If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

if you're being pedantic about the definition of pedophilia I'm assuming you are a pedophile

Cloudy with a chance of tear gas.

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

Justice for Ava.

you should go out of your way to use your trans friends' names when you talk to them they chose their names and they feel it in their chests when they hear or see it we waited our whole lives to hear our real names and it doesn't get old

In this paragraph, we have a heartbreakingly bleak portrait of American society as it actually exists.

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

once again I'm begging and pleading with someone in the press to draw this obvious connection between trump/epstein and trump's precision defunding of programs that assist women who are the victims of domestic and sexual abuse

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.

The media attacked trans folks calling them groomers and pedophiles. The Democrats attacked Mamdani. Both groups cooperated, collaborated with and/or capitulated to the Republicans as they struggled to bring about a new authoritarian white nationalist cryptochristian fascist state. Everyone's guilty

If the Democrats were a real party, they would be full court pressing this, ousting everyone associated with Epstein and bringing the whole Republican party crashing down. But they're gonna do the same old Democrat shit. We need a progressive movement. I hope one is starting to build.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Turns out the real threat to women and children were the Republicans in charge. They scapegoated trans people to deflect from their own sex crimes against women and children.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

So is Harvard going to launch an investigation into Larry Summers, his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the use of university resources to support him?

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

being a survivor in a society that not only punishes us but rewards our rapists with fame fortune and access to the highest halls of power is healing on hard mode

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

1. Going to the Library in Smyrna or Murfreesboro, TN? You might be greeted by an EMERGENCY CLOSURE sign. Apparently they have detected the presence of "transgender books" and are quarantining them as if they were a dangerous plague. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Emily Maitlis not a doctor not trans not an expert in this field worked for ideological reasons to get healthcare for kids shut down, paid for by the licence fee - and she complains about ideological capture. Absolutely farcical

I suppose it's a good time to re-up this essay: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...

It’s impossible to ignore that “ROGD” is just a very technical way of saying “the internet (and phones) are transing your kids!” Particularly when a notable minority of those pushing these laws admit that stopping kids from being trans is a goal.

yes AND all the transphobia brainwashing was also just this

cis women were bad at being women once too they just got to be bad when they were 12 and you have to do it when you're 26

Today, @dropkickmurphys.com frontman Ken Casey talks anti-fascism, labor solidarity, and 30 years of fighting back. @kimkelly.bsky.social reports from Atlantic City during their tour with fellow political-punk elders Bad Religion. inthesetimes.com/article/drop...

what is the utility of making this point when the political party in question is the fascist party and they stand for all the things you go onto list. kill the bipartisan in your head, the fascists certainly did a long time ago

Thank you, Zohran, for standing with our LGBTQ+ community 100% and defying those stereotypes!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The Dems every time.

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.

If you know, you know

Done!

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Joke’s on everyone who said liberal arts degrees don’t prepare you for the real world - my studies in rise of the Third Reich now doubles as a survival guide.

Please Repost.

1. Last week, we reported on WSU certifying an anti-trans SPLC-designated hate group to teach medicine. Now, S. Baum has uncovered that the Michigan State Medical Society has certified anti-trans hate group Genspect to teach medical workers. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In 2023, deputies tortured two Black men in Mississippi before shooting one of them in the mouth. And this wasn’t the first time they’d done something like this. This week, we uncover the “Goon Squad” and its years-long reign of terror in Rankin County.

So after all of this, the Dems got a deal that is just a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in December that isn't guaranteed to pass. Absolute chickenshit stuff from senate Democrats. They couldn't even get the thing they were asking for.

If they do this—if they cave with nothing—it will be a historic blunder. It will hand Trump a major win and embolden/allow him to further consolidate power. It’s unconscionable political malpractice.
