ARE. ARE, YOU DUMBASS.

Look i can't in good conscience tell you to go out & find all the badly rendered rule 34 shrek/bee movie jpegs and 3D animation that exists and then upload it to this anti-"DEI" gov website because I don't think anyone should have to put themselves through that, but i can't really *Stop* you, either

🚨 Texas House Rep. Brent Money has introduced the first total ban on gender affirming care for all trans people in Texas. This is an unequivocal ban affecting all trans people by removing amending the existing ban on trans youth to apply to adults as well. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

The reason they use thinly veiled euphemism for racial sterilization is that the press will run the thinly veiled euphemism and never have the temerity to come out and say they’re pushing for the mass extermination of Black people through sterilization.

The US is talking about mass sterilisation – again A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse – his country has been here before Absolutely terrifying yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/t...

Gotta go over and speak with my uncles horse. Uncle thinks its got ennui. I'll get to the bottom of it.

I’m glad this asshole is finally getting called tf out.

Not that anyone needs me to say it, but: that is of course the point

This is the kind of monstrous, inhuman shit the Nazis did. "Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website HaMakom has revealed."

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

[getting the shit kicked out of me] this is illegal actually!

Its not even an original monstrous thought, because that is just how awful RFK Jr is. In the 19th century, many asylums, epileptic colonies, and other institutional spaces had farms attached to them. To exploit disabled people's labor with the excuse that that labor would "cure" or "fix" them.

Yahoo [Feb 13] -- **TRIGGER WARNING** NYS Police charged 5 people w/ violently assaulting 24 y/o Black trans man Sam Nordquist for a month before discarding his body in a field, describing it as "beyond depraved." Rest In Peace, Sam. You are not forgotten. [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

NEW: The Trump White House recently cited a Vinay Prasad in an email attacking the Washington Post and defending its research cuts. Prasad has built up a sizable online following sowing doubt about vaccines and COVID-19 mitigation measures. www.importantcontext.news/p/trump-whit...

yeah but consider this: it's funny as hell and i don't care about tesla owners

how bad do the chiefs have to lose by to change their name

every professional writer i know is an absolute pervert for em dashes but go on

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

transsexual: hey i’d like to take this harmless drug that makes life worth living america: fuck you *starts a world war*

I love that one method of simple sabotage is being Colin Robinson

“Audacious.” What the fuck are these people doing.

If I gave you 1,000,000 guesses, there is a 0% chance you would guess what this is in response to. Please click on this and scroll up to the first post. I'm begging you.

Canadians are watching as Silicon Valley takes over the US government, but few realize Shopify executives are trying to bring a similar project to Canada — and the leader of the Conservative Party has started praising them for it. Read my latest for @thebreach.bsky.social:

Sometimes referred to (incorrectly IMO) as the first licenced female doctor to practice in Canada, James Barry is more accurately described as the first known trans doctor in Canada.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

I can’t find any archival evidence that that the Langston Hughes poem circulating here today is authentic so here is a sourced Hughes poem, Beaumont to Detroit, 1943, published that year in the magazine Common Ground, in which he compares Hitler and Mussolini to American Jim Crow and the KKK

If you were already sick of doomscrolling about the Elon coup or tariffs or living in high anxiety of the next EO that says you’re not a person and should be hunted for sport—good news! Here’s a little threat of nuclear annihilation to cleanse your palate .

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...

the Singal retweet lmao

“give trans people money” isn’t like a cute joke. we need money to survive give us money.

this is theft on an unimaginable scale

It's an absolutely vital part of communities surviving this regime - State, local, and board level governance just refusing to implement his orders when they don't have to.

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

I've collected accounts from trans folks inside US prisons facing Trump's brutal crackdown: trans women rounded up + placed in solitary before transfer to men's prisons; canceled medical appointments + loss of vital healthcare; vicious taunting "You're going to be a man," one guard told trans women

from the UK: 'Disability benefits have a positive impact on people's wellbeing which outweighs the cost of administering them, economists have found' www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Do they really think pathogens stop at the border and they can do anything without international cooperation? It's not just disappointing, it's recklessly endangering the health of the whole world.

This is 67 cases--a tiny fraction of TB's global burden, which exceeds 10,000,000 active cases per year. But the longer we allow a curable illness to infect and kill millions, the more TB we'll see in the U.S. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and TB anywhere is a threat to humans everywhere.

Swiss authorities have arrested and deported prominent Palestinian American journalist Ali Abunimah, executive director of The Electronic Intifada, ahead of a speech he was slated to give in Zurich. Abunimah was arrested by three plainclothes officers, who forced him into an unmarked vehicle.

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social What's up with the mask ban? This is not only anti-science, but Section 2 likely a violation of ADA. You do not have the authority to ask someone to remove their mask and to put themselves at risk. Additionally, sunglasses are also a reasonable accommodation

Ontario universities are cut to the bone. They're being financially strangled by the Ford government, via a merciless, stupid tuition freeze and the lowest per student funding in Canada, ever. If this gov't is re-elected, one of the best uni systems in the world is dead.
