“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

an off duty ICE agent murdered a Black man in Los Angelos on New Years Day

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

decades of "lol the french are cheese-eating surrender monkeys" seems funnier in a different way when you realise the french public will burn down the government if it even looks at them wrong while the american people are the most house-broken nation in existence

words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian

In 2005, Hugo Chavez explained how the US would use a bogus “narco” designation to justify toppling Venezuela. 20 yrs later, the US has accused his successor of running a drug cartel, parked a massive armada offshore, & has started another regime change war over so-called “narco-terrorism.”

Gets funnier every time time I watch it. 🤣

Did you read a book by a transfemme in a language other than English this year? Comment them on this post! The Foreign Language category for the TFR Awards only has two votes total and I need more crowdsourcing.

My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

Fuck yes. I need to make some music again.

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. It’s not a choice. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. You can be the healthiest person in the world & completely disabled in an instant. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

The court ruled that: She sent racist messages to colleagues. She lied in her evidence. She bullied her trans colleague. Trans women do not present any risk to other women in changing rooms to toilets. The headlines don't seem to mention those facts.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Two years on HRT today and I can definitely say that considering everything it’s been a big improvement to me. I don’t think I pass at all, but people are definitely unsure nowadays, and most importantly I feel more like myself. And bewbs are cool too.

Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them. We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication. If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life." northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

In Oct 2023, an FOI revealed an actual wait at my nearest clinic (Exeter) of 17yrs & 3mos, a fact that stunned everyone I told. In one year, that's grown to THIRTY-ONE YEARS. NOT bcos referral rates are ballooning, as the MSM claims, but bcos at last count, each clinician only did 1.6 new appts pcm

Feeling like absolute shit mentally. I really don’t know why I even try.

the problem with gender isn't that it exists, but that it's enforced

The TERF fascists attempted to remove trans people from public life. They failed. The EHRC trumped up Code of Practice they planned will be completely unworkable. Even if approved by Parliament it will never be enforceable in a democratic society. We resist! We persist! 🏳️‍⚧️

It's not like the evidence has been hidden: The SPLC exposed their strategy back in 2017 to use 'trans rights' as a wedge issue - not just to split LGB from T, but also to divide the women's movement (pitting TERFs against trans-inclusive women) www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

Starmer on Tuesday: "We must stand against racism" Starmer on Wednesday: "Human rights laws are stopping us sending people to face torture so we need to rethink them." Labour on Tuesday: "Labour is the party of working people" Labour on Wednesday: "If your boss mistreats you, tough shit"

my girlfriend, everyone (Sarkavonsy on tumblr)

I love chatting with trans women and helping them with things, but part of me wishes I knew someone who knew more and could help me with all the stuff I still have to work out. I feel like I’m expected to be strong and stoic all the time when I definitely don’t feel like it. 😐

Wes Streeting to gullible idiots: "I want to treat trans people with dignity and respect" Wes Streeting to transphobes: "I will segregate the evil transes for you"

a reminder that the “first they came for” poem was written by a nazi who did not include how he actively contributed to everyone before him in the poem getting disappeared, which describes pretty well the average person with power in our society.

@graemedowniemp.bsky.social After Streeting's crocodile tears over the state of trans healthcare, here he is talking to a transphobic audience saying he's looking to introduce trans segregation in the NHS. This is neither respectful or empathetic

Just a week ago he was positioning himself as a friend of trans people. Trans people said he was a liar. We said his words were meant for cis people. If you believed him, you're at best cabbage brained.
