And what will be deemed anti-Christian? Everything street preachers have yelled for decades: LGBTQIA+ rights. No-Fault Divorce. Birth Control. Abortions. Pàlèstìnìàn's right to LIVE. Free speech. Read @swordsjew.bsky.social 's #wildfaith for a list. Our parents taught us this was always the plan.

My father was radicalized under Reagan. He often told us with pride how R.R. had called on Germany to tear down its wall. I am thinking on that as those who backed RR continue to build walls out of both brick and policy. #Evangelical ideals are always conditional. #christianright #iblp #project2025

A Christianity that gets offended at the idea of a society using its resources to care for one another is a Christianity that has abandoned Jesus a long time ago.

hey #HandsOff protest folks. What do you plan to do this coming week that will bolster your community's defense against neighbors being disappeared by 🧊 and that will help fund or volunteer-staff local orgs who are working to care for our most vulnerable right now? How do you plan to join the work?

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

Many people are deeply resistant to the idea that fascist strategies are in use, bc in their minds (&the mind of Hollywood) 'fascism' is defined not as a set of targeted rule but as 1940s Germany. I don't know how to convey it looks different when the country is much larger and in the age of tech.

I think we can appreciate #corybooker taking a stand without turning him into a hero. Yes, it was an commendable step, plus he broke the record held by a racist yt guy. But be clear on why he did it: "our constituents are asking us" Folks calling, showing at #townhall did this. Keep the pressure on.

Apparently, on Trans Day of Visibility, MTG posted saying trans kids aren't real. In light of this news that we apparently just get dropped into life midgame, I'm curious what y'alls spawn points were. I must have generated in a book shop. #tdov #transdayofvisibility #transrights #lgbtq

Marginalization isn't morally exculpatory. We can be marginalized on one axis (by being trans for example) and do harm on another (say, through whiteness). Ta Nehisi Coates wrote about this in The Message and he's absolutely right.

This was outside the #Kansas state capital today.A Satanic group was barred from their scheduled Black Mass inside the rotonda & this is one of the #nationalists who stood in opposition as they gathered outside.When we tell you they want another Holy War,please believe us🫠 #authoritarian #freespeech

Despite legislators editing rules to target TSG, they still came. Nationalist Xians did, too. Pay attn to the language: "[Slobodnik] praised [xians] referring to them as the Navy Seals of the Catholic faith. He said these activists were willing to confront God’s enemies..as if on a field of battle"

This energy right here.

Watching #lotr extended on streaming vs dvd is great because of the sharper image, but nothing prepared me for Elrond's line: "He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile" followed by "looking for gluten free options that are affordable" Ads. I remember why we moved to dvds.

Constantly worried about the number of people conflating "I / they haven't been targeted yet" with "I am / they are safe" P0tus& Rubiọ have talked about 'public enemies' like #teslatakedown protesters being sent to non-US prisons. #immigration #deportation #project2025 #firsttheycame #wekeepussafe

I hope people realize that Trump is trying to make it illegal to criticize his regime. They are trying to give themselves the ability to spy on, target, and arrest anyone who criticizes them. They want to end freedom of speech in America. Let’s be clear about what they’re doing.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

It seems pretty fucked up that protesting outside car dealerships is turning out to be more effective than protesting at political sites. #teslatakedown is getting more heat then any organized letter or phone call campaign in recent memory. Capitalism is a hell of a drug.

There is no way to fight back that doesn’t challenge ideas like ‘terrorist,’ ‘gang member,’ and ‘criminal.’

Anytime someone says (and firmly believes) that kids are only #trans or #queer because of outside influences, I feel the magnitude of countering intentional misinformation all over again. I was trapped in a #fundie home. The only time we left was to see church people and family. Still knew by age 6.

I am sitting with this quote tonight from @prisonculture.bsky.social thinking about the interconnected of systems and methods of oppression. As kids in fundamentalism, we were regularly taught to both "other" and label "criminal" those who stood in the way of the holy war. It's front & center rn.

Deeply resonating with this level of trust today: "My bottom line is that I can't take people seriously when they romanticize underground work if they can't be bothered with efforts that are risk-free." (Hayes)

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

👉Yes, there will be lawsuits, folks. But this is also the excuse some schools have been looking for to roll out additional c0ps for increased detaines- even if the charges don't hold up later. If you are a student, work with co-strugglers to learn/plan ahead /1 #protest

Comfort #history for this Sunday morn. "In 1973, local people organised an event for the couple to celebrate their 50 years in the village. Museum director Claire Dixon said:"They were known as 'the boys' quite affectionately by the community." #lgbtq #gayhistory #queer www.bbc.com/news/article...

Cis people have been saying that they can't relearn a new name or #gender pronouns because it's too hard / 'not the original' Yet these same folks are out here already talking about the ' #Gulf of America.' I'm not sure how to explain that neighbors are a higher priority than a body of water #trans
