I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but could we maybe not do the whole "Trump Always Chickens Out" thing? Goading the worst people in the world seems like a phenomenally dumb thing to do. They don't need extra incentive to be evil and other people will feel the fury first.

Remembering trans man Albert Cashier for Pride, Union soldier during the civil war, was captured, marched a thousand miles without them figuring out his assigned sex at birth, escaped, and went right back to fighting them. Lived the rest of his life as a man. We have always been here.

Bluesky's character count literally isn't long enough for how astonishing and out-of-pocket this woman was, lol. Like, there wasn't even room to add the bit about her being a master fencer who would humble your ass in duels for misgendering her

god fucking dammit

just so you know: if you see a chart about conservative/ Republican vaccine rejection going around and your response is to say "good" or invoke Darwin or whatever eugenicist bullshit, you are a piece-of-shit ghoul, you are literally the problem, and you don't know what side you are on

I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story. A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours. We are in this together and there's only one way out.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

People talk about how much you'd need to slap a turkey to cook it, but has anyone looked into how much you'd need to dragon shout a turkey to cook it? When would it be Fus Ro Done?

anyone else remember when someone from RAINN was scheduled to speak at that anti-trans conference years ago until people noticed and they hurriedly cancelled?

I understand and appreciate the need for such articles/reports but stories like this always frustrate me simply because they're so firmly in "yeah, no shit" territory.

We already missed out on wringing every last drop of usefulness out of this clip during Trump's first term. Let's not miss out on it any further.

This is a despicable hit piece that refuses to introspect about the effect of *genocide itself* on Democrats' electoral loss. The Bulwark's founders helped Trump's rise and ensured Trump's return by demanding Democrats become 2003-era Republicans. Fuck everybody who works there.
