So glad we have an entire day to ridicule these assholes by “celebrating” them with discount mattress sales.

Conservatives view everything through the lens of authority. For instance, they think therapists are just authority figures you can inflict on people you dislike to tell them that they’re wrong about themselves and how to live their lives correctly.

The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues; 1. That younger people must wait to know they are sure 2. That older people have waited too long to transition and be socially accepted. The end game is the elimination of trans people.

The argument "We have decided to define sex as those aspects of sex that medical intervention cannot yet change" just isn't that compelling to me. Caring an awful lot about the definitions of words is similar.

I was repeatedly told that trans people were "medicalizing gender nonconforming behavior." Meanwhile, the UK has basically said you need to involve a doctor if a child's clothing, name, or haircut doesn't align with their gender.

The UK is run by monsters

Enforcing borders is definitionally fascist because there’s no justification for it outside of racism, xenophobia, and mythical nationalism. End global apartheid.

It's not over until we finish the job. Put a stake through the fetid heart of this monster. Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. They started it with Minnesota, let's be the ones to end it.

This type of legal construction is designed to drive out anyone or anything that so much as tangentially touches transgender healthcare. We are being eradicated, as conservatives promised. Allies MUST stand up and help stop them. We cannot dam this flood on our own.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

It’s been 11 years and Tennesseans are still big mad about gay people being married. So they passed a bill today that’s designed to dynamite Obergefell.

Damn that’s crazy. On a completely unrelated note www.wikihow.com/Discord-Alte...

Bovino sent this email at 3:11 p.m. on Oct. 4. This is what the scene looked like at 2:48 p.m. when the first group of feds made their exit. They gassed people again at 3:27 p.m. So during this attack, Bovino congratulated his guy who kicked everything off by shooting a woman five times.

The cruelty never ends

The people of Nashville consider two fully clothed men briefly dancing with each other to be a form of sodomy. That’s why they send Andy Ogles to represent their draconian, mind-warping views in congress. www.advocate.com/politics/bad...

You thought they’d only take away medicine from trans people, didn’t you? Don’t want to turn defending our medicine into a “litmus test,” right? Guess what! What you call a political litmus test is actually a policy stress test. And America collectively failed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

These are concentration camps

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

I can’t convey the rage of learning that the anti-trans propaganda campaign that turned family and decades-old friends against me for being a “groomer” was engineered by a network of literal child-f***ers

The bioconservatives want us all to live short painful lives defined by religion, toil, our genes, and serving our "betters" as they get to exploit the Earth and the stars themselves. I wish more people were aware of bioconservativism and how all the global right's policies wrap neatly into it.

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

Absolutely terrifying that a kindergarten teacher saw some brown parents and went digging through the kid's files to see where they were born. What the fuck is wrong with her? I hope the video maker publishes, at the very least, her place of work so that parents can protect themselves.

There was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

Cis people don’t just want to kick us out of “THEIR” gender restroom. They want to FORCE us to use the opposite gender restroom to shame us and create an easy way to identify (and then threaten) us in public. Side note - why did WashU ever hire this heinous bigot?

A common, dismissive refrain is “hOw WiLL tHeY eVeN eNfOrCe ThEse LaWs??” This is how. Yeah, at a random rest stop, you’re probably fine. It’s where you work or study, where there is administrative knowledge about you, that you’re screwed. Which is exactly where they want to hurt us the most.

When anarchism isn't being villified as evil it's being dismissed with an eyeroll by people who think they know better. But in Minneapolis, we're seeing the power of this maligned philosophy. Today on Assigned: The argument for anarchism, by Emma Arcadia. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Amnesty International mapped the finances of 65 anti-rights groups operating across the UK. The largest spenders are UK branches of US organisations (£34 million), ultra-conservative Christian policy/advocacy groups (£31.5 million), and anti-abortion organisations (£28.5 million).

This is it. Literally all of American politics has been summarized in a single skeet. Political scientists can all go home now.

Honestly I'm more scathing on this. To the kinds of abusers who support these movements, the fact that they are lead by people who are known to have committed abuse is a feature. They enjoy the impunity of it. It's the same reason Epstein got more popular after his conviction, not less.

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization. This is no different. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryaniz...
