This is my perspective when I hear transphobes mention stuff like "You couldn't live with yourself, why do you want me to". It's wrong, the cause of my distress wasn't within me, it was in knowing transitioning meant conflict with certain people I cared for.

every single suicidal trans person I know is suicidal because society does everything in its power to show them that them not existing is preferred over them being trans.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

It's honestly disgusting how blatant and shameless this inversion of reality is. In the rare case that a parent is supportive of their trans child, it is to be labeled as abuse, while attempted conversion therapy and denial of bodily autonomy to trans children is to be a normalized form of torture.

May I perhaps introduce you to the entire media campaign against trans people?

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

i’ve noticed a radical return of the term “illegal alien” and “alien” in political language recently this is intentionally dehumanising language. it seeks to depict particular groups of people as non-humans, and thus undeserving of human rights call it out when you see it

Colombia capitulated and had their funding frozen. Harvard resisted and got their funding frozen. If the punishment for resisting is the same as the "reward" for bowing down, that makes the choice pretty simple. Columbia did irreversible damage to their reputation, and the reward was no funding.

6 days till martial law, can't wait...

In less than 3 months, the Trump regime: - Centralized all the government’s information on you - Claims the right to deport legal residents—including citizens—without due process - Has kidnapped and jailed people for their expressed beliefs - Forced opposition lawyers to “bend the knee”

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

There’s an awful NYT article about ADHD going around. I’m not going to signal boost it, but I want to say one thing: Raising the specter of “addiction” with regard to people with ADHD using stimulants always makes me laugh. Most of us have trouble even remembering to take and refill our medications.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

The Korean parliament vowed to impeach their president EVERY WEEK until his party either stopped protecting him or the guy resigned in disgrace. No other business could proceed until they got rid of the attempted dictator.

1. Planned Parenthood of Arizona has "paused" gender affirming care for transgender adults. It appears to be a case of massive over compliance. This kind of move could threaten the majority of trans people's medication in the US. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

You’re allowed to be both tired AND hopeful. Discouraged AND determined. The world is complicated and so are you.

I want you all to understand that I say this with no hyperbole or exaggeration, Streeting alongside Cass should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

This is really illustrative of the paradigms currently locked in battle. Being asked to justify your existence by someone that's never even taken a second to question theirs.

It’s such a wildly contradictory statement to say able-bodied people shouldn’t be on Medicaid while also demanding they meet work requirements to stay on Medicaid.

It’s only a reasonable debate when both people know what they’re talking about and argue in good faith. Two quantum physicists debating Copenhagen vs. Many-Worlds is a debate. A physicist arguing with a flat-Earther who flunked high school is not, it’s an insult to the spirit of debate.

1. Major ruling: A federal court has ruled, for now, that Trump cannot take away school lunch money from hungry kids over trans students. This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Further proof that letting Texas write laws and school books for the entire nation is and always was a bad idea, in case you somehow weren’t already convinced by the decades of nonsense.

Red's 19, and a 30-year-old turd is trying to ruin her life in exchange for a $5000 cash prize from fascists. Said turd competed in mixed-gender competitions without issue, but took exception to Red, because taking an unprincipled knee to vilify a scapegoated population is lucrative right now.
