This 100 percent. It's why it's so hard to place trans stories in many outlets that never took the NYT/Atlantic hard right turn. They don't want to actively contribute to sacrificing us, but they quietly want to see us sacrificed bc they think it will keep them safe.
bluesky is weird about super-nested threads & replies, so i've been using regular posts and quoteposts to highlight official updates.
That hour we lost got hands

I wish more of us would realize that until Trans Women are free, cis Women will never be free fr, ESPECIALLY those of us who are BLACK. All this shit is connected. Don’t pmo.
A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”
Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.
Reminder: the Selma marches would not have been possible without Black women.

Sixty-one. SIXTY-ONE. 61.
My mama is 71.
Still can't believe how bad the Knicks defense was just a month ago.
Like it was bad, bad.
This is good, good.
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
“SZA lamented that the AI creep is happening ‘disproportionately with Black music…’”
Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet
We're in court today asking a judge to block a new Kansas law that invalidates the IDs of transgender people and allows anyone to sue a person they suspect of being trans for using public restrooms.
This law has been wreaking havoc on trans people and we're demanding an immediate end to it.
You know you’re at a Black funeral when:
WHAT'S UP EVERYONE, ANDREA LAFLAMME IS ON BLUESKY NOW
Sick of Graham Platner's Nazi bullshit? Looking for a younger candidate than Janet Mills? Lucky for us, the great state of Maine has more than two people!!
i hope he gets that number retired one day.
He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives
The idea that racial minorities and marginalized people are having to have a conversation about why it's inappropriate and alienating politically to rationalize Nazi tattoos from a senatorial candidate is a big tell about where we are in society right now.
Why are Black women continuing to bear the brunt of unemployment? Three words: #TheDoubleTax.
What Dr. Valerie Wilson has shown is that the group experiencing joblessness is COLLEGE-EDUCATED Black women. Let that sink in. #jobsreport #jobsday
Happy 31st Birthday, Josh Hart 🎉🎂🎈 #KnicksSky
I don’t care how gay I am, don’t show me no ad with “booty hole care” in it lmao
Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.
If you live in Maryland, you have power right now that THE REST OF US DO NOT. Please call your representatives. Bring Lud home.
Spoke to Donald Norcross’s office which offered more clarity than my senators. Was basically told that focus needs to be on Maryland reps and Lud’s reps specifically, because reps outside of the jurisdiction really can’t do anything on this case. #FREELUD
this should be applied to life liberally
one of my favorite lines ever next to "lemonade was a popular drink and it still is"
Nothing reminds you that you’re getting old like remembering that gas used to be
