Leading Democrats have almost completely ignored Trump's efforts to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. www.discourseblog.com/p/democrats-...

So many Americans I know are just shocked, shocked! at the emergence of overt fascism in the US., but I’m not. Anyone who has been paying attention could see that its roots have always been present in our imperialist foreign policy and domestic racism and white supremacy.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

“…and doesn’t care. Indeed, that’s the point.” …is how this quote ends, basically. Disgusting.

This is some fascist bullshit right here. For the record, Trump and Musk can go to hell.

Some days I can set aside the hate directed at me by so many millions of people, the targeted anti-trans policies, the persecution. Some days I can rise above it and resist the dysphoria, fear, and sadness. Today is not one of those days. #trans #transgender

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

The University Of Cincinnati is replacing all of it's restroom signs with ones that designate use to only biological sex.

The Department of Homeland Security can now spy on you based solely on your “gender identity or sexual orientation.” I’m watching every fucking libertarian or “small c conservative” to judge how full of shit they are news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

We now have a website. udm14.com

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

Dear younger trans people, I am a battle-tested 50-something trans woman, and still slaying it. I also have a good life full of people who love me and accept who I am. I just want you to see what being an older trans person can look like. Stay strong and hopeful. I'm proud of you 🏳️‍⚧️💜

Being a trans ally means action. Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Speak up. But also: Amplify trans voices. Pay trans people. Donate to trans orgs. Create jobs and safe spaces for trans people. Stop thinking words are enough.

“We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world—bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts.” ― Hunter S. Thompson

Oh my god. This is … abhorrent.

I'm thinking a lot lately about Capital in the 21st Century which so far is spot on in its predictions that our economic model, being based in the vacuum era of world wars, is actually a historical outlier and we're returning to the old equilibrium of aristocracy and the end of true modern democracy

I have never seen a judge tell lawyers that their case is founded on total shit quite so directly or completely before. “You know you’re just completely wrong about biology, right?”

Been feeling this song lately “Mind over matter” by Sarchasm youtu.be/mB_HjSpb-Ec

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Hey just a question for the other frogs out there Is it getting warmer in this pot? It feels like maybe it’s getting warmer in this pot

I think it’s important to analyze this activity in terms of power: 1. They are threatening current & future federal employees about what happens if they don’t follow orders 2. Creating openings for loyalists 3. Creating opportunities for privatization 4. Raiding for resources, money and info Etc

Trump’s new passport rules are trapping transgender Americans in bureaucratic limbo www.vox.com/politics... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews: www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...

Hey guess what! Remember when Starbucks workers went on strike the day before Christmas/Hanukkah of 2024? The strike inspired two more stores in Minnesota to start a union campaign. Read this report by Isabela Escalona for @workdaymagazine.bsky.social

Andrew Bailey is a fucking douchebag. “Cis het white guys make better coffee, so let’s sue Starbucks” is such a stupid fucking position to take. But that because it’s just an expression of brazen racism and sexism. To hell with him and the rest of the GOP.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow. You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

Musk killed these people.
