I don't think cis people can comprehend how radicalising it is to spend any significant portion of your life wanting to not be alive until the solution you find happens to be the same one that western civilization suddenly decides it wants to kill you for taking
Sigh, it is really hard to compete with cis lesbians. But I’m trying.
It is easy now to forget that George W. Bush had a white-knuckled stranglehold on the title of worst United States president in history. It was like Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game at the time. No one ever thought it would be possible to even come close, let alone beat it.
i've never needed a job more than i need this one
It wasn’t a lot to ask in retrospect but it was more than people were willing to do. So yeah. No one could have known it would get this bad except all the people who were jumping up and down screaming “it’s going to turn out like this”
The US is the single most evil entity on the planet and every last one of our souls is blackened by its actions.
Every day I understand more and more how this costume was fooling people
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

This is a policy of genocide.
The people who lived through 9/11 and Iraq are approaching their 40s-50s and they’re still treated like immature kids who aren’t worth listening to. We were right motherfuckers, and we’re right to say it
Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change
death to israel, death to america
the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
the right's propaganda against trans people has been one of their most successful campaigns as of late. it's been so obviously astroturfed, so clearly manufactured. but they have useful toadies like singal who gets opinion pieces in the NYT to convince the liberals it's okay
If you shout “fuck-ass bitch” while Trump is speaking you’ll receive $1 billion in donations tomorrow and immediately become the 2028 frontrunner. It’s crucial you do not do this.
With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.
The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.
Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.
"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.
NYU Langone ending trans youth care feels like the end is neigh for trans youth care in the US & I’m in a rage that it’s not Trump or Republicans forcing the end of this care, it’s private “liberal” universities in blue cities/blue states voluntarily doing this (also Northwestern Lurie in Chicago).
Pardoning drug lords but deporting sick little kids straight from the hospital really sums the whole thing up doesn’t it
"Down with beating and punishment of children in the family!", Soviet poster, 1926
chat is it good or bad if the only defense against fascism is voting for one party forever and never letting them lose no matter how far right they go and how much of the fascist's policies around immigration and trans rights and abortion they start taking on over time?
One of those nights where I had a really great time but I’m also struggling to keep it together. 🤷♀️
We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege
the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it
Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year
ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.
