My dearest Gertrude, I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will. We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled. I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone Send my best to the children

Oh they’re just continuing to scramble to find a justification. Lying about Link’s alt text is a particular kind of evil I’ll say If this is the alleged post, you can check the alt text for yourself pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

I can't emphasize enough that generative AI is way more useful to reactionary voices than anyone else. They can make The Triumph of the Will like 100 times per day with virtually zero cost, just endless fake content convincing people that vague things they've heard anecdotes about are true.

What is it about being techbrained. Do you just see humans literally as lines of code like wtf. Bigotry & callous mockery of marginalized people & their concerns is what helped contribute to the Twitter exodus. I've seen even reddit mods show more maturity & professionalism than this, low bar I know

"yeah I hurled slurs at you and did a Hitler but why you so mad. You're supposed to be nice and let nazis do a nazi. I'm just a lil guy. There's so many of you and only one of me. I'm a smol bean, a lil guy, a lil nazi birthday boy 🥺"

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Wait did they seriously schedule the rapture on Rosh Hashanah

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Suppose you tried to solve math problems by rolling dice to get the answer Sometimes, the dice will give the correct answer. Other times, not. If you were to insist that the wrong answers were the *dice* malfunctioning, people would rightly mock the shit out of you.

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper. Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man. Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

Charlie Kirks literal last acts alive was to blame trans people for a crime that is overwhelmingly committed by white cis men and then immediately followed it up with a racist comment about gang violence. No I don't have sympathy.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Don’t bother having empathy for Charlie Kirk. He literally didn’t believe in the concept of empathy. In his own words: “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage."

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

Media outlets need to learn to NEVER use the police press release as an authoritative source.

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

It must rule being stupidly rich and richly stupid. You can help turn everything to shit because you wanted to play with the Torment Nexus and when things obv end up sucking more, you can just not take any responsibility because you know it's not likely you'll ever face any real consequences in life

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

☠️ "I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a b*tch a poison apple yet."

Live your life so that people don’t consider rumors of your death a form of edging.

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

Resent that the dems ever learned the words diversion and distraction. *repeating to a fucking wall*: it's not a distraction.

It's like with every president, americans' memory resets. Everything bad is new. The before times are not responsible for today. Evil ghouls will eventually get rehabilitated.

🧵 The numerous contradicting claims that Stovey (@/ stovey.thequeer.house) fabricated a story to manipulate people into giving her money are messy, reek of harassment, demonstrably untrue in some cases, and likely originate from the people who led to her hospitalization in the first place.

Good news to grace the timeline The only good thing he has ever done. May there be a hell.

It's honestly really telling that this is coming from people who are incurious, uninformed, uninterested in actually learning the facts, and who are motivated entirely by the same unthinking prejudice as conservatives. Despite being "against Trump", they regurgitate all his anti-trans propaganda.

It's amazing how little it takes for liberals to abandon civil rights. Conservatives poured money into making trans people a culture war fixation and transphobia still isn't actually an electoral winner, but liberals are ecstatic to "make a tough sacrifice" and mulch us to run right and lose again.

imagine shrieking at trans people that we have to sacrifice our own lives for the lesser evil and not understanding why we are so against it

it's very true that Nazis can be welcoming and accommodating TO INFLUENCERS who they want to help them spread their message. if Nazis are being nice to you it isn't a sign they are more "welcoming". it's a sign they find you useful.

would you need to wait until literally everyone died to realize what was happening?

Alongside this and the ableism of the "defense" basically being that because it's not abled people dying therefore it doesn't count, it also really shouldn't be a shocker that malnourishment from starvation literally *causes* many ailments, like rickets. It's the dumbest, most ghoulish "defense".

Is gender defined by biology and immutable? Then why enforce it? Is gender universal? Then why does it differ by cultures, places, and times? If gender is universal, biological, and immutable, what power do laws have over it? If laws do have power over it, then gender is whatever we make of it.

No big deal "It's just till we get in office ..." "It's just sports," "It's just restrooms." "It's just your pronouns." "It's just your name." "It's just your medications." "It's just your job." "It's just your kids." "It's just you."

The way you political illiterates frame issues as isolated bullet points in a vacuum is absurd and frustrating. You cannot oppose "fascism" and then demand everyone throw their weight behind pro-genocide, anti-civil rights, anti-bodily autonomy candidates. That is the building blocks of fascism!

And a lot of people don't even get that they agree with the fascism, because they think of fascism as something grand and spectacular, not mundane and pathetic. They can act appalled by the spectacle of the moment while not fundamentally disagreeing with any of the actual policy.

it's a question of saving net lives. because if we don't get some people fighting back who thinks Sherman was too soft, we're gonna wind up needing people who think Dresden got let off easy

trans womens status updates: "god i love women. i love being a woman." jk rowlings status updates: "womanhood is an ancient curse forced upon us, the most wretched of the species. nobody could possibly want this."

Every photo of Cuomo looks like he's caught in a fight or flight response after being called out for something he did.

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

i had moms complaining abt not wanting their daughters to share a dressing room w me for high school theatre productions bc i was a lesbian and they were worried id stare at and prey on their poor innocent daughters. i graduated hs in *2017*. transmisogyny and lesbophobia have the same enforcers

People forget that lesbians were the subject of locker room panics as recently as 2002: www.chicagotribune.com/2002/12/18/l... The gender-conservative project is one of declaring queer existence obscene, of hounding us out of public life because we are sexualized by bigots.

Anyone talking about the 90s like it was a feminist haven free of a manosphere has clearly forgotten about what the 90s was actually like or never bothered to study it

It is truly infuriating how quickly Liberals will happily embrace ghouls like Walsh. These guys all do the same tepid online tough-guy act, yet not a single one manages to apologize for what they've done or, you know, lift a finger to mend the harm. They all manage to make a profit off this, though.

the reason they oppose gender treatment for children is that they want children vulnerable, miserable, easy prey. this is also why they oppose giving them vaccines, educating them, and letting them have abortions. children are a natural underclass who they want to be able to harm at will

remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children

This EO is the culmination of bipartisan efforts at the state level (including blue states like CA) to persecute and criminalize people who are homeless by busting up their camps, impounding their vehicles, wrecking their homes, and chasing them deeper into danger

I don’t know who needs to hear this but we don’t need to consume the Greenland ice shelf to organize our email

Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge, or run for office. Or they just do it in public, wearing pants
