tbh every time this administration backs down in response to pushback I wonder how different things would be right now if cis people had stood up for us even a little over the past few years

Yes. Also when you were a kid there was no polio vaccine and there were WHITES ONLY signs everywhere. Human knowledge advances. You fucking shithead.

I don't know how to reach the people who need to hear this: WHEN THEY OFFER A WORK OR EDUCATION CAMP FOR YOUR DISABLED CHILD, DO NOT SEND THEM TO THE CAMP. I REPEAT: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO A GOVT CAMP.

Just gonna make this clear! You aren't taking from other people when you buy a mobility or disability aid. Use what you need when you need it. Every level of disability deserves support. For example, you wouldn't say you won't get glasses because others need it more.

Without fail, whenever there's an article about a transgender person, the comments have at least one person who boldly declares: “There are only two genders! XX and XY!” The reality, of course, is not that simplistic, far from it.

I am begging anyone with the ability to commission articles in my industry: let trans people write about what is happening to us right now.

i guess you can reject historical materialism entirely (e.g. Benjamin) but the french revolution is the example for Marx so... lol. huh, every time these purely ideological revolutions happen, coincidentally there are massive crop failures and/or excessive taxation... damn that's crazy...

The way authoritarianism and fascism work is to get you to agree and comply. If you do not comply (ie.compile the lists or in any way sign up for registration etc) and if you ignore the weight of the new social rules being imposed they do not have the ability to function. not complying is good.

I feel almost embarrassed to have missed this PSA from Woot but yeah, guys do better. Carpetwurm had carpet bagged his way to Bluesky and his history of being a pick-me furry of the alt-right and a hater towards trans folk is notorious. Don't give him the patience or your time. Just block and walk.

Everyone needs to internalize that when they say they want to "eliminate autism" what they mean is "eliminate autistic people and their families".

Even if he has done something criminal, sending him to a torture gulag in El Salvador would still unacceptable and a violation of his rights. No one should ever be sent to a torture gulag or most prisons but that’s a wider conversation most people don’t want to have.

None of you in queer adjacent, leftist discords dare give them the scan of your ID or your face so you can view "mature content"; doing so would be extremely fucking stupid and endanger you and everyone else on the server.

With new protests this weekend, bringing this back! Reminder that I do free legal support and "know your rights" trainings for progressive, racial justice, antizionist, trans rights, disability rights, and immigration rights actions and activism in Illinois.

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.

It's really foul - and I say this as a trans woman whose father threw the Ultimate Temper Tantrum and made me and my mother homeless about my being trans and queer - how they streamlined our _deaths of despair_ into "they use suicide as leverage to get their way".

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Before the protests began many people told us “Anon the election already happened this is pointless” or “I’m too old to protest” but look at you now, how far you have come along. We believe in you and the America you believe you can be. This is just the beginning and more must and will be done. #3E

Re-upping in case protesting ain't your thing or you're unable to protest. You can still show up and participate. 🥰

This from Rick Steves, summarized by the estimable @mikecaulfield.bsky.social, is a perfect and perfectly American analogy to reach out to people whose instincts might be to let Trump fully punch himself out (a category I am sometimes in)

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Obviously this will not be reported by mainstream media (which is at root responsible for this), a group of trans people were attacked for having a peaceful gathering in Manchester.

People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador. Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

For all of the people who keep claiming that those of us on the academic and research side who are pointing out that the techno fascists are enacting their vision to destroy America are “just conspiracy theorists” or “not real academics” or that we are “doomers”. Here they are in their own words

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

If this doesn’t prove that Schumer and the rest of the corporate Democrats have to go I don’t know what is going to convince you. People want strong leadership and real material change I’m still not giving a cent to the party until they remove him from power and change course completely.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!
