Civility politics only help the oppressor maintain power. If you are demanding civility in a fight against fascists you are already on the wrong side.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Sample script for calling members of Congress. Originally posted on TikTok by an unknown creator. If you know who, please comment so they can be credited. Call your representatives. Hold them accountable.

On a day when the Trump regime has forced the National Park Service to literally erase transgender people from Stonewall, here is a 2016 interview with Stonewall Veteran Rusty Rose where she tells the unvarnished historical truth. #WeWillNotBeErased www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFLs...

"The woke are erasing women!!" Anti-"woke" candidate takes power Literally erases all mentions of women

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Hello I'm bad at asking for support for my career but this week was hard and I got through it and hit all my deadlines and we have to do it again next week.

"You're too sensitive" says the people who are scared of pronouns in an email signature

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base. On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

Shoot for the stars and if you fall short you can expect rapid unplanned lithobraking on the moon

The bigot's battle cry of "We Always Know" is provably false I have documented examples after examples after examples of cisgender women being forcefully confronted by bigots who are SURE they have "caught" a transgender woman. Some have been injured or even killed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL_8...

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

Wild that BlueSky makes its user data public, makes a point of proclaiming how important that is, won't let us make our accounts private even for our own safety, and then bans Juni for using that celebrated public information to show what posts the head of T&S interacts with on his work account.

Segregation academies formed in the South after Brown v Board of Education never actually went away

"Who says I am not under the special protection of God?" - Adolf Hitler, March 23rd 1933. Official speech on the Enabling Act which granted him absolute power over the government and making him Germany's dictator.

You are not required to forgive bigoted and/or abusive relatives “because it’s Christmas.” This is doubly true if they have neither apologized nor changed their behavior.

Reference thread on the parallels between the transphobia and homophobia moral panics.

I have to emphasise that the people doing conversion therapy in 1962 on gay people were also doing it already on trans people. Read "Curing Queers: Mental Nurses and Their Patients, 1935–74" for some info on the specifics of the British system but this was everywhere.

June Davis Finally Wins, Which is Not Allowed A cartoon by me and @spiraldragonfly.bsky.social I think a book is a cool idea! #PoliCartoon

These are the photos newly released list of chairs for the 17 sitting committees of the US House by the Republican party. Tell me again how the Republicans aren't the party of White old men. \1

There were 756 billionaires in the US as of 2023. Trump has said he is appointing 10 of them to his cabinet *so far* - and is a billionaire himself. This is what plutocracy/oligarchy looks like.

I followed the instructions at whtwnd.com/fei.chicory.... to generate a new recovery key, since it appears we are running the "Bluesky PBLLC may become an adverse actor" part of the script. The only part that choked was `goat account login` since I have 2fa enabled. I'll send a PR to allow tokens.

Started typing a response to somebody that completely pissed me off just now Something stopped me. I realized it was a dunk So I calmed down & asked myself “Is this really necessary? Nope, it’ll piss others off needlessly off. It was posted to BE yelled at like an engagement dare.” So I blocked.

For those who are not aware, this is known as The Ratchet Effect in US politics. The Republicans move things to the right when in power. The Democrats *hold* it at the new position. And over the decades, the US continues to step further rightward stopmebeforeivoteagain.org/stopme/chapt...

last 24 hours, I've seen a couple accounts (none of them trans) claim that if Bluesky bans Jesse for clear violations of policy (see link below) then somehow Müsk is gonna get involved & use it to bring down Bsky. did J or M mention this? or is this wild speculation? www.change.org/p/bluesky-mu...

Every conversation with "concerned" cis people about trans healthcare

When given a choice between *a truth they don't like* and *spreading a lie that supports their side*, Republicans spread the lie. Democrats....don't Anyone who can't see the connection to Republicans ignoring Trump's never-ending stream of lies is probably a Republican www.ama.org/2024/12/09/s...

After Wes Streeting's decision to harm a generation of trans children for nothing but culture war and his own personal disgust I hope Labour are never welcome at another Pride for as long as he lives
