anyway support trans wrestling

If you have a Cagematch account, I encourage AEW fans to protest bringing in known bigot and conspiracy theorist Ronda Rousey. Tony Khan is not on Bluesky. But he does care about AEW's Cagematch ratings. #AEW 🤼

Fuck AEW and fuck Tony Khan for this putting this transphobic piece of shit in the ring. #AEW 🤼

wrote about how Zionist efforts to link all Jews to the brutal policies of a violent ethnonationalist regime in Israel effectively functions as antisemitic propaganda, endangering Jewish people everywhere. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/zionist-in...

ALLIES: We're still calling for everyone to NOT BUY STARBUCKS and to delete the Starbucks app off your phone. No contract? No coffee! Sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge and get campaign updates as well as local calls to action: nocontractnocoffee.org

Together, we're demanding the pay, hours, staffing and protections baristas need to succeed - and it would only cost Starbucks less than one day’s sales. Starbucks, it’s time to land a union contract and move forward!

Moving your data to Blacksky has never been easier. Try out the NEW NEW move.blacksky.community tool It works on any device. If something fails mid-migration, future sessions should pick up where you left off.

I wrote about congressional Democrats’ incoherent, AIPAC-friendly, lawyerly messaging strategy around Iran that largely focuses on Trump’s supposed lack of “planning” and “consulting Congress,” while deemphasizing—or outright ignoring—clear demands to immediately end the war.

Hmm, I was off by a week.

I wrote about how the conservative Supreme Court and federal judiciary are constructing a dual state for trans people. A system that enables arbitrary and unchecked power to push trans people out of society. www.thedissident.news/the-normativ...

New: I spoke to Rev. Babs Miller, a lesbian pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, who has known James Talarico since he was "Jimmy." They told me about how Talarico's church formed his support for queer and trans people from a young age. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

The nyt has undertaken an activist campaign help the right wing drive us out of public life. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Years of genocide have made Israel more bloodthirsty and evil. And the USA's war in Iran is providing the backdrop for its bigotry-driven violence to spread.

I utterly adore Kyle Fletcher's pro wrestling gear that inspired this illustration, and think the illustration really captures how beautiful and proud and strong Fletcher is in this moment.

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex". www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

Or maybe you should take trans genocide seriously. Ben's a big boy and can handle criticism.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Based on the People's Assembly feedback we are sharing 3 proposals for Blacksky-Only Posts. The blog contains 3 possible options and a link to vote on what you feel is best! Let's make this decision together and get Blacksky-Only posts launched! blackskyweb.xyz/moderation-o...

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history "Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

This list is fucking insane. Mazie Hirono is one of the most progressive Democrats in the Senate and is still voting to confirm corrupt Trump appointees. This is why Schumer is still in power. This is why voters think the entire Democratic Party needs to be thrown out.

New horrors on the way for trans adults in the UK... (When they did a similar review for trans teens, they threw out 97% of all studies and then basically went "wow, there's not any research to demonstrate this if effective; guess we gotta ban it.") Now it looks like they're doing same for adults.

YouGov, which does surveys on a broad range of subjects including politics, just sent me an email they're going to begin conducting "AI-powered interviews". "If anything feels inappropriate, unsafe, or wrong, please report it inside the interview." Ghastly stuff.

Bluesky’s new CEO has no bearing on Blacksky lol. Migrate to Blacksky docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...

Today's the anniversary of my friend Frank's passing. A year hasn't made the loss any easier. Tomorrow is the birthday of my friend Zack, who passed away in January. I miss them so much. Nothing fixes never being able to tell your friends how much you love them ever again.

Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

use @move.blacksky.community or pds moover to migrate.

Hey guess what I’ve got a comic in this. :D

The burning oil refinery in Tehran tonight. This ancient city of 10 million people is being annihilated by the US and Israel. (🎥 BBC Verify)

My thought as the PPV nears, is that AEW has set a trap for itself. It's made the case for Hangman, Swerve, Kenny, and even Mox as more interesting/exciting options than MJF too well. Now we're going to get 6 months of MJF beating them, while they tell better stories, have better matches. #AEW 🤼

The United States is now practicing ethnic cleansing. This war crime is done with one purpose -- to deprive a people of water. Disgusting. Abhorrant. Our country wants to kill Iranians by thirst.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school. thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-ai...

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

The mods and devs on Bluesky are all MAGA bigots who hate their userbase. Protect yourself, migrate to Blacksky. It's run by people who care about people.

Proton indirectly gave the Trump FBI a protestor's personal info from their supposedly private and protected email. This should end Proton's entire fuckin' business.

Congress is taking up an alarming bill that would empower the government to decide what content is deemed dangerous to young people, encouraging censorship of content it doesn’t like. Tell your members to support free speech and vote no on censorship.

my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a...

Human judgement has been removed from American warfare and it’s leading to daily massacre on the defenseless.

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless. I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranian...

Kirkman, whose Skybound imprint is partnered with Amazon, edited out a joke in an Invincible facsimile release and replaced it with an Amazon Prime ad. 😬 #comicbooks #image #invincible i.redd.it/bxferoeli2ng...

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

Comic publisher @darkhorse.com just replaced its CEO and founder Mike Richardson with fucking Jay Komos, who previously founded crypto-gaming web3 failure Consortium9 and failed upward into Embracer Group where he oversaw the cancelation of its Lord of the Rings MMO. #comics
