Saw this on Tumblr and I'm bringing it here because I keep seeing whispers of discourse

Hey sports media friends, please be careful not to let sources use your platform to spout lies about trans people, especially trans kids. There are very, very few trans athletes in the U.S., and none of them are particularly dominant.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand, on a programme introduced to address the acknowledged social problem of kids going without food, in many cases because their parents can't afford it:

Apparently the reason the left "always loses" is because some of us are annoying and put people off. The far-right, of course, are a bunch of cool chill guys that are fun and normal 24/7.

🚨 Ya’ll they are trying to effectively “disappear” this trans woman in SoCal who has been targeted by the LA Sheriffs for years. Can we get more support down to the LAX Superior Court? People need to see this.

Annie Jump Vicente (she/her) has given express permission that the footage of her attack is to be shared at tomorrow’s West Hollywood City Council meeting, with or without her. If she is not released upon arraignment tomorrow, activists will share her footage for her.

This was never met. I would appreciate any shares! Part of caring about native women and children is helping us stay safe!

I'm a trans person who lives in Iowa, where the state legislature just voted that trans people have no civil rights. Now would be a nice time to support my #MutualAid or my knitting business to help my trans self survive and maybe flee. ko-fi.com/crippledcomm... 💸💕💰🆙 #TransCrowdfund

Siding with fascism to save marginalized people from fascism seems like a cool way to kill off anyone that would hold you accountable down the line. (Referencing the democrat lady that's openly admitted she's going to vote against trans people. Claiming this is needed to get the dems reelected).

CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. IT'S A SATURDAY. YOU GET TO JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE. SCRIPT I'M USING IS BELOW:

. You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation. Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details. That would fuck up all their shit, man. These people are doing SERIOUS WORK. secured.heritage.org/the-heritage...

Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas & 7 states due to a measles outbreak. Mexico’s Health Secretary describes 106 cases of measles in Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas. www.borderreport.com/news/health/...

Please stop using Substack. It is funding the most vile shit (white nationalism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, just absolutely vile) and they do not give a fuck.

There’s a couple selling swastika jewellery at newton fair. On the vic deals facebook page someone posted about it as a warning to avoid that stall. people are defending the seller and attacking the person who notified everyone. that’s how bad it’s gotten.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

18-year-old Jude on laws banning gender-affirming care: "On the more extreme end, for a lot of kids it's the possibility of severe mental-health struggles and suicidal ideation - but I also think on a smaller scale, kids, because they cannot be themselves, would rather choose to not be anyone."

I worked at 18F once. We would start projects with a discovery sprint where we would come in and talk to users in an agency and listen to what they actually needed and then build it. Totally antithetical to arrogance of DOGE. No wonder they’d destroy it, they want to make it impossible to rebuild

I maintain that the people pushing this rhetoric at transmascs are doing conversion practises and should be treated as such sageanastasi.wordpress.com/2024/11/17/r...

Stop equating patriarchal and queer masculinity challenge. Patriarchal masculinity is celebrated by the patriarchy. Queer masculinity is not.

One day our community will believe us when we tell people that "hey this person has been shitty to/about trans mascs." It never stops at trans mascs, and it is never only just directed at trans mascs, but it shouldn't need to affect more than trans mascs for y'all to give a shit.

As Bryce Canyon’s only permanent biologist, Monahan studied some of the park’s 150-plus species of mammals and birds, made sure park projects complied with federal law and led ranger programs. www.kuer.org/science-envi...

this is getting at something I've been trying to explain for SUCH a long time with this group. it's not that the ideas they bring up are ALWAYS illegitimate or overtly hateful. often they're somewhat uncontroversial legit issues (not always, though). the problem is... that's not WHY they're talking

it's also why I'm incredibly fucking concerned that people with large influence in both trans & tangential cis spaces are not only supporting these people, but actively vouching for them, giving testimonials, including them in academic research as """consultants""", etc.

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks. Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

Getting there. 🪡 #crossstitch

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Get yourself immunized, and immunize your children. This is old, but just as relevant today, if not more so, than when it was first written in 1986:
