There was a term for what's been happening in the US for the past year: Gleichschaltung - Wikipedia share.google/oVBHyVy40cMN...

Now that I've taken a nearly two week break from blehsky I find myself dreading returning here. This shit is not good for ya'alls health. You know that right? Being away I've found myself focusing more on doing my part instead of being enraged all the time.

To my past abuser: You've spent the good chunks of your life hiding away in a fantasy world steering clear of reality because you were abused and lost your ability to cope like I have. You surround yourself with people willing to make you feel special while I don't need to. Have fun dying alone. ♥

You guys wanna see a dead body?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Primary every Senator who in one way or another did not do enough to sound the alarms and generally fell in line here. That means you, @jayapal.house.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov, if you don't scream public bloody murder and kill this bad deal. There's enough to campaign on should the ACA collapse.

Demand That Chuck Schumer Step Down As Minority Leader Sign the petition: c.org/c5PbGWk6hM (Change(dot)org will ask you to donate. You *do not* need to donate.)

Democrats are more afraid of doing a good job for ordinary people than they are of fascism and this has been true for a very long time.

genuinely my biggest worry for the immediate future (assuming the failure of this insipid fascist project) is that in our rush to restore the institutions that have been dismantled, we'll forget that they were already hollowed out husks in desperate need of reform. we can't just settle for the ACA.

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

If people aren't poor enough to gamify their poverty, MrBeast might actually have to develop some talent

Today in adventures in getting paperwork for gender reassignment surgery: Got told that I need to be evaluated for 1 1/2 to 6 months. Was asked why I wanted the surgery since I was dating women. Was yelled at. Then I was asked how i would continue my career if I went ahead with the surgery.

Establishment Dems: “We just had a sweeping win proving people want us to fight for them and that we can beat the fascists.” Also Establishment Dems: “Quick, back to capitulating!” What an utterly spineless and embarrassing political party.

Remember: People should not fear the government. The government should fear you, the people

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Mamdani speaks. "My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I say his name, as we turn the page that abandons the many in favor of the few."

Had to share this from twitter just because

Conservatives do fuck all to make the world better until they're dead.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

SPEAK UP FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR. conveniently printer paper sized. in case you want to spread the message or something

Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix demand OpenAI stop using their content to train AI

I heard on TikTok if you’re in America it looks like you can’t comment the trans flag emoji. Commenting 🏳️‍⚧️ turns into 🏳️⚧️ I tried it and unfortunately that is what happened. This may seem small but this is censorship. TRANS PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED. TRANS PEOPLE MATTER. You will not erase them.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

DON'T FORGET!

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Starving the masses doesn't tend to end well for anyone.

Remember, folks.

#SaveSpeech We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest. Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

Currently stuck in limbo with even getting put on a waitlist for gender reassignment surgery because unlike cis people I need 3 letters of recommendation from 2 doctors despite being on hormone replacement therapy for nearly 3 years. Getting discriminated against when seeking help is our norm.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out

there’s no problem with trans women in bathrooms

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I PROMISE.

The official White House account has been blocked by over 5,000 accounts since it was created less than two hours ago: clearsky.app/whitehouse-4...

As this country crumbles, Indigenous rights and sovereignty are going to come to the forefront, as well as States Rights. Be prepared to advocate for Native tribes and people. We are the front line and we hold the answers to lead a new way.

You need to watch this!!! It is a great criticism on the failures of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ third season and how these flaws appearing in these latest episodes are connected to the real-life policies of the country the series was made in, the US.

Not going to sugar coat it. I flip off anyone I see in a cybertruck. Hope you get mistaken for a dumpster by a raccoon, clown!

Also, i dont know who needs to know this but i guess i just learned about it a few months ago; You can use zelle for business payments if you cant use PP or PP alternatives and the payments are instant.
