what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

I honestly never wanted to be so political. I just wanted to read books, play some games, and enjoy time with my family. But I just can't look away.

Happy New Year to all! Looking forward to a year of hard work and progress.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Bipartisan fascist takeover

It's wild seeing Blue MAGA liberals talk about how stupid Red MAGA conservatives are when they both buy into the same ideas about anticommunism, policing, immigration, US foreign policy, nationalism and neoliberalism.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

At this point, the democrats exist solely to co-opt, de-fang, and destroy progressive social movements. They are in on the fascism and the imperialism.

Citizens to Dems: Do something to fight back against Trump! Dems: No. You do it. Also we're shoving through a law that will help Trump target you if you fight back against him.

Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige. I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

Claiming not to 'believe' in identity politics, or 'homosexual lifestyles' or 'transgenderism' is like claiming not to believe in gravity. Your belief is irrelevant to the fact that those concepts and people exist.

The Democrats are the "good cop" to Republican's "bad cop". They are both still cops and they're looking for any way to screw you.

do the billionaires ruining every aspect of what it means to be alive and a human not know they’re going to hell to be tortured for all of eternity

Centrism is a vapid, hollow ideology, which is why so many liberals feel compelled to appropriate the language of socialism. The problem is that they use the words without retaining any of the meaning behind them, so they produce incoherent drivel that goes against the actual meaning of socialism.

Last couple of years have been yet more solid evidence that the most oppressed and most theoretically advanced must be in the lead of any political movement. Everyone else folds immediately.

just for anyone who lost track; The inch bigots were given a decade ago has turned into several miles and my friends are suffering for it.

Kinda difficult to be a fan of US college sports right now. With so many schools being awful in different ways. I like the Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team. But I'm not going to root for them after their school fell for the most basic transphobic trap. Sorry, Aaliyah Chavez.

Pokemon go shut the fuck up

The president of the USA sent a message to the President of Venezuela, demanding that he leave office immediately. Told him that if he hops on a flight and leaves Venezuela, then he and his family will be granted "safe passage." And the UN and "international community" are just letting it happen.

RIGHT-WING CHURCHES: we must exterminate the trannies RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS: we must exterminate the trannies RIGHT-WING MEDIA: we must exterminate the trannies RIGHT-WING MOGULS: we must exterminate the trannies THE CENTRE: to fail the essay "But Da Bible Said So" is viewpoint discrimination

Tell me again about how Charlie Kirk and TPUSA were doing politics “the right way”

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

This is exactly what we need to not do.

".. You are wrong if you think that the Communists are enamored of violence. They would be very pleased to drop violent methods if the ruling class agreed to give way to the working class. But the experience of history speaks against such an assumption. " - J.V. Stalin to H.G. Wells, 1934.

Marxist frameworks and the dialectical materialist method are the only scientific way to understand society, this is a fact. But now we are confronted on what to do about people who are uninterested in facts.

Transphobia is actually a perfect read on whether or not someone understands dialectical materialism; on whether or not they have read Marx and Engels at all. The metaphysical and/or vulgar materialist views must be combatted, but if they absolutely will not listen, you need to ice them out.

Society has become too accommodating to ideas that are utterly incorrect. The liberal idea of "agreeing to disagree" is what preserved fertile earth for this right wing brain rot to flourish. We should have been more ruthless in our criticism of everything that exists.

International media, you can do better than this. "Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

Dems farming the business cycle, capitalism's inherent tendency to crash for the sake of protecting profits and prices at workers' expense, to support one party of the duopoly over another, is a classic example of how the people who run capitalism will just lie right to your face

During the Korean War, the Korean People's Army and the Chinese People's Volunteers produced powerful propaganda leaflets aimed at Black American soldiers. They connected the imperialist war abroad to the racist violence at home in the US. Thread.🧵

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

if democrats ever went in half as hard against republicans as they do against demsoc primary candidates, we wouldn't have nazis in charge.

Correct me if I am wrong but executive orders are just the president ordering executive branch agencies to do a certain thing is it not? Meaning they aren't legally binding to anyone else but an employee of the executive.

Once again, it's clear that, "biological male" and "biological female" are anti-trans slurs and are only used to denigrate trans people.

Cancelling Disney to stop fascism reminds me of bringing my own bags to the grocery store to save the environment. I mean I’m on board but like… we all gonna need to stretch a bit more too I think.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Things that unite Democrats & Republicans: -austerity -war -genocide -increasing police budgets -covering for neo-nazis

I’m in Vienna right now. A city which went from being the intellectual and cultural capital of the world to a “provincial backwater” (to quote Brian Barry) in a couple of decades due to nationalism, anti-semitism and fascism which drove away the leading scholars and artists it didn’t murder.

They called you commies for milquetoast trash normie means test views like ‘affordable healthcare for some workers’ & they called us radical extremists for saying both you & they deserve universal healthcare & instead of seeing the jig you entertained their framing of *us* as the threat to freedom

I love constantly being on the recieving end of threats or actual violence, then watching everyone insist that im a violent threat just for existing

Unanimous senate vote to honor a guy who said Black women are subhuman & that gay people should be killed with rocks. Man. It’s almost a shame I won’t even get a chance to never support this party again.

i am begging and pleading for cis journalists to stop treating threats against the trans community as clickbait. send post

The majority of these American “Christians” are just bad people. They use religion to try and cover up that fact. They are usually bitter, nasty, cruel, mean and hypocritical. They use religion as performance and appearance. To APPEAR moral and righteous.
