Anyway, trans rights are human rights. And as always: anyone obsessing over genitals writ large is a pervert.

They don’t actually care about women’s sports. Ask any of them the last time they attended a women’s sports game where they weren’t related to someone on the team.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

CELES NO

A data-driven analysis of how the New York Times's treatment of transgender subjects shifted "from rights-based framing toward more skeptical, conflict-driven coverage" since 2014, centering trans-rights opponents over trans people themselves. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Pretty clear the charge that Musk has killed millions of children bothers him. I find this surprising and we should exploit it. The world deserves to know that he’s killed millions of children and he deserves to suffer for the rest of his disgusting life.

Nobody is making profits. It is going to burst and it is going to take all those data centers with it. Keep your skills. Practice your crafts. Hold on to your books. Stay sharp.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

Here's JK Rowling comparing trans people to nazis and then calling them fetishists.

Victor Wembanyama at the postgame press conference (dejected): This one's on me. I gotta get taller

I told y'all this a few months back, but seriously, get in on the ground floor of this. Be the one telling your friends. So many of your favorite creators are going to walk out of this movie screaming this:

That’s the New York I know. 🥹

Logged onto facebook for the first time in over a year and the first posts on my timeline were from a group for conservative trans women. Just…..the worst.

People who think gender affirming care like social transitioning or puberty blockers are being done TO children don't think children have or should have any agency over their lives. And that explains A LOT Gender affirming care isn't being done TO kids. It's being done FOR them if THEY want it

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

31% of Democrats polled said being transgender is "morally wrong". Five years ago it would have been a fraction of that. The propaganda is working, the silence from Democrats is deafening, & all of this is why every step backward can't go ignored for even a moment. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

To my Pride folks. You are loved. There ain't no other you. You are so fierce you got these wockaflockas shook and whatnot. Go on with yo' bad selves.

Nirvanna the Band the Show were ahead of their time trying to prepare the world for the genderless burger experience

Hang it in the Louvre.

Gonna be a generational burden to recreate the norm that scamming other people is bad when our positions of leadership are being filled by proud scammers and people who previously only succeeded in the field of social media engagement bait

For all the talk about Fetterman as supposedly the fault of "the left," I feel like the history's been rewritten a bit about the 2022 Democratic senate primary in Pennsylvania.

Happy Pride to all who celebrate love and acceptance. Much love to all you beautiful dolls out there just trying to get by being yourselves. And much love to those unafraid to love someone the hateful might deem wrong. Everyone else: fix your hearts or die. Fuck hate, choose love. Love wins.

amazing this is not a skit

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Congrats to Freedom250 for finally booking a new act.

He is an ugly fuck and I am glad she is standing by the comment. I don't want to hear a single thing from the pathetic "moderate" civility police. Shut up and sit down.

the far right is just doing the birthday boy defense at this point you just have to laugh

remember, it's "if you're transgender you have to live." not just "you have to survive." you have to live.

It's been a rough few weeks for all my trans homies out there, so I just want to say you are loved for who you are and fuck whatever those assholes want you to be. I hope the hate in their hearts eats them alive. But you, you deserve love.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

How is excluding a group of people because of a recognised protected characteristic giving them dignity and respect? Imagine writing about excluding people of colour, or disabled people. Please rethink this, because it is clearly wrong.

Once again, the bathroom bills are not about biology or women's safety, but about the dumbest, meanest, most hobbyless creeps in society wanting the power to determine other peoples' gender, based on whatever grounds are convenient in the moment.

the thing of "trans people just pushed too hard on the sports stuff" is so ahistorical that it makes me mad, when did you hear about trans sports before 2020 outside of the occasinoal human interest story on it

fundamentally unjust in their founding, always playing the victim, claiming underdog status despite their materially dominant position - sorry but they might be cooking with this one

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

Jose Altuve just took the worst swing I’ve seen from anyone this season. Wow.

Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

Happy anniversary to the greatest promo ever cut by any wrestler of any era. Forget hard times and the pipebomb. Steiner Math is the GOAT.
