The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

Seeing people get up to nonsense like this - like not to get all corny, but honest to God - reminds me that people are worth fighting for lmao.

Dear Baby Boomers - "I'm sorry it's a habit, it's old age" doesn't work when the trans person has been out for over 2 years, is fully cisgender-passing and literally everyone else your age (and older) are gendering the trans person just fine.

To all affected, I'm terribly sorry. There is no way, we, as a society, can make it up to you. We are in a sudden & long-term disaster. Disaster responders have experience slowing down time, looking at options, & limiting bad outcomes. We all need to start thinking like a responder right now. 1/

It's 2027. The answers to wordle are exclusively slurs now. Vaccines are illegal and health insurance is $100,000 a month. If you get sick, you just go to an urgent care and they shoot you, but they charge your next of kin for it so if you want to die your best bet is just to get in a Tesla taxi

The workers were emailed by a little boy with no legal authority who interns for the richest Nazi in the world. It is an absolutely insane development and the social copy doesn’t come close to conveying it.

So it turns out that compared to centralized distribution of digital information on the web, printed material in libraries provided a kind of distributed defense against the casual whims of an authoritarian government aiming to rewrite history.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

i dont think kamala harris would have lost by standing up for trans rights. but even if it was the linchpin, i think standing up for equality and human rights is more important than any singular election, including this one. at a certain point you have to stand for *something* no matter polling.
