“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

the ‘we had to abandon trans people to preserve funding’ thing is so funny to me. yeah man i’m sure Goebbels von Ethnostate will be persuaded to maintain PrEP funding by your complete and utter capitulation

The very simple fact is that if those high ranking military officers were white/men they would not have been fired. This is the essence of racism and sexism: The belief that form determines function.

Hegseth's tattoos got a lot of attention, but of course he denied they were racist. What probably should have gotten more attention: He belongs to a church that teaches slavery was the pinnacle of race relations. dougwilsonbelieves.com/beliefs/sout...

Basically, i think surveys dont work for understanding anything and the overreliance on stem education has broken everyone’s brain by subordinating intuition and judgment to shallowly interpreted data

very fun to to hear liberals complain about ‘purity tests’ and as a trans person knowing the test is ‘do you want to kill me and all my friends’

I voted for her both times, and have been donating to blue/Dem organizations for years. I'm queer, neurovodergent to the point of disability, and absolutely terrified. Social Security and Medical/Medicare are how I survive. In my case, it really is now or never. #SaveSocialSecurity

We need a sequel where we stamp out the GOP and initiate a supernova of federal spending @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

Latest batch of firings is getting close to family, and in all the scary, enraging, horrifying, inhumane things it's managing to stick out even though I saw this coming a mile away. Spitting on everything generations of my family have worked for to claim a tiny bit of the country that enslaved us.

He’s going to run for President so we need to preemptively torpedo him like we did with Bloomberg

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

As a filthy dirty rotten Yank, I appreciate Chantal singing 'O Canada' in the manner of a soloist singing 'The Star Spangled Banner' as she changed the words. Message received, ma'am.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

I typically call to tell them what I think about what they're doing, and to tell them what I want them to do. Like "You voted for Rubio and the next day he announced a trans passport ban. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY TRUMP NOMINEE OR BILL EVER AGAIN." I don't have much luck asking where they stand...

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

I think calling things "Nazi" has negligible power to stop those things. Using "Nazi" as a slur relied, back in the day, on our own nationalism & xenophobia. Since the war, the right called the left "nazis" for a half-century, & the left called the right "fascists" in return.

Plutocracy is supported by a mix of the evil, people who don't comprehend the possible effects of evil, people who have no expectation of people not being evil, & those who expect each person to be equally evil.
