president is a sex criminal" feels much worse

And here I was getting annoyed at Starset for making a music video out of ai and they were doing it to make a point about how ai sucks.

In her 1990 divorce deposition, Trump’s first wife, the late Ivana Trump, accused Trump of having assaulted her, including pulling out handfuls of her hair, pushing her to the floor, and raping her.

I'm not very fond of the "Monkey See, Monkey Do" theory of media and its impacts on human choices. Fiction can be part of propaganda or reinforce assumptions but also, I'm pretty sure no amount of porn games could possibly turn me into a dinosaur nor impose mind control on me.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

I'm kinda envious of people who think laws will stop fascists. Like, sometimes I wish I could go back to being that simple-minded and naive to reality.

Sidenote; it should not be a surprise that — AS USUAL — these things can be traced back to Ronald Reagan, the progenitor of EVERYTHING we are living through today and someone whom Republicans basically worship.

The terfs are trying to reclaim "Nazi" because people keep pointing out that their hate movement aligns very conveniently with the fascist movements of today.

If you’re trans or cis & unfamiliar w/ “The Mulford Act” then you should do some reading as to why it was created This is the exact same tactic governmental bigots used against Black ppl (specifically the Panthers) when they tried to organize. Only now it’s preemptive Same shit, different targets.

"I have no idea why we sell out of fleets every time the furry convention is in town."

autism moms and transphobic parents are basically the same phenomenon. They want to believe that the kid being different, not what they expected is due to an external damage, that hurt their child. Their property. Because they do see kids as property.

Remember that the political right is very insistent that people have access to guns in order to resist oppressive governments. I think the government is oppressing lots of people. Of note, particularly recently, trans people.

Insurance companies delaying treatment also saves them money in the hopes that someone dies before they have to pay for that treatment. That's why certain treatments are a hassle but other things...which when delayed will cost them more, sail through quite quickly Also why Luigi saved lives.

It is homophobic historical revisionism to pretend that our abusers had any rational basis to their hatred, or that they carefully carved out exceptions to their hatred in ways that respected other disrespected identities.
