💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ I’m not safe in Idaho anymore. Anti-trans laws and declining health have pushed me to a breaking point; I need to leave ASAP. I’m trying to relocate somewhere safer, but I can’t do it alone.🥺 #Lgbtqcommunity #blm #art #blacksky 🌟 ko-fi.com/brandystipja...

Liberal responses to this, while well meaning, often make me sick. “Well just piss on the floor then!” “This is a distraction.” “What will their reaction be when a passing woman enters a mens bathroom, that will sure show them.” Like none of this makes it better. It’s not funny, it’s not a gotcha.

No. Trans people won’t start peeing on the floor. They’ll either get arrested or leave the state. It’s not a distraction. They really do hate us and want us gone and it’s the main event. The reaction will be assault or arrest. There. Now you know.

Basically the same people as go to no kings just did the biggest civil resistance campaign in more than a generation in Minneapolis, but sure, whatever

they think this will work because if someone did the *faggot* cough while hegseth was talking he'd get a forensic audiologist to identify the person so he could court martial him for treason

These bigots keep on telling me to Imagine Dragons You assholes! I have aphantasia! I can’t imagine shit!!!

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

i don't think lindsey graham makes the fact that he's like to see the whole earth glassed a secret. also, we get it, he's gay. we've all known that for decades, cutesy homophobia is still homophobia

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

Gavin Monks, 65 – who books his car in for regular services five years in advance and writes complaint letters to Pizza Express every time their menu changes – frequently laments that “everyone is diagnosing themselves these days”.

Frank Herbert's Dune

This is Fist of the North Star level.

I made a papercraft just for this

well i don't want to write about harry potter again so i'll just link this review of hogwarts legacy where i did my absolute best to try to demonstrate that there is no way you can seperate out jk rowling's political worldview from this text, it's impossible www.polygon.com/reviews/2360...

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

"separating the art from the artist" is an analytical tool. it arrests the impulse to try to read the artist's mind when you're interpreting their work. if you want an adage to keep in your pocket when you're making consumer choices, try "follow the money."

The thing that personally fills me with rage is that these ICE agents are loving this. Having chatted with a few agents who spend whole days waiting in courthouses hoping to kidnap someone, they are more than happy to while away their days on their phones while being paid by all of us.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

I hate that they're even called apps in Windows and macOS. They're programs. Grow the fuck up. Apps are chicken tenders.

Reminder that the Butlerian Jihad was not just “AI bad” but also “the people who built and own the machines meant to control and replace us must burn for humanity to survive.” Anyway some dune lore apropos of nothing

so many shitty institutions abandoning so many of us. keep a list, friends. remember all this shit.

ICE in airports means comic book conventions are gonna end up whiter as people of color decide not to travel and I think the industry needs to grapple with that.

John Fetterman says yarp instead of yes and it may be the only word he knows.

I think a lot about how people say the SCOTUS stuff won't be undone for generations and I have to say, there is a poverty of imagination at play there. We need everyone and ESPECIALLY Dem politicians to believe that we can and will fix this, by extraordinary means if necessary (and they will be)

Yep. Normalizing ICE presence ANYWHERE is bad. It's not what they do TODAY. It's what they can do at ANY TIME at a racist tyrant's whim once they're in position.

Resharing this request from a fellow fan: Please respectfully let Paramount know how you feel about the way they're handling this and other Trek series. The head of original series production is Jane Wiseman, at [email protected].

I’m sorry but if your basis for calling a Star Trek show “divisive” is that a bunch of angry weirdos pretending to speak for the entire fanbase were weirdly intense in their dislike week after week, then there isn’t a single Trek spinoff that isn’t “divisive.”

The No. 1 reason aviation is so safe is that there are at least two of absolutely everything, redundancies on the redundancies. No single human should have ever been expected to perform this perfectly, it isn’t possible and shouldn’t even be legal. We need hearings now.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

I hope that everyone is paying attention to what's happening where you are locally re: your public libraries because it's probably not good re: funding.

every single financial institution would benefit from hiring exactly one (1) progressive to walk around the office all day long going “are you fucking stupid?” to anyone within ear shot

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

When all the reckoning comes, it will be critical to subvert the “exceptionally evil man” fallacy. You can’t just lay the blame on a few people at the time, and turn away from the many acts of complicity and conspiracy, those who opportunistically seized the political climate.

Think it’s important to understand the things people clamor for or accept without protest which has lead to this. You couldn’t have data centers everywhere without people accepting environmental racism, ICE couldn’t operate the way it does without people accepting policing, etc

Spectacularly damaging administration. This could have the electoral impact of gas rationing in the 1970s. And we might end up with gas rationing on TOP of this. If you're a leftist who's ever thought of running for office, now is the time. Never a better chance of being elected in this country.

There’s a lot of very bad stuff happening right now but do want to register my alarm at how the entire political spectrum is infested with this shit now, from liberal praise of Tucker Carlson to whatever this is

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry

I’m sorry to do cringe mode on a sunday but dems should be branding this as obviously trump’s fault by saying Make America Wait Again

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

i could be off %wise here, but trump loyalists who are working multiple concurrent ethnic cleansing projects control ~60% of media & requiring anyone who wants to get online show federal id to access content seems like a bad idea. great time to yell at D/I senators cos rn they’re all* in. reps.fyi

"We should have empathy for the president." Once again, the cult's cabinet officers insist that we must adjust our norms to make room for the world's most special little boy

The Maxx is just so weird. The earliest case study for why image comics NEEDED to be created. It’s so odd and it compelled us because even when we didn’t quite get all of it, we knew that he was talking about something deeply personal and important

As Graham Platner’s #1 hater, wow would you look at that, someone running for senate in Maine that doesn’t have a Nazi tattoo. Haha woah that’s crazy
