must rock being a cybertruck guy. every time you pull up it’s like beep beep make way for the Ambassador of Divorce

It’s almost like actually humanizing trans people—letting us be in the room—creates real change and deescalates the culture war instead of treating as pawns to elicits support over, problems for being “too controversial”, or villains for being vocal about our issues to people who aren’t listening.

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

the leaders of the democrats want the overton window to shift right, because they want a more right-wing electorate. their goal is to be the party of the reasonable republican, & they'll run on that regardless of electoral success until they all retire (lol) or expire

I think if you're going to condemn particular protest tactics you have to explain how the public is supposed to deal with the president selling their government to a billionaire and Congress not caring. Deprived of institutional checks and balances people will invent their own

Manosphere makes you angry at women instead of the capitalists exploiting you. Culture warriors make you angry at LGBTQ+ BIPOC and women instead of the capitalists exploiting you. RW Pundits make you angry at immigrants LGBTQ+ BIPOC women and poor people instead of the capitalists exploiting you.

What a trip. 20 years later Kanye is selling t-shirts with swastikas on them and Mike Myers is the one calling out an American president on live television.

Always remember they're going after trans people not because trans people became too public, not because trans people asked for too much, not because trans people had too many genders, not because trans people were annoying online. They're going after trans people because they lost to gay people.

ai wrote my son a very impressive resume, and his only work experience is moderating a subreddit about giving yourself diarrhea on purpose

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book: Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America. It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight READ IT!

Guess I’m going to jail

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

I have found the Lagrange point of illness: I am just sick enough that I can’t get any work done, but healthy enough that I feel like I should be able to write (it’s just tapping on a keyboard after all), leading to a beautiful stasis where I neither get anything done nor rest and recover

for a while Musk really did seem like the most relatable billionaire. yeah, if i had that kind of money I'd want to go to space and make sports cars, etc. Turned out that was just PR, and what he really wanted out of life was to be seen as funny by teenaged Nazis on the Internet

going back in time to tell myself this image is going to end the human race

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

The problem with scouring Medicare and Social Security for "waste" is that they inherently don't provide a return on investment. They exist to help people who need help and often can't help themselves. To much of the far right, this in and of itself constitutes "waste."

Philly is a special place because, win or lose, something will definitely be set on fire

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

Union square is full of people protesting for trans youth. Over for 4000 in attendance

I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

Great new episode of @somemorenews.bsky.social youtu.be/mlkBa7ooUN4?...

Incredibly important point about how allegedly "liberal" concern trolls were clutch in making this happen. The likes of Jesse Singal and Pamela Paul hyper-focused on children, to create the illusion that trans is just a "trend." adriandaub.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

We're finally dismantling the federal government! Sure hope it doesn't serve essential functions that I've taken for granted my whole life

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

We should always assume that conservatives are arguing in good faith, because to do otherwise undermines our liberal values.

Remember that you will not get to fight evil. You will not be faced with people you *can* fight. You will be faced with bureaucracy and people who tell you they’re just doing their job. Your fight will not be good vs evil, it will be doing good vs doing nothing because it’s easier.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

Thinking of trans people today, the attacks and bigotry they'll endure over these years, and the failure of mainstream media and greater society to behave with decency and offer support to the marginalized. We must be brave, take action, and listen to those who ask for help, for the good of us all.

Let’s not lose sight of why the govt actually banned tiktok and what the inciting incident was for Democrats to take up the charge. It was speech on the app related to Gaza. Drop Site News has been doing great reporting on this x.com/dropsitenews...
