The grim aspect of this retroactive outrage is that the fascists already won on this front. These people are getting mad about shows from the '10s and early '20s because there's vanishingly few now. They've already been purged. But fascism can never "win", it always looks backward for more enemies.

The people who want you to stop comparing them to Nazis are emptying entire buildings, putting whole families bound by their wrists in the street all night, and disappearing whomever they choose.

listen buddy it ain't called cisformers

I didn't see the tweet. I didn't hear the comment. I didn't watch the speech. Republicans have been feigning ignorance about their mad king for eight years now.

This also works for trans healthcare - if this is a money making conspiracy then why is the most effective ongoing treatment cheap generic hormones and treatments originally developed for cis people? (Screenshot as I don’t want to spoil a good joke post with a tangential point.)

So is Gavin Newsom going to sign those *five* trans rights bills passed by the state legislature that are sitting on his desk orrrrrr -

oblina was a baddie most of us could never

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Has anyone else noticed that many non-writers don't seem to have a sense that there is anything between "full time writer who writes for a living" and "total amateur who writes for funzies and never shares it with anyone" even though the middle makes up like...almost all writers?

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Some schools will be starved of resources. Other schools will be offered bribes. The end goal is the same. To make the universities an extension of the Trump administration. Shame on any of these institutions willing to take the bribes.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

this went incredibly badly btw lol! my larger son set off the fire alarm by attempting to go through an emergency exit which, to his credit, didn't used to be an emergency exit, and in the ensuing chaos, my other, smaller son decided it was Time to Disrobe

Be the Mothman you wish to see in the world

I think this interaction is important and yet I find it so inherently 2016 that a lot of journalists think Johnson isn't in fascist lockstep with Trump. You're not going to "get through" to him.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Exactly. I am absolutely unsympathetic to "red states get what they voted for" arguments, AND. The notion that blue states are obligated to feed money to the death machine because to do otherwise would defund red state services is ludicrous.

this is some really gross shit to say in this context

What a website

Once again, if for some reason you’re actually relying on Politico for news, you can achieve the exact same results by striking your forehead with a hammer a few dozen times.

Sapphic Never Been Kissed remake when

The de facto President is really tough. He said so! But listening to the fascist freak reminds me of what AOC said last night: "They are weaker than they look"

Either way that's a new person, I've never seen that person before

making this my banner photo

These are crimes against humanity. Thousands of them.

found the cursed document!

Historically, collaborators have always been safe from the fascists they enable, so this is really surprising

You mean, "Supreme Court weighs options for dismissing expertise in order to legalize torture against queer people"?

Fall in New England is the best season/place combo in the country. All that yankee candle shit is 100% real. We really were going on hayrides and drinking hot cider and having bonfires every day up there

If you asked me yesterday what one word the ceo of blue sky would use to once and for all plainly and unequivocally announce her hatred of trans people i would not have guessed correctly

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

it's important to remember a person in the fullness of who they were. jane goodall was also a scarf as outerwear style icon, and a babe

your honor, I believe it was Hoobastank who first said, “I’m not a perfect person”

TRUMP: I am going to send the military in to massacre American citizens SCHUMER: eh ah my constitients will get us out of this sticky sitchywation

Your daily reminder: fascism isn't just about the power-obsessed strongmen. Instead, it's about the millions who delight in the strongman's malice, control, and violence -- those who revel in his cruelty and desire ever more. That is the malignant heart of the far right.

i know you are all still in scrappy startup bright eyed crew of the uss enterprise delulu mindset but good lord you really ought to hire pr

A clear-as-day ploy to keep what they perceive to be the next generation of white nationalists as dumb & ignorant as possible.

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag. KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense. KOKO: jealousy professor

gulp

'We as a nation are not going to tolerate people who are trying to stop fascism' is definitely something
