The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

the white nationalists in the white house are doing their best to convince the world the only racism is against white people and to call it a “white genocide” to muddy the water on what genocide is, and where it’s happening

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This seems like an image of the good guys in a history book for sure

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

all this will do is keep more kids missing. this administration is being targetedly evil towards trans people to try and erase us. anyone with common sense or compassion or with the actual goal to find missing and exploited children should rail against this every single day

We should have some unprecedented events that are good for once

"The goal of targeting trans women’s participation in sports is to create a federal law that declares trans women are men. Once that precedent is established, then the laws can become more restrictive until it’s no longer legally viable to exist as a trans person under federal law." 👇

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.

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

(twenty minutes into a video game) ah hell this is one of those you have to get good at fuck this
