This whole thread is excellent, but this especially:

This moment is so incredibly dangerous -- and made more so because of the collective silences and failures of 98 percent of Democrat politicians.

Generals I have gathered you here today to make sure the military isn't doing anything gay or black

Oh well! Maybe next weekend they'll solve it for us? 😐 💀

First "flapjack" -- definitely NOT a pancake apparently !!! -- and now, "school cake" ??? ??? #gbbo #greatbritishbakeoff #greatbritishbakingshow

Hey share another AI video on Zuck's "Vibes" feed, why dontcha? 🧐

Stop whatever you're doing and look at this new picture of Gillian Anderson

100 percent facts

Many of these stories ARE STILL UP ON WEBSITES even though there was no trans shooter and no "trans bullets" 🙄

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Teaching LGBTQ Studies in Ohio under this bill is a completely miserable experience. This is, of course, what they wanted. Ohio's Governor is now lecturing universities about making our campus tours more "pleasant" to boost flagging enrollment. Uh, guy, the tours aren't the fucking problem.

If you only read one thing today, make it this: 1/?

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

It won't be long before women are imprisoned for having autistic children. Did you take Tylenol during pregnancy? To the work camps!

SO GOOD

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

Greed puts out the sun.

1. Anti-trans rhetoric heated up yesterday on the far-right, with two congresspeople and major Republican figures calling for the institutionalization of trans people. Both Reps Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson made such calls. Musk, Loomer, and Walsh echoed them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

As an old who survived the 80s when many many did not: These fascist freaks are perfectly serious and now, like then, we will not let them win.

THIS IS FACTS

WHAT THE HELL

Don't forget the universities, who are super busy capitulating in every instance also 😐

Oh my god fucking hurry up just do it already

Yes he really did say these things and I'm SO FUCKING TIRED of having to argue the facts and reality about Charlie Kirk's life of hate, for fuck's sake 🫠

Here it is. Please share it widely. I didn't do this because I wanted to be safe, but because I am determined not to lose my freedoms without a fight. I'm doing this for you, America. Long live the bill of rights and fuck Charlie Kirk.

This whole thread brings together a lot of important context about our current precarious political moment.

I know it's useless to marvel at the hypocrisy of the "free speech" right-wingers, but I can't help but do it anyway. How can they say the support free speech with a straight face, while calling for the firing, ruin, imprisonment and deportation of Americans who say bad stuff about Charlie Kirk?

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA created the Professor Watchlist -- a list created to harass, intimidate, dox, mock, threaten and ruin professors who do race and gender work. I'm on that list. @governor.ca.gov please let me know if THIS is the "work" you think we should "continue" ??? 😐

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

And now we get to play the waiting game of "how will they blame trans people?"

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

Earlier today I posted about the the Texas A&M professor; I wrote that the professor could be heard on the tape saying "My gender is not illegal." I have deleted that post because it was pointed out to me -- and I verified with a careful re-listen -- that I was mistaken. 1/2

So you can't use race in college admissions, but you CAN use race in profiling people who look like immigrants? Tell me you're a white supremacist fascist administration without telling me you're a white supremacist fascist administration ☠️

An entirely enraging fact is that the government is likely going to have to refund "up to half" of the tariffs collected under Trump's illegal scheme, which means this:

This entire thread is great, but especially this:

Nothing screams "innocence" like ordering a military flyover during the victims' press conference, I mean, right? Right?

I'm absolutely motherfucking DONE explaining why Newsom is not ever going to get my vote (in the presidential election that's three fucking years away, for god's sake!) -- so from now on, Newsom stans in my mentions are going to get directed here:

It makes me feel completely crazy that this is happening -- and we're supposed to pretend everything is normal. Knitting is my therapy, my sanity. To lose access to the materials I need is horrible. Fuck this administration. Donald Trump, I will DANCE on your grave -- while knitting, if I can.

So I'm just blocking this shithead and I know my followers don't need to hear this but I worry wider liberals find this kind of argument convincing and this is what they think it is all about so I'm going to break it down. Bathroom bills aren't just about 'getting to use your choice of bathroom'.

This is an amazing thread of resources ♥️

In what universe are trans people "celebrated?" Certainly not this one.

My god this entire thread 💀

I think it's useful to unpack this. If Democrats agree with Republicans on excluding women's sports, what's the harm? Is it primarily harm to trans women who play sports, or is there something more to it? A reasonable person who doesn't know much about trans issues could ask these questions.
