I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Going to start doing RETVRN posting for basic government functioning. Going “this is what they took from you” and it’s a childhood vaccine schedule and pasteurized milk without any manure in it.

Went to Wegmans and there was only one egg for sale. It was $10,000 and a heap of broken bodies lay before its refrigerated golden nest. "Blood for the yolk god," a hundred voices chanted in unison as I took a carton of oat milk and backed away. "BLOOD FOR THE YOLK GOD," they howled.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

every nazi deserves only one thing:

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

This is the year I lure men into bogs got a good feeling about it this time

Why does every Ted Talk guy become stupid in exactly the same way

Oh the cruelty is the point? Should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Bella Hadid

I'm supposed to go out to a bar/restaurant tonight and to be honest I'm fucking terrified. I'm always nervous in social situations, even pre-transition, but just right now, with everything... fuck. It's awful. All sorts of second-hand stories from my hometown of people scared in public.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Arrests have a cost yall: - time in jail - bail - dealing with lawyers / courts - no contact orders - employment - travel restrictions Civil disobedience with the intention of provoking arrest has a time and a place. It's best done as part of a widespread, dedicated campaign supported by normies.

I think writers and artists need to learn self-respect. And I mean it. To not hedge around "aspiring writer, teehee," to not denigrate themselves as "content creators" or to call their work mere "content" at all. To talk about themselves as artists, as writers, as making work that stands on its own.

Just a quick signal boost for those of you who understand what and who you support with your dollars matters.

don’t meet your heros. i finally saw the critters from redwall irl and they don’t even talk. they’re just pissing and shitting everywhere.

How many times does the media have to say "unprecedented" before they'll allow themselves to say "authoritarian"

A full-on purge of the military leadership, targeting women and people of color. This perfectly captures where we are: An escalating authoritarian takeover of the state, combined with an aggressive program to re-segregate the spheres of influence and power and restore complete white male dominance.

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

You have died of procedural norms.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Something is happening

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Plot of a book I'm writing and they just skeeted it out

Being radicalized increasingly since 2016 has just been banging my head against this post indefinitely.

I'm completely serious that pink pussy hat owners would put their lives on the line to help marginalized people while freethinking centrists like this would sell us out to a firing squad for a pat on the back

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

"Slurp slurp," says Jules, their mouth on Trump's boot. "What the fuck do you want me to do, not lick it clean??"
