happy pride month btw

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Should be a bigger story that John McCain’s widow Cindy McCain went on American TV and called bullshit on Israel’s lies last weekend. Like John McCain’s widow is now to the left of Cory Booker on Israel. That’s how bad the Dems are on Palestinian human rights.

Anyone saying ‘DEI’ here in the UK is telling you very directly where their hate is imported from.

You can’t say ‘TERFs have a point’ and ‘TRA’ and that the ‘island of strangers’ speech outrage was overblown, and expect any money from people who you alienate with that, if you wanna pander to GB News you’re gonna lose people like me, what did you expect?

a lot of people treat trans women's inability to get pregnant as read through a kind of cis male privilege and not "the failure of this strata of women-things to bear children for the family is a central part of what marks them for extremely high levels of sexual exploitation and murder"

Remembering this trans man for Pride. Mexican Revolutionary Amelio Robles Ávila, who threatened to shoot anyone who misgendered him and said "he did not want to die without being known as a man,” lived his life as a man after transitioning. One of Zapata’s top commanders. We have always been here.

ok so remember when ur fucking me i physically can’t cum until you insert disc 2

A lot of people would apparently still benefit from reading some Edward Said, perhaps his Zionism From The Standpoint of Its Victims, or the posthumously published An Open Letter to American-Jewish Intellectuals

The Israeli humanitarian aid lie has killed more than 50people who were simply searching for food and medicine They were shot in the head including two of my relatives My husband is battling illness and his treatment costs$900We have nothing Ibeg you from my heart Help us save him gofund.me/ada35961

Under siege and starving, we need you now more than ever.😔 I’m a Palestinian woman, My husband and I got engaged two months before the war, . We were building a life, a home, a future. Now everything is gone, except hope. Give us a hand please 👇 tinyurl.com/bep5wfud

The American media keeps saying that Hamas won't agree to a ceasefire of any length which is weird because Israeli media says the problem is Hamas' ceasefire demands are *far too long*

The only political party I will ever support again. Ms Rachel for children first

me being a radfem in winter until i shave my legs again in mid spring

you may remember me from such trust and safety decisions as 'not protecting black users' and 'throwing trans people under the bus'

All glory to the fighters, I stand up equivocally with Subcommandante Insurgente Dench and her north yorkshire revolutionaries

the democrats could easily out-message the republicans on trans rights, but they do not want to. they know what works and what doesn't and they will keep doing what doesn't work on purpose

that vaunted “Royal Navy” was made of what used to be a lush island forest

Part of the tragedy of addiction is that when it inevitably turns a giant asshole into a giant monster, every diligent addict out there who works thanklessly to keep themselves accountable to their people has to quietly wince at the sight of the left's growing willingness to make "junkie" an insult.

what killed these people in these countries was their decades long (arguably centuries long) produced dependency and forced economic situation on behalf of the west. it is not just on musk and trump. it is on capitalism, neoliberal policy and structural adjustment programs etc.

Revolutoinary idea: boys and girls encounter gender norms through a process of navigating their social environments and discovering what is permitted and what invites disciplining in a continuous process this social and cultural reproduction means ... we all learn misogynistic social norms

It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

Here's a funny anecdote from Stephen Kinzer's "The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and their Secret World War" about Allen Dulles, future director of the CIA, missing a very important phone call in 1917:

it's pretty wild how throughout all of history nobody who has ever decided to argue that "actually a little bigotry is okay" ends up looking like one of the good guys and yet people are still lining up left and right for the opportunity to do so in the paper of record

On this day in 2022, LAPD officer Houston Tipping, was beaten to death during a so-called "training exercise". At the time of his murder, he had been investigating a gang rape committed by four other cops, one of whom was present when he was was killed. Tipping's last words were, "I can't breathe."

I think about this a lot

they hid the true history from you, my friend. the first people Hitler jailed weren't jewish bankers or protestant liberals. they were communists, trade unionists and Marxist intellectuals.

watching how bsky moderation treats gazans has really been informative on what we're racing towards, btw

Susan Brownmiller, like many feminist writers, was a Nazi. She blamed Emmett Till for his own lynching, and her racism was so egregious that Angela Davis needed to address it directly here:
