Where law ends, tyranny begins.

We got there! Together, we raised over $564,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights and all are deserving of equality and love. To everyone who was a part of this, from myself, @goberthicks.bsky.social, and all of us here at Tolarian Community College: THANK YOU. 💙💜🤍

Get in there if you can

Watching this all play out in real time is just...man, I don't even have the fucking words. Shit is fucking scary and they're trying to erase trans people from history. WE'RE FUCKING HERE.

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.

This is why we have to fight our hardest.

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while. at any case, glad it's started.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

That’s enough internet for today. Gonna just leave you with this @alfredtwu.com cartoon.

Trump’s latest EO sets the groundwork to outlaw gender affirming care for adults and he’s been in office for less than 10 days. I need you to be angry about this. I need you to care for your trans friends. I need you to hear me when I tell you how bad this is.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

This thread.

Teferi reminds us that the good times can come back too, I want to hold onto that. I want to believe in that & you should too

An important reminder from @chasestrangio.bsky.social

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

oh god I'm doing it, it's happening, I'm deleting my entire Twitter archive because I just don't trust that malevolent clown with it, fuck it really feels like the end of an era

I would strongly advise holdouts to get the fuck off twitter. and if you do stay there, for god's sake don't use dm's.

A lot of you probably saw these words from Rebecca Solnit today, but in case you didn't, maybe you can take some inspiration from them.
