If Harry Potter is more popular than trans people, that's an indictment of society, not trans people. "Give up this hobby that is literally bankrolling our extermination" isn't a big ask tbh.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

The medication stockpile bill is the bill I had pegged this year as the most important kind of bill to pass given federal threats, with a short time window to make it happen. Washington passed the same bill earlier this year. It's so shameful for Newsom to veto this bill.

"we have to use AI because it's not going away" is such a weak-ass justification. because like, no we don't. what are you talking about. do you rush out to try every incurable disease too

Happy international lesbian day!

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

NYT: "Let's be clear. It's one thing to ban murder. It's quite another to create a social norm against murder. It has ALWAYS been unconstitutional to pass criminal laws if one or more ppl in society ALSO wish that not violating that prohibition would become normal social behaviour."

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

very funny to me that the hollow knight community has seemingly decided the canon ending to the first game is the one that doesn't make any sense and renders 99% of it pointless.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

bada bing bada boom

liberals don't want to hear it but this, too, is genocide

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Maybe Ezra Klein should have asked Ben Shapiro about his friend and fellow Daily Wire podcaster, Matt Walsh, who is calling for the death of everyone on the left and LGBTQ people.

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

in america, simply living with someone who might possibly be trans is terrorism now. everyone sees what their going to try to do now right

I sure used my time this week responsibly.

Already seeing people excise the essential fact that trans existence was the inciting factor in the Texas A&M professor purge. Don't let them. Our lives are on the line and they want to make this solely about academic censorship.

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

Now that Bluesky has bookmarks, you can now bookmark that they used to call me The Drift King back in college. Share to change a life

Using a piece in The Atlantic to throw up a JD Vance-shaped bat signal in support of your little fasho buddy really tells you everything about reactionary centrism circa 2025

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace. There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

Sometimes I think. I think world-changing, profound thoughts, answers to life's greatest mysteries. The most recent of these is a well-known conundrum: Which Jojo villains could be defeated by vehicular manslaughter?

anyone who uses tragedy to attempt to take away trans health care is a genocidal maniac who wants to inflict pain on an entire community

Sending so much love to my trans siblings btw. Hope you’re thriving today

This is the burning of the Institut fur Sexualwissenschaft. Right here. This is the tipping point of genocide.

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

TIL the whole "brain doesn't develop until 25" thing is a myth. 25 is just *when the study stopped* And now it's being used to justify porn bans and HRT denial of care

Every time I'm told to suck it up and cheer for Newsom I will respond with this. FUCK. HIM.

super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language. it's probably nothing.

Libs rn: Barney the Dinosaur, it is your CIVIC DUTY to stop the Meteor from dropping by voting for the Purple Creature Eater guy! Sure, he happens to want to kill and eat all purple creatures, but it's not the meteor Barnie! Unfortunately you have no other option. Hm? Someone else? BASE SPLITTER!

"In case you forgot, I'm Vegeta, son of Vegeta, grandson of Vegeta. Welcome to the heavyweight bout, Cell. This is a two man race. You look tired already. It's just the second round."

UK folks you need to pound the f*cking doors of your parliament reps if this nasty thing gets to them. This MUST BE the line. It is the right to a public existence- INCLUDING for people who aren't trans. Imagine having to carry your birth certificate on you at all times to take a piss. Full fascism.

Labour is functionally the Democratic party of the UK. When you seen an American trans person getting mad at Democrats over trans issues, this is what we are trying to prevent. Labour officials consulted for American Democrats last election.

So Pritzker doesn’t defend trans kids in practice, just with words in front of national media.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

Trans people are now banned from UPenn, Harvard, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, intntnl track & field, the Olympics, chess, darts, most federal jobs, the US military & intelligence services, federal facilities, public bathrooms in most states, & many local sports. Seems bad! Let me know what I missed!

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

This sucks.

Had to take the filter off my faucet as part of the move, and so I guess as much as it kills me to say it, I’m getting rid of Brita, I’m getting rid of the B
