"Don't get distracted by the government disappearing and dehumanizing trans people. That's a deliberate strategy to distract and overwhelm you" is how some of you sound lately

People who write about "this is the wrong fight to pick," never ever actually fight for anything. Feel free to ignore them.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I don't know whether people are organizing to resist a fascist government in the only way fascists respect and they just have good opsec or if no one is preparing for that possibility. I fear that it might end up being the only option left, hope that it won't, and worry that no one is ready for it.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

Trans people may be erased from official documents. We might disappear from accepted written history. They might try their best to get rid of us. But we'll still be here despite them. We won't disappear. We will be remembered and known. And we will always exist.

haha. i’m going to die aren’t i

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

I have never been more glad that I own guns than now. Before they were fun and I enjoyed target shooting. Now I feel like they might become the only thing standing between my family and death by a fascist mob.

in 1933, the German Communist Party had a slogan: "after Hitler, us." they figured he'd fuck up so badly that voters would vote for them in the next election. Hitler abolished elections and had all the commies murdered. do you see where I'm going with this

Hey @apnews.com that's not how this works. Trump does not have legal authority to "reduce the size of the federal government," so he can't grant it to Musk. What he's doing is blatantly illegal. Please stop manufacturing consent for this.

Remember when everyone had "Love Wins" stuff everywhere? I feel like a lot of y'all forgot that it was a celebratory headline and not some immutable law of reality. Fascist hate will win if we let it. We can't let it. I think Death said it best, "THERE IS NO JUSTICE. THERE IS JUST US."

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

I'm not suggesting anything but...

If you're not willing to pay for a passport, or buy plane tickets, or lie to the police, or offer your basement as a hiding place, or smuggle people across the border, or put your body on the line, or pick up a gun to defend trans people. You're not an ally. You're an enabler.

psa for these trying times: it’s ok to kick people out of your life if they’re complicit in your own death!

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

"The events from 1933 to 1945 should have been battled in 1928 at the latest. Later was already too late. One must not wait until the fight for liberty is called treason. One must not wait till the snowball has become an avalanche.“"

This is one of the rare cases of a headline that violates Betteridge's Law of Headlines. Obviously, the answer is yes. Anyone with even a token understanding of economics (read: me) knows that tariffs raise prices.

Damn, it's too bad no one ever wrote a book about how horrible the meat industry was in the early 1900s. That would probably be a great read to explain why we need regulations on this kind of thing. Just so unfortunate.

I fucking hate fascists. But at least they are honest about their hatred and disdain. I almost prefer that to the disingenuous bullshit peddled by the Dems who love to claim they're on our side but don't act like it. Either be honest about your priorities or start living up to your claimed ideals.

i will die defending my children if i must, but nothing has ever dispelled my mental illness symptom of wanting to die like the sudden, primal urge to live and to fight like hell for my children.

I won't buy it until they start acting like the Republicans did during the Obama presidency. Say no to everything. Deny every appointment. Vote every bill down. Shut down the government if the Republicans don't give you what you want. Block, delay, and frustrate them at every turn. Then I'll believe

as it’s always been, death before detransition

every news story right now is basically spinning a wheel that lands on “stupid”, “scary”, or “both”

Apropos of nothing I've been thinking about this story a lot today. It explores the idea of quantum immortality. In the story your consciousness is assumed to be eternal (it's compared to the law of conservation of energy) so if something would result in death your mind switches to another universe.

We all know what the EO about 'biological sex' actually means and it signals a bleak future for trans people. At the same time it's hilarious because, by the literal wording, there can only be one gender. Every American is now a woman.

exactly the visuals this administration wants: a sadistic treat for supporters, a fearful deterrent for asylum-seekers

This post seems to imply that social media companies aren't more than happy to give your data to the police. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no. There is not a single social media company that won't hand everything over with, warrant optional. They will gladly throw your ass to the wolves.

The past few years have taken the Democratic party from looking like the Republican opposition (controlled or otherwise) to looking more like these guys

This is a propaganda masterpiece. Tens of millions of people who know nothing about politics will see this & when TiKTok is back Trump will take full credit (& a huge kickback) & no one will care the ban was his idea in the first place. An idea an idiot cadre of elderly Dems went along with. 🤡 💩

Step 1: return to the idea that queer people have no history while aggressively othering us and linking us to pedophilia. Step 2: legally define our existence as inherently sexual. Thus making us sex offenders by simply existing in society. Step 3: arrest and execute us for not being cishet.
