Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.

there is no such thing as “biological sex” and there never was. there is no point to arguing about this bc it’s not an argument, it’s an attack designed to remove personhood. the correct response to being attacked is to attack back. no more discourse

Jack is a Nazi and a stochastic terrorist who literally wrote a book published last year called unhumans laying out a plan and call to exterminate anyone left of Hitler because they are not humans. NPR stop doing Nazi revisionism challenge failed yet again.

You can tell Nancy Mace stopped paying attention to biology after the first month of 5th grade because 1 in 500 people born with male phenotypes have XXY chromosomes and 1 in 20K born as “biological males” actually have XX chromosomes. Even “biological sex” isn’t actually binary anywhere in nature.

In a functioning system, Trump would have been chained up immediately after he incited a coup. He would have been dealt with like a traitor and a terrorist. But we didn't have a functioning system. And that's why we can't just hope to go back, we have to reimagine something better.

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

Read what the FBI did to Billie Holiday, the way they'd have local police stand in the theatre at her gigs and arrest her the moment she started to sing Strange Fruit, the way they pushed heroin on her to try and destroy her from within. She persisted through the lies, the threats, the surveillance.

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

submitted 3 days ago • 394 comments

The king comment was a joke. The salute was a joke. The claims of no more elections are a joke. The calls to deport all immigrants are jokes. The racism is a joke. The transphobia is a joke. The misogyny is a joke. Almost like they tell us everything is a joke to stop us reacting.

I really don't give a shit about what a bunch of racist dead old white men thought. The plain text of the amendment is obvious to anyone who reads it.

an important aspect of this to remember is that the misinformation isn’t an accident, they know they’re lying. that’s the intention. if they can anger and rile up their base with claims that are exaggerated they’ll continue to fuel them to gain power. they want us to live in a post-truth world

Really don’t know what to tell people as someone who has written and spoken about the far right and authoritarianism and is in the academic side of this that we crossed the rubicon tonight when Trump declared he and the AG are the sole arbitrators of law.

We got there! Together, we raised over $564,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights and all are deserving of equality and love.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

If you are enjoying gay rights then you owe a debt of gratitude to trans people. Like, sorry but trans people are the reason gay people can get married today. It wouldn't have happened without us.

This legal fiction is to shield Musk from any meaningful accountability. He is operating his own organization within the federal government, loyal to him not Trump, and has amassed unprecedented control of federal data. But just an advisor!
