My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

An incredible, fact sourced read on the internment of Trans people inside the United States, with no current option to claim asylum, we are being forcibly trapped. They don’t want us leaving, they want us “gone.”

Now with alt text.

Was scrolling through my camera roll looking for examples of street art with a clear message to put into this talk for the weekend, and lmao

When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal. Thanks to @micahflee.com for reporting.

I’m fucking done explaining to cis people why they need to give a shit about trans people. I’m tired of watching cis white women see transphobia used to legislate all women’s bodies & saying “keep going.” Show the fuck up cause this is just the start. Read the damn poem - “first they came for…”

Here’s something I whipped out in November that might be of use: “6 Things to Do to Get Politically Involved Right Now (If You’ve Never Been an Activist)” [open access - no paywall] www.patreon.com/posts/6-thin...

A genre that needs to die off is the "Fascists are doing X. Watch. Pay attention" Fuck paying attention. Fuck bearing witness to fascism. Monkeywrench that shit.

Considering DIY? No access to informed consent, and not willing to wait 5+ years on a wait list for your life-saving medications? transharmreduction.org Consider donating, a little goes a long way in the trans community for individuals with access to testing equipment! 💪 Fund blood labs & more!

My least favorite people are the progressives who jump to say “it won’t matter” every time someone makes a suggestion. “They won’t care.” Maybe that’s considered a good contribution to progress where you’re from but I actually think you’re more damaging than anything else.

Would like to remind everyone of the best sequence of panels of all time

Things to learn about before 2025: - social murder - stochastic terrorism - jury nullification - grand juries & grand jury resistance Add to the list in the replies 🧠👇

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

I. DO. NOT. CARE. WHAT. THE. MAJORITY. OF. USIANS. WANT. TO. TALK. ABOUT. OR. NOT. I. DO. NOT. CARE. We do not "compromise" on HUMAN DIGNITY. Assholes.

Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources. 1) The Oxygen of Amplification: Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :(" Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART! Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any! 🚫 Don't argue with them! 🚫 Don't quote them! ✅ #BlockAndMoveOn

Good morning friends
