Growing my hair out, and i'm at the kind of awkward 90's lesbian look

Check in on the folks you care about. The world is on fire. Everything is sideways. And for folks who have something bolted to grab hold to it will hit differently than it will for folks whose lives already felt unbolted and unsupported. Survival in the face of oppression is itself revolutionary.

it rules that donald trump is ending free speech in america and elected democrats are still saying we should be nicer to the people who support tyranny and corruption

I feel like we're operating at a rate of a Watergate-and-a-half a week.

tomorrow!

The total right wing takeover of social media is complete. Good luck to us all.

Oh no DHS is upset that people are saying mean things about ICE. Im sure this won’t generate a Streisand Effect or anything. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

Democrats reminding you that there isn’t a functional distinction between bowing to fascists and being fascists.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

nobody is saying don’t attend mass protests. ppl are saying don’t put your name and contact details on to a list of dissidents. you don’t understand the danger if you think that’s foolish advice.

genuinely: it is your responsibility as a human being to mock charlie kirk's death

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

I really want to use bluesky more, but my mentions have been broken for weeks now, so I can't see anyone's interactions

DUBLIN REPORTBACK They went down all right, but they certainly didn't go down fighting very hard. #dublin, #antifa, #antifascist, #nopasaran, #neverletthemhavethestreets, #antifascism

Wild to me that rather than indicate they are addressing or even acknowledging their complicity in spreading outright misinfo or even just silently ignoring people calling them out they tagged this post as "Rude" and default hid it on my feed

Yeah, if you're in the media and someone insists that "they" were celebrating his murder and therefore "they" have to suffer some sort of retribution, you have an obligation to ask who "they" are and what, specifically, they did to celebrate this. You can't just let them throw that gas on the fire.

If they succeed in getting trans people killed they double their efforts, hoping it kills more.

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

The world's richest man is inciting mass violence based on the ramblings of a man who was exposed for running a BDSM and SA forced milking porn ring (possibly diverting money he had scammed from his fans through video game fundraising for a title he never made). Yes this is real life

they're going to keep setting fires until they find their Reichstag

💯

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

It’s important to understand the extent of the digital bloodlust on X. They’re scraping data from social media sites—including Bsky—to create a searchable database targeting people for perceived thoughtcrimes related to CK. It has 40k names so far, and they’re sharing it with the federal government.

Someone's death does not in fact change their life.

the shooter was just a cis dude but even if he was the most trans person to ever trans it wouldnt justify rounding up all the trans people for crimes they didnt commit, really wish people in positions of power would be saying this

The entire centrist establishment writing fan fiction about how Kirk's life was dedicated to building bridges while assiduously ignoring the movement-wide conservative effort to incite a pogrom against trans people.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

tfw you realize this is just, _so_ triggering bc it’s the exact same way your family acted any time you expressed any emotions. not emotional = correct, regardless of how fucked up you’re treating people any hint of emotion in response = incorrect, unreasonable, mock-worthy, punished

This is interesting, but like, these two realities of kirk are not nearly on even footing. Goebbels had 6 kids and apparently, I've learned on Bluesky this week, "made a great strudel." Its much more important to know their horrors than the times they did something nice.

Barely a mention in Canadian media as far as I've seen which is really frightening. The ex-leader of the conservative party put a target on a journalists back and now she's getting death threats. For correctly pointing out that she was worried the right were going to weaponize political violence

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

The discourse over Kirk’s career is really hammering home how little the media and so many Dems understand the concept of lying or bad faith arguments. An entire life dedicated to poisoning the well under the guise of ‘an exchange of ideas’ and nobody is capable of calling it out for what it was.

I called it

We just watched someone who replied "rest in piss" to this thread get banned almost instantly. Insane stuff going on. Thank you for somehow being literally worse than Elon Musk on this, @jay.bsky.team

‼️UPDATE: Fellow trans journalist maia arson crimew (@crimew.gay) has also been banned from Bluesky following a post saying "rest in fucking piss" with an image of the Nathan Grayson tweet at the top of this thread. maia told me it will try to appeal the unjust ban after a good nights sleep.

An easy way to gain clarity on political issues is to remember that Conservativism as an ideology is incapable of being sincere about anything but their hate. You can talk to individual Conservatives in isolation like people - but the movement as a whole is a rabid animal you can't compromise with.

Bluesky has banned Aftermath journalist Nathan Grayson for 24 hours for quote tweeting his own article with the words "rest in piss," which apparently is now against the rules here.

well yea they're scared shirtless by their own mortality. what happened wasn't supposed to happen to One Of Them. even the healthcare CEO they could shrug off because he wasn't Known. they're closing ranks in a class solidarity way.

he was a fucking podcaster

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

I’m so glad all the centrists and liberals are doing their best to tell the left to calm down and roll over. REMINDER: we have no idea who shot CK, or why and there’s a significant freak contingent of right wingers that made hating him half their personality.

My roommate just came out of her room crying. Her ex wife called. She (the ex) is going to try and take the kid away, zero visitation, because my roommate is trans. She brought up the “trans mass murder” hysteria/complete lies and then specifically brought up Charlie Kirk. Fuck the WSJ. Hard.
