OK i’ve seen almost no media outlet pick up on the fact the Supreme Court ruling endorsed conversion therapy and opens a portal to the normalization of conversion therapy nationally so here’s a thread explaining how they did so, and why you should care (1/x)

“DEI” wth a hard R

“Legal path to transition” might be one of the most violent anti-trans phrases I’ve ever heard.

the first thing out of his mouth as pope was anti gay marriage and people still fawning over him because he likes baseball smdh the cishet bar is the floor

when i say the NYTimes deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, crosswords, connections, and wordle, the wirecutter, the athletic, and all their podcasts. the NYtimes launders anti-trans bigotry; this is their victim-blaming victory lap

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Not even his articles in allegedly-reputable publications, it cites to his fucking Substack The Supreme Court said trans kids can die because of some asshole's blog

I won’t consider the revolution a success until The NY Times headquarters burns to the ground with all its editors in it. I cannot adequately express my rage at those monstrous ghouls

i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

trying to convince someone not to pursue hrt as part of their transition is a form of conversion therapy

"I just don't think that's going to happen."

What a fucking dipshit. How is it everyone on planet earth knows that anyone nominated by the administration is gonna be a loyalist with no experience except the assholes we pay to vote for us on the floor of Congress

Some cis dipshit telling trans people to calm down: "Our job is to support and love [trans kids] in spite of this adversity." Here's a thought: How 'bout you love and support trans kids by getting fucking angry about what's happening to them and then *doing* something about that anger?

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

It's really hard to expect myself to be prosocially invested in this country or world when it just keeps showing how much it doesn't care about me

Getting hate from a number of accounts *who follow me* for posting about trans issues today. Like, what, you follow for pretty bird photos or science facts but you don’t care about the trans person and activist behind them? Pretty bird photos and SciComm can resume when trans kids are safe.

i'm sorry unless they kill each other or themselves there is a less than zero chance I watch a video clip of tucker carlson and ted cruz, what the fuck is wrong with you people

I do not like AI in Slack I do not like AI on Mac I do not like AI in Zoom I don’t want AI in my room I do not want ChatGPT — please stop, AI, and leave me be! I don’t want AI here, or there; I don’t want AI anywhere! (… okay, okay — had to Seuss it, sorry 😇)

Babe, banning you from bathrooms was not “a distraction.” It was setting a precedent that in that space, you are not a woman and won’t be legally allowed to be treated as such. Because if they can do it to you, and if you won’t fight back, if any of us fight back, we are unreasonable.

Every conversation about the Trump Administration needs to begin with the premise that they are white supremacists who want to harness the government to promote white supremacy. If you don't start from this awareness, every conversation will be nonsense

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

I think what I’m most offended by is that Democrats and pundits spent the last 135 month and days arguing about whether or not trans and POC People were divisive And still are Meanwhile the unhinged racists are sta Tying WWIII and shooting protesters and democratic legislators

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

On any normal day this should be not just front page news, but immediate impeachment. Can you fucking imagine...no of course not, because if the Democrats tried this bullshit... Meanwhile a big problem with media is that rich oligarchs own it

I hate this so much... it is maddening. There is zero respect for consent. They know people don't want it and keep cramming it in and turning it on anyway.

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)

it would be so awesome if yall didn’t only wear masks at explicitly political actions and instead saw your choice to wear a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces at the political action it is: one in direct opposition to the eugenic policies we’re being forced to live under.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

thing i'm always on about one of the reasons why you can't "do things the way they did in the 60s" as lefties are scolded so often to do is that media made a move towards not reporting on protests instead of front page smearing so as to smother oxygen. and this applies to regular lib protests too

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

They cracked open an old man's skull in front of all of us 5 years ago. What's wrong with you all, do you not remember everything they do?

We all expect this. I said immediately that this must be placed at the feet of the Right. Keep saying it and letting others people know.

Assassins dress like cops & the secret police wear masks and no ID

it paints a clear picture when protesters are being arrested for wearing medical masks for their own safety and safety of others, in contrast to the ICE agents being protested against who wear masks in order to do explicit harm to others. the hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

wracking my brains to think of someone who would have had access to a police uniform, a police-issue plate carrier, and a police car

Bernie Sanders had to apologize for a random person on Twitter with 32 followers being an asshole. It became a nationwide story An individual pretends to be a cop and murders sitting Dems and not a single law enforcement agent nor right wing elected will be questioned if they're at fault. They are.

Republicans are dressing as cops and assassinating members of congress and democrats are insisting protesters limit themselves to holding parades, giving their routes to the cops, and sitting on the ground passively to be brutalized by said cops.
