Ich würde gerne verstehen, ob nur nicht begriffen wird wie umfassend monströs die sich zuspitzende systematische Verunmöglichung von trans, intergeschlechtlichem und nicht-binärem Leben in den USA in Intention und Konsequenz ist oder ist das legale Auslöschen von tin Leben schlicht egal?

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

The trans community has been warning about this for awhile now and now here it is. Sadly other states are going to follow suit. There is only so many states trans people can flee to before the federal government also makes it more national ban (and they will do so)

Being trans in the US is watching your community be genocided in slow motion as the media bounces between cheering it on and denying it, and elected Dems say they can't defend you because you cost them too many votes, and leftists say you divide the working class so they won't defend you either.

Every trans organizer I know is preparing to die. We have been screaming for years that our community is under existential threat. And this has been the overwhelming response. We have lost all hope that cis people are going to do anything at all to protect us. We are all we have. Again.

Very happy that our paper (w/ @dziblatt.bsky.social & E Dinas) has been accepted @bjpols.bsky.social . We've seen the center right increasingly adopt far-right rhetoric. Our experiment in 🇩🇪 finds that this erodes anti-prejudice norms more than when the far-right employs similar rhetoric. 1/3

Kann leider nicht druko'n, aber: Die Gedanken der Journalistinnen dürften gleichermaßen für viele angehende Beamtinnen, zb an Schulen und Unis gelten. Da hat der Fall der angehenden Lehrerin in Bayern sicher auch nochmal für Verunsicherung gesorgt. Als #ichbinhanna und Co denkt man da 3x nach.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hier ist das Wahlergebnis umgerechnet auf die gesamte Bevölkerung. Der neue Bundestag wird gewählt von nur 51% der Menschen in Deutschland. Es gibt mehr Menschen ohne deutschen Pass, die von der Wahl ausgeschlossen werden, als AfD-Wähler. Wen repräsentiert der Bundestag?

Die Sprache ist ja gerne von "diesen jungen Leuten". Ein kurzer 🧵 zum Wahlverhalten nach Altersgruppen und meine Einschätzung zur Veränderung seit 2021. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, dass junge Menschen zwar volatiler wählen als andere Altersgruppen, vor allem aber eine sehr heterogene Gruppe sind!

Sozialdemokrat:innen und Grüne, deren Herz links schlägt, sollten dieses Mal die Linke wählen. Innerhalb ihrer Parteien stärken sie so Positionen, die über die vorauseilende Anbiederung an die CDU hinausgehen. Und der AfD schadet eine Stimme am effektivsten, wenn sie der Linken über die 5% hilft.

It's Aromantic Awareness Week. Here are a few basics: -Romanticism is its own spectrum. -You can be ace or aro or both. All are great! -No, I didn't say "aromatic." -You do know aromantic people! I'm one. -Platonic love is very meaningful to me. -Yeah, I know you read it as "aromatic."

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
