I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

TW. Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred.

The ‘politics of eternity’, says Timothy Snyder, is nostalgia for a mythical past. Putin blames the West, Trump blames migrants, Reform UK blames both. Truth doesn’t matter, only enemies. A thought-provoking read by Marc Ainge ⤵️

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

JD Vance is suggesting that neo-Nazis and the descendents of confederate soldiers have more claim to being part of this nation because they're white than immigrants who believe in the Declaration of Independence. This kind of blood and soil nationalism is indistinguishable from classic fascism.

Contributor: Why 'monstrify'? Look at who benefits when few are considered fully human
The category of 'human' is shrinking as politicians, tech bros and right-wing pundits divide the world into two groups: You're a cis-het white man, or you're a monster.

It really says something that Minnesota still showed out like this even with their lives under threat, with a politically motivated killer who reportedly had materials relates to this event in his vehicle. Incredible state and incredible people.

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process
