Stack of books with a picture of two young men facing each other on the cover and the title “unscripting the present: the security panic of queer youth sexuality”

Pentagon abruptly ends all funding for social science research More than 90 studies on threats such as climate change, extremism, and disinformation are halted

Cops burst into women's restroom to remove butch lesbian, accusing her of being a man - LGBTQ Nation “The only men in the women’s restroom were the cops.”

Anti-trans laws mostly harm cis women and bring male cops into women’s toilets.

This is the ultimate goal of the "Gender Critical" movement: to make being trans illegal, and to make prisons torture for trans people

It's not that the American GC movement is more extreme or at odds with the UK one, they are just further ahead

Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday. The tweet has 254.7K views, 397 replies, 3K retweets, 12K likes, and 335 bookmarks.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

Screen shot, which reads, As required by the Administration’s Executive Orders, NEH awards may not be used for the following purposes: promotion of gender ideology; promotion of discriminatory equity ideology; support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives or activities; or environmental justice initiatives or activities.

NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

Hi all! We have extended the deadline for this call!!

New deadline: Saturday, March 1! 💗

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

NEH has posted updates to the funding restrictions for some grant programs.

An illustration of a raven with black and colorful feathers ripped apart a RQ-11B "Raven" drone in its talons. It's against a bright blue/green background with the words "Trans Liberation Not More U.S. Invasion" "No Pride in War" around it.

A circular button/sticker with a pair of black and white scissors cutting a military aircraft in half against a red/pink background with a yellow border. The text circling the circumference of the image says "War Profiteers Kill Queers" "Cut Ties with Boeing" "QueerTransWarBan.com"

A lavender illustration with a person shorts, a white tank top, and boots holding a large syringe and a large injection vial with the words "Healthcare not warfare" on it. In the bottom right corner are two images of people injecting hormones. To the left of the image are two drones/military aircraft with a black cross through them. Below the drone says "Reclaim Pride!" in black text. The top of the image says "'Mones Not Drones" and, in smaller front, "Trans Healthcare Not Warfare"

A purple, black, and white illustration of a person in tall black heels, black, shorts, and a black bikini top with big black hair and purple flowers in their hair kicking a tear gas canister. To the right, are four smaller images of a canister that says 'riot control', a cop in a gas mask with a big cross, the same person winking, and a protest against trans military recruitment and for trans healthcare.

It's important to remember that serving in the military is not liberation for trans people.

Queer Trans War Ban started in 2017 as a project to combat pro-military rhetoric. Go to queertranswarban.com to find these designs and more information about anti-militarism.

SCOTUS Takes Up Case Challenging the ACA’s No-Cost Coverage of PrEP Two Christian-owned companies are challenging the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that insurers cover certain preventive services — including PrEP — at no cost.

I don’t think people know how sex works…

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.

Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Me as well

Friends, please help me spreading the word about this Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity at Penn for a scholar to work at the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies. More info here: apply.interfolio.com/160769

Imagine being a member of the jury and thinking to yourself “I must protect the oppressed health insurance CEO class” this is so unbelievably removed from reality. Cool to know that if you kill poor sick people en masse for a living your life is somehow valued *more*

Love a good Butler interview

Thanks friend :)

It just keeps on getting better…

Insightful, though I would still stress historical context and how democracy in South Korea has always been a project with varying results, though protest continues to be, in my opinion, a unique and powerful characteristic that others can learn from—never settle, always resist

An important point to remember is that the rhetoric he is using isn’t new, it isn’t even surprising. We’ve seen it since the 1950s both during authoritarian years and during supposedly democratic years. The incessant fear of North Korea had routinely been used to clamp down on protest and opposition
