Hi, trans people have been studying the movement since it emerged in 2016/7 and their success is down to a) a huge amounts of money from organised christofacsists b) the particularly incestuous nature of the UK media class and c) the "left" folding like a wet paper towel coz they too hate trannies.

My latest: I wrote about Trump's Golden Statue. And as a former Christian, let me hold y'all's hand when I say...the Trump figure is not the modern version of "golden calf". If you know your Bible, the statue represents something far worse. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

@bskyplays.bsky.social Let's play Zork.

I need to see people supporting Trans people right now. Repost this if you do. Trans Rights are Human Rights.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

You know what else is "political violence"? Every poor Black person sitting in a cage because they can't afford bail. Every trans person forced into a men's prison so they can be sexually assaulted. Every person who dies because they can't afford healthcare. Every child who goes to bed hungry.

I never thought about how important it is to articulate this until I read it. I used to be shy. Now I'm just quiet.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Just went outside and found someone left a bunch of subtle pop-culture references hidden around my garden??

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

hmm

But only one side is fighting. And that is why we are losing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

We at @americanprogress.bsky.social are gathering stories from disabled voters about voting accessibility (particularly looking for folks from IN, MO, MN, RI, TX, UT, & WY). Please complete this Google form if you're interested in sharing your story: #CripTheVote

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

everything is terrible so here's the Muppets channeling the Beastie Boys

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

A new ethics report shared with Democracy Docket, revealed that Republicans spent $2.9 million to stymie Missourians’ signature-gathering effort aimed at blocking the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander. But most notably, virtually all of that money went to a political firm with Trump ties.

it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan

What a stunning photo!

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder. And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly. Here’s why: 👇🧵

People need to stop saying, "That's un-American" when the government does something horrible. We have a long and well-documented history of doing horrible stuff

Just finished Stranger Things. I can't believe this whole time Vecna just wanted to talk to Max about her car's extended warranty.

the junk in my trunk is all just various mental illnesses and processing disorders

So we're definitely going to spam this site with every right wing bias piece of media we can find, right? www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Putin is slaughtering Ukrainians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Ukrainians Bibi is slaughtering Palestinians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Palestinians Trump is slaughtering random fishermen to prove to his supporters that they can slaughter Hispanics

To which I will reply “sorry, all of my donation money will now be going to my healthcare premiums”

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today. It's resegregation in real time.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

muppetized works of art: thread

seeing even more discourse yet again about "defund the police" and people yapping again about how it's a Bad Slogan and i think part of the problem here is people imagine themselves and their votes as The most important thing, the only thing, to think about. and it's not. this is about power.

idk which one is the emoji: thread

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

you cant really say much to how obvious the hypocrisy is everywhere without driving yourself mad, so you don't have to talk about it. just remember that you don't ever have to forgive them when the tide turns and they try to ask for it. they'll whine like they always do about unreasonable leftists

Everyone who thinks "if I was in power I could do it differently" on some level rejects the fundamental anarchist insight that there is no way to come to power in this system without being or becoming the kind of person who reproduces it

My advice for today: You do not need to give even a single second of your heart or mind or tongue to any aspect of the lives of evil men. It is sufficient repudiation of their evil to live well and free in spite of it.
