here's something to think about: Starbucks actually ramped up it's worker abuse and union busting which they knew was in clear violation of federal labor law because they knew that when Trump got into office those laws would not be enforced and they would not have to any legal consequences.

people are so deeply resistant to the idea that lesbianism has always been a broad category that’s included a range of people. that the overly semantic definition terfs push is not actually real. this is why i’ll never shut up about lesbophobia lol. the way people just jump to assuming shit is wild

TIL that two women’s soccer players had a touching moment at the olympics and everyone was like “wow such great sportsmanship!” while the lesbians clocked it immediately only to make people mad that “not everything has to be gay” in like 2021. anyway those women are married now

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

When I tell you how I kept a secret copy of Sabrina behind a false wall in a cupboard...

It was also transphobia last time. The Nazis targeted trans and disabled people first. Fash hate a lot of people, but they are strategic enough to go after the people they think they can get away with first.

Hell yeah we are

The bit account for a 2007 video game has a point.

Gender is, IMO, how we relate to our sex. What we carry through, what we deny, what we ignore, what we change. In this way there is no natural gender. Everything is fair game.

The White House is openly saying they want to eliminate a minority group and people still want to say this is about sports.

The history books deliberately leave that part out

Naked bigotry is good, actually.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

I donated and so should you!

AT BEST Schumer is resting on his laurels. But his creds live in congress, where his record is shit.

Excellent, excellent thread. Saving this for later and always.

EXTREME suffragette energy coming off my delegate as she was typing, “I am DEHYDRATED, I am going to GET A UTI! But by god I HELD THE LINE”

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

We're all in this together. Shit like the Ouaquaga describes does nothing for our shared liberty. Signed, a transfeminist.

I've signalboosted a lot of friends looking for work, but I've not actually mentioned I'm looking, myself: *AI governance & risk (ISO 42001, EU AI Act, etc.) *privacy & data governance (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) *multi-standard ISMS *security & compliance leadership (SOC 2, FedRAMP) *cloud security, GCP

One last encouragement to support trans authors for Pride

just fyi to any doctors who do uterus transplants: if you take me as a patient i will sit there and listen to all of your weird little theories youve been dying to say aloud but feel like you’ll get in trouble for unless you can say you have a trans woman friend who agrees with you!

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

ITS SCHISM TIME www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Hey cis people: today is probably not the day for your take on trans lives, or the unjust laws that govern them. Even if it’s informed, even if you’re an ally. Today is the “shut up and listen” part of solidarity.

Trans girls also get threatened with this, wtf? More and more I feel that an important part of solidarity/organizing is resisting the impulse to subdivide horrible experiences. Intersectionality is important, but you can’t build a movement based on lay anthropology.

The patriarchal world is tearing itself to bits in order to cling to fictions it can no longer reasonably maintain.

"Sex is an immutable ..." Nope.

As I’m learning, a lot of people: A) don’t know anything about contemporary communists B) think that the USSR/cold-war eta communist nations were the only way to do it C) swallowed propaganda whole, and have no nuanced understanding of those nations, what they did well, what poorly, etc

The Republican playbook for most of my life has been “capture SCOTUS and every other branch will follow.” Any dem who believes in the power of elections to keep society peaceful and cohesive needs to reckon with reform.

I understand everyone breathing a sigh of relief about birthright citizenship this morning. And by all means, please do! I am too! (Even though 5-4 is a freaking joke.) But trans women don't get that relief. Because SCOTUS severely curtailed our rights today. Please don't forget that.

Hearing a lot of 'love' and 'support' for trans people today from cis people on this site, but not a lot of 'trans girls are girls, this is unjust.'

Once again: We do not need any other reason to oppose AI other than the fact that it is not worker-controlled. We should oppose any new technology that is not worker-controlled.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

This nationalism, this negotiation for a position within the Family, is cowardly. It is bankrupt. It is an enemy feminism. It will lead nowhere good for women, irrespective of the frail gestures at believing it's nice that women can get an education now.

Control millions to avoid regulating a few assholes.

I made a new t-shirt that I think has an important message about the future and also about friendship and i think maybe you will like it roryblank.bigcartel.com

I'll "vote blue no matter who" when this shit stops.

Who up in NYC and wants to come to a pride party? HMU.

BREAKING: UAW becomes largest Union to divest from Israel. UAW has long stood at the forefront of demanding justice, notably condemning Israel’s genocide on Gaza during the Biden administration. This is a huge step to force Israel to stop its apartheid & genocidal actions—all unions should follow.

Not sure if this war has made me more or less of a capitalist because it has lowered my opinion of the free market but also convinced me stock exchanges should be open 24/7/365 in the name of world peace.

FINALLY getting into Midnight Diner,* and HOT DAMN. *I think my attention span is getting better? Slow, slice-of-life dubbed shows are feeling easier. Live this for me.
