Things should simply be better. The future should simply be good.

1,120 people were abducted by immigration authorities over 6 days in Florida. “Dozens of local, state + fed agencies participated – including over 250 members of local + state law enforcement + the National Guard.” What’s that saying about ‘all cops,’ again? www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

i wish tremendous harm on many people

This, from a woman in Oklahoma talking to her local news station, is better than the vast majority of political speeches you'll hear today.

Iconic. Waited for his character to die and that check to clear.

mug that says "don't talk to me before i've had my comeuppance"

There is no normal, righteous or good way of removing someone from a country. Borders kill. Inevitably.

Noooooo don't use the same label for LIBERAL state violence that you use for FASCIST state violence noooooooo our state violence is legitimate and good while theirs is baaaaaaaaad

This fixation on defining "deportation" as the 'normal', 'sane', 'business-as-usual' state of affairs, refusing to see how the violence endemic to the enforcement of borders leads inexorably to the current political climate, is once more the death knell of liberal attempts at consciousness-raising.

Effective May 10, NOAA is gone. NOAA protects food systems, disaster preparation and public health, clean air and portable water When NOAA dies, parts if civil society dies. This is just brutal. We, as a society, are going to suffer incredibly.

There’s significant overlap between those who judge the disabled for being sick & blame the unhoused for being poor. People believe it will never happen to them. That they can “try harder” their way out. The reality is homelessness & disability can happen to anyone and often occur together

I'm terribly sorry, but the actual ruling allows for both trans women and trans men to be excluded, using sex-essentialism for women and referring to "male characteristics" for men. Consistency is not a goal, the goal is to empower cis people to harass and exclude trans people. They don't care.

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

Protect trans kids. Fuck your hogwarts house bullshit. (Stolen from a discord community, no origin given)

Not having in-unit washer/dryer is gonna make me riot

Trump is precisely the result of America’s history. This is what our history has led to. Like quite literally. If our history and institutions and economic and political system couldn’t produce Trump and enable his actions they wouldn’t have. They did. Twice.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

:)

making fun of adults who build their entire personality around a dated children's series created by a flagrant bigot: cultural vandalism leveraging the success of a few children's books you wrote 30 years ago to wage war against literal children: unfortunate but not a deal breaker

Since this point is going to be made a lot these days I really need cis commentators to ask themselves for a second why there are only single digit trans high school athletes in an entire state.

Gonna crash out

Rowling, like Musk, demonstrates why the ultra-wealthy cannot be allowed to be so: because they use their wealth to buy the world they want to live in

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

When deportations ramped up in the UK people formed anti raids groups which made this a consistent pattern and it's really effective. Immigration enforcement depends on the consent and complicity of communities allowing it to happen. It can't happen when people refuse them to steal your neighbours.

GIGANTIC YELLOW WARNING: we don't serve transsexuals. HAPPY REGULAR WEBSITE: care. no matter what. can't make this shit up man

Protect your neighbors from these Gestapo thugs. Fuck ICE.

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:

lemme tell you i study fascism for a living and this one got me staring at the screen gobsmacked for a good five minutes

Thank you for reaching out to the Dudes Rock hall of fame. At this time we must reject your application for Dudes Who Rocked Status be conferred on Louis Slotin. While it's unquestionably Dude to prop a half-sphere of plutonium open with a screwdriver, there's nothing Rocking about what came after

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

Trans woman made into national spectacle for participating in mixed gender sport, then removed from her school's fencing team, then scrubbed from the historical record.

if only anyone had said this for years

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

I want you all to look at this conclusion in the fucking eye, next to the actual things said by the trans women interviewed. From the repeated testimony that trans women have no family support, are unhirable, and need to both survive and pay for transition care, the researchers concluded THIS.

I love my Seikret and my Palico.

Only a few people really get the opportunity to speak truth directly to the faces of people in power and almost none of them take the opportunity. these people are heroes in my book.
