No comment.

Hier nochmal für alle auch auf Englisch. Das offensichtlich manipulierte Video von Francesca Albanese war zusammengeschnitten. Dass Außenminister der Europäischen Union nicht in der Lage sind, plumpe Desinformation zu erkennen, ist der eigentliche Skandal. www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/...

These fucking ghouls out here layering hate onto tragedy for their own disgusting political purposes. The shooter's gender identity doesn't fucking matter. It only matters to sick fucks trying to exploit a mass tragedy to drive an agenda of hate that will kill more kids. Monsters, all of them.

Mia Mulder saves the internet/world (again).

Da sitzt ein Faschist im #Ersten , Vorsitzender einer gesichert rechtsextremen Partei. Februar 2026. Rosen auf den Weg gestreut. Kurt Tucholsky.

The right said trans athletes had an unfair advantage. The data tells a different story. Data reporter Melissa Lewis looked into the swim times of Meghan Cortez-Fields, one of the last openly transgender swimmers to compete as a woman in the NCAA. We spoke to Meghan for an episode of Reveal:

2.5 million Epstein documents are still unreleased with the DOJ saying no further prosecutions are likely to take place. That alongside the failure to redact the victims in this case is a complete and utter moral failure. Release all of them now.

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Please read this extremely thoughtful & careful post on Tim Walz, Anne Frank, & the US Holocaust Memorial Museum from Martin Shuster, philosopher, Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, former Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow, & scholar of genocide, the Holocaust, & authoritarianism:

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

I recognize that this might make us seem like less “objective” journalists, but we have a responsibility as Americans. I, also, don’t really give a shit anymore. And neither does my team. We're joining the general strike tomorrow. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-join...

The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they’re all like D+40

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Yeah for people not up to date on the back story, the conservative war on "Gender Ideology" actually started as a response to Gender Theory, and specifically the impact of Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble" at the United Nations summit for women in 1995.

In nächster Zeit wird eine der Widerstandsempfehlungen gegen Faschismus von @timothysnyder.bsky.social so zentral wie selten: Niemals, niemals vorauseilender Gehorsam!

Wanda Sykes forced Ricky Gervais to accept his award on behalf of god and the trans community because he wasn't present

Kommt gut und sicher durch die verschneiten Tage. Passt auf beim Autofahren und nutzt dringend das Kältetelefon wenn ihr irgendwo Menschen liegen seht. Lieber einmal zu oft als zu wenig anrufen. ❤️

Rich, powerful white cis straight man bravely doubles down on punching down to marginalised group

Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of Parker Molloy's newsletter The Present Age! She does great media criticism and I just read her last, excellent piece about Jack Smith's House Judiciary Committee deposition www.readtpa.com

Well, that's totally mortifying. Something about that pencil was bugging me, and I just realized I bumped it while adjusting layers and it was wildly uncentred.

i hope brigitte bardot got run over by a halal cart

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there. Puberty Blocker bans harm trans kids, no-one should pretend they don’t.

People keep criticizing Trump but I think that misses the bigger point: perhaps 1/3 of our countrymen turn out to be profoundly anti-Democratic and are are fine w/ a Christian-themed autocracy if it allows them to feel superior and revel in displays of cruelty & violence towards BiPOC ppl & queers.

19 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In bizarre British Med Jrnl intertiew, Hilary Cass suggests that 5 or less trans kids seen by NHS should get GAMT, compares its mild side effect to those of chemotherapy & radiation, and equates withholding GAMT from them with "helping" & "supporting" them.

ICYMI, I've been reliably informed that this makes for an excellent news break. Come learn about how amazing Joan of Arc, Giordano Bruno, and Jan Hus are. And why Galileo is a bit of a dick.

i'm sure someone beat me to it but

Please kill me

all i'm saying is that there were better options

I keep returning to Astra Taylor's construction (the title of her fantastic book) "Democracy may not exist, but we'll miss it when it's gone." It's really the perfect way of explaining liberalism's false but necessary promises

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy". The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Ein Mord wird in Liebe umgedeutet. Und dazu ein herzerwärmendes Weihnachtsbild. Hier werden männliche Gewaltexzesse normalisiert: Männer sind so. Man zeigt Liebe und dann stirbt halt jemand, dumm gelaufen. Diese verdammte Gewaltkultur tötet Frauen. Und, ganz wichtig: ist auch für Männer entsetzlich.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

Linus Torvalds being unfathomably based

On trans awareness week let me just say to the community that we cis folks are the problem need to do better spreading awareness to other cis people to stop being oppressive monsters

From last year, but evergreen, our package of essays from prominent trans people on why they're not giving up. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Wie schützen wir unsere #Freiheit? Täglich wird angegriffen, was für unsere Gesellschaft wichtig ist: Wissenschaft, Politik, Journalismus… #Desinformationen & hybride Angriffe destabilisieren. Mehr auf unserer Konferenz "Freiheit schützen": sohub.io/12v5 #freiheit2025 @afelia.bsky.social

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Sehr guter Thread!

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

I listened to the Tucker/Fuentes interview and I know I shouldn't be but I'm always surprised by how completely unoriginal this kind of stuff is. Just reheated David Duke bullshit, not a single new thought to be found
