Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

accurate. this is why it's useless to engage in the violence/nonviolence debate. fascists will always frame any effective resistance as violent regardless of what tactics it uses. all that matters is what works. based on history, usually it's collective non-cooperation.

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Fuck people pleasing. The revolution won't be won with niceness

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

At the risk of seeming gauche by quoting Andor, remember “The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle.”

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Are people going to finally understand who ALWAYS leads with violence re: protests?????? It's always the gatekeepers of the state.

One of the greatest slogans of the 2011-13 wave was a handheld sign in Tahrir Square (I believe) that read "Dont Afraid!" The grammatical incongruity of that turned it into a koan, a guiding principle for me and a few friends at the time. 'Afraid' becomes the verb, something you do or do not do.

How complicit with fascism can all these Democrats get, they are rushing to compete, I bet when the fuhrer finally dies they will talk about continuing his brave legacy. And, even if they don't talk about it, they will continue it, that's for sure.

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!" They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

they’re calling the most recent shooter in minnesota trans to ignore the fact that there has been an organized group of far-right suicidal school shooters and this person is very likely going to be linked to them as well

Well we're about to live through the absolute worst year of anti-trans hysteria any of us has ever seen, so hold onto your brothers, sibs, and sisters and keep things locked down.

Boundary pushing art is good, actually

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.

I think we don't actually have to be breaking trans women down into smaller and small microcategories I think we need to be using our common collective experience and power to bridge the divides of the settler colonial class society so we destroy it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Burn it, honey. Burn that flag!!🔥🔥🔥

So, there is a narrative shaping up that the trans medicaid ban was stopped just by lobbying from Gay Inc orgs and behind the scenes pressure from Dem pols (particularly Baldwin and McBride) This isn't just wrong, it's dangerously so. It covers up the actual tactics used in a damaging way. 🧵

Just as SOPHIE reminded us it's okay to cry, i would like to remind you it's okay to scream

The irony over the FBI investigating trans-friendly hospitals for "genital mutilation" is that pediatric genital mutilation takes place every day in American hospitals, but to intersex (DSD) _not_ trans kids. But Right thinks that's ok bec. it conforms to binary sex. That's the REAL crime.

Spectacular news - the Medicaid ban for transgender care is OUT as a result of the Byrd rule.

Let’s stop dooming. Let’s knock doors, make calls, and talk to neighbors. People discounted Zohran because he was young, Muslim, progressive, “unelectable”, and a socialist. He proved the world wrong. We can do it in Minneapolis. ❤️🙏🏽. 2/

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

tfw you start meditating and realize why David Lynch evangelized for it so heavily

posting this bc if I see one more doomer take im going to kill someone with hammers

I was imagining today what the world would be like if there were no borders at all. If hoarding wealth was so looked down upon that no one even thought of it. If those who were able took care of those who were not. If all the good things we imagine we want for ourselves, we made sure everyone had.

The reason liberals are convinced that ICE agents and cops are actually secretly J6 rioters is that they can't accept that their good liberal institutions are actually the gun the fascist state is using to execute them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

To quote Nina Simone, everything must change.

Hey everyone. I've heard this now from multiple people. Passport offices are refusing to comply with the court order to issue passports to trans folks and change gender markers.

"The peace-policing meant that some people were left irresponsibly vulnerable to the cops. Over the course of the whole evening the momentum swapped back and forth between the forces of order (whether wearing yellow or blue) and the forces of disorder."

🚨 TRANS FAMILY FACING IMMINENT HOMELESSNESS 🚨 I'm a trans woman and mother of two trans kids still looking for housing. We will be homeless after 7/31. CashApp & Venmo: AmberTrance

chatting with a venezuelan friend last night, he said this picture got posted in his group chat with other south americans with “oooh don’t spoil the plot of this one for the americanos lol”

might fuck around and achieve enlightenment later, idk

y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Skrmetti is hideously evil I'd say check in on your trans friends but like frankly we're past give your trans friends money we're all the way out at if you want to help us we need you to be organizing a workers council Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

i know a lot else is going on, but US folks PLEASE call your senators - they are actively set on trying to ban trans healthcare on Medicaid entirely which trans people like me who are on Medicaid actively depend on for life-saving healthcare

Using a tactic made popular by pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong, an anti-ICE protestor neutralizes a tear gas round using a traffic cone and water. #3janeTVOnX @iwriteok.bsky.social @jamesstout.bsky.social

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousandfold We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old… ICE represents tyranny and evil. Terrorizing immigrants is just phase one. Let everyone join the fight against them.

This picture is insane. ICE in Minneapolis. Masked Homeland Security, just standing around in tactical gear with zip tie cuffs in a bag on a sideride. Authoritarian Dystopic Americana, in front of a taqueria. "Make Tacos Not Walls"

ICE wants to spread fear. Instead, they're spreading resistance. Solidarity is our weapon.
