This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
We just raised $500,000 for @translifeline.org. If we can raise just $60k more before 10am tomorrow, we will have broken last year's record.

First day of the meeting, and I am already tired? Chalking that up to travel and jet lag. Interesting restaurant I may have to try. #EntSoc25

Car rental agencies should charge you a reduced rate for gas if you prepay. My guess is that many people don’t bring them back completely empty, so they would still make money. Plus they can market it as “pay less than you would at the pump” and more people might get it.

when the crowd cheers for the Nazi salute, what you have is a crowd full of Nazis
