I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

And there's going to be a lot of sketchy-to-blatantly unconstitutional orders coming in the next year.

We can learn so much from disability history and the disability justice movement.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

It’s my 12 tranniversary today. That means I’ve spent more of my adult life on estrogen than without it. It’s weird to feel more scared about my future now than I did back then. But, I’m not going anywhere. I worked too damn hard to become the person I am.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up took $80 million from an NYC bank account!

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

not really. most of what Tp has done through his career has been illegal but not punished; Tp is above the law, as we have seen. anyone else would have been prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated long ago.

Musk knows less about writing code and data structures than a first year PhD student in bioinformatics teaching themself Bash, R, and Python.

Who would have guessed that siphoning off the balance sheets of hospitals to buy some private equity douchebags more yachts and Congressmen would result in a drop in patient care?

They really want to force young white women out of the workforce. And it is wild to watch conservative white women stump for their own subjugation. Because when they are not longer useful they will find out the cage isn't even gilded

Eugenics against disabled people are ramping up, it’s BAD, we will die VERY QUICKLY. What you’re doing RIGHT NOW is what you’d have done “back then”. We NEED nondisabled people to speak up, to act up, to do SOMETHING, because your voices & actions always carry more weight in our ableist society.

Can we just shove a certain loud mouthed bootlicker trans woman back her glass closet and lock the door? She’s such a waste of oxygen.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

The idea that they’re “dissolving” a congressionally-created, cabinet-level department that’s existed on its own for 45 years, and within the cabinet for 70 years, on the say so the president, an unelected billionaire, and like 3 racist code-monkeys is…well, fucking insan

Let’s be honest here The “return to office” obsession that’s happening is because US capitalism is a high-control cult. They want people monitored for dissension and to ensure as much energy is wrung from them as possible. An exhausted, burned out working class is less likely to revolt

SCOOP: Texas State Law Library has removed public access to their LGBT Law name/gender marker change information page. This is especially concerning as there are already limited resources for options trans people from Texas have for changing documents. Texas ignores gender change court orders.

If you don't understand the powers and procedures available to the party in minority by which they can stymie the agenda of the party in majority, please don't come to me making it my problem. Like, your basic failure to learn from very recent history is neither my fault nor my responsibility.

Conservatives about trans people just existing as teachers, academics, etc: “Burn them all!! ROOT OUT THE EVIL INDOCTRINATORS” Conservatives about a federal employee with long history of posting violent racist shit: “ZOMG cancel culture, let’s not be too hasty, what if he’s good at his job?”
