and no, transgender rights are not a "distraction" THEY ARE THE FIGHT THEY ARE ALL THE FUCKING FIGHT

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

I once again reiterate that cis people do not understand that what is being called for is the torture of trans children en masse. They do not even conceptualize our suffering and cannot feel the same level of outrage. They will deny the possibility that a "natural puberty" can be horrific. They are

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

Trans rights are human rights and it's not negotiable, you fucks

They could have rescued the survivors

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Just when I think "there's an example of a decent man" he has to do a misogyny.

Did you know that the quokka, aka Australia's Apex Predator, can climb up to 2 metres in search of food? Did you also know that most humans are shorter than 2 metres in height? Don't have nightmares

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

It's horrifying that Trump will cozy up to the biggest terrorists in the world if they just give him money. This absolutely should not be allowed. Especially by a sitting president, for Christ's sake.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Incredibly attacked

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Statement from the Unitarian Universalist Association and 8 other denominations: “…our faiths call on us to proclaim that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people deserve respect, love, and equal rights.… our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.” www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

On a day when the Democratic senators have let us all down, who would've guessed the right-wing supreme Court would do something right?

Make sure they don't get re-elected.

Fetterman's office doesn't even let you leave voicemails anymore. What an absolute piece of shit senator.

Let's make sure that the Democrats who voted to end the shutdown lose THEIR health insurance after the next election.

Once again, Democrats try to gain support by being imitation Republicans. Primary these people.

I told my Senators that the message Senate Dems are sending is that if we vote for Democrats resoundingly in an election, they’ll promptly fold. Is this what they want us to take from this?

Doyle is eepy.

Trump spent the weekend partying with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago. Today he's proudly announcing he won't follow a court order to provide 42 million Americans food assistance. He doesn't care about you. You deserve better. If you need food resources visit: www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/pa...

For those of you who don’t know, the residents of Paterson are overwhelmingly Black and Latino. newjersey.news12.com/bomb-threats...

Is there anything he DOES know? About anything??

And a guy who got a Nazi tattoo when he was young and drunk who can't figure out how to make that fact serve an antifascist project is just too stupid to be of any use at all.

The GOP is full of cowards

Framing 30-year-old social media Twatzis as “kids” while trying 14-year-old black teenagers in court as “adults” is as fucking racist as it sounds.

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

A timely reminder.

Amazing. This is the leader we need.

I will never vote for this man. I'm just going to say that right now

Today, the Supreme Court is considering a case that could overturn Colorado's ban on conversion therapy.  I was proud to join an amicus brief against this case and cosponsor @reptedlieu.bsky.social’s bill that would ban this cruel practice nationwide.

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition. Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

Chocobo cavalry have arrived in Portland to fight for their city!

He can't. Hard stop.

Just because they're idiots doesn't mean we aren't all in danger.
