This is how i responded to @bsky.app:

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

Democrats are out with messaging that the Republicans didn’t play fair, which, first of all, grow the fuck up, and, second of all, Republicans just voted to kill Americans by stripping them of healthcare and food. Maybe talk about that. People will die because of the Medicaid and SNAP cuts.

"Don't get distracted by the government disappearing and dehumanizing trans people. That's a deliberate strategy to distract and overwhelm you" is how some of you sound lately

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

Bet the other lobsters aren't dicks to him

oh am I feminine well look at this third row of seats bitch

I don't know how to be more clear. Stop listening to people who are telling us to "pick our battles." This is the fucking battle. It's here now. Each one of these acts is an attack in that battle. Either get in the fight or get the fuck out of our way.

With all due respect, you're a United States Senator and that's a rent-a-cop from a private security firm with no authority to stop you. You can't just take no for an answer here.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

people say “just stop doomscrolling” like we’re not literally live-streaming the series finale of american democracy

The silence from the women’s sports community and its athletes regarding the EO banning trans women’s and girls from women’s sports? It’s deafening.

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.

The only endgame for this is Elon Musk in shackles or the U.S. government ceasing to exist as we know it.

Rep. Pressley: Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby

AMERICANS: a group of unauthorized thugs are raiding the treasury SCHUMER: then I will have to pass a law AMERICANS: it’s already illegal and you are a sitting senator SCHUMER: a law I shall do AMERICANS: at least filibuster everything until this stops SCHUMER: law time

Thousands of people tonight in NYC about to march to NYU Langone Hospital, which has decided to preemptively comply with Trump’s executive order prohibiting health care for trans youth.

What we think of NYU Langone abandoning it’s responsibility to its younger trans patients

It's extremely hard to be trans or disabled right now because so many people are willing to say to your face "you don't matter enough to alter my politics".

Yes!

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Leadership Dems: We are looking forward to working together with our honored colleagues across the aisle Leftists: Oh u mean you're collaborating? Leadership Dems: No, that's not fair we're also capitulating

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Doing your taxes hits different when you know the money you're paying your government is going to be used to exterminate you.

nothing will ever erase the trauma of watching all this news break while hearing crickets from most people in my life

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

they want all trans people to detransition or die and everyone who led us to this point has every last bit of that blood on their hands

What we have instead of an opposition party is a copy of Robert's Rules of Order that has learned how to do GoFundMes and insider trading

Motherfuckers, I have a trans kid! What the fuck issues do you think reach MY kitchen table?

There is no such thing as a good billionaire deadline.com/2024/08/opra...

A lot of Gen X libs watched too much South Park and have decided that saying “things are bad and everything is pointless” is a worthwhile beginning point and end point of their politics and I simply do not agree

ppl aren’t flipping her off. how dare you be so presumptuous? those are ‘awkward hand gestures’. you can’t know what’s in a person’s heart.

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

it's truly insane how every single trans person i know is like making plans to escape for their lives and/or [redacted] and transphobic harassment has gotten noticeably worse since like november meanwhile every cis person in my life, with few exceptions, is just living their lives like it's normal
