I talk about this occasionally (after seeing @absurdistwords.bsky.social talk about it several years ago - credit where it's due). The far right spent the past 45(+) years coalition building between groups that DESPISE each other. Evangelicals, right wing Catholics, Mormons, billionaires... 1/

No judicial warrant (signed by an actual judge, not an officer) = no reason whatsoever to let ICE into a private space. Pass it on.

This was a great short read, and a hopeful reminder that we've always been here, will always be here, and that we should be here to lift each other up. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They want us to hate each other... Do you understand that? Hate is weak, hate is exhausting, hate is demoralizing. Hate is alienating. The more you give into hate, the more you fit into the exact place they want you to be for manipulation and control.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

I don't have many Alaskans on here, but if you think for one minute these absolute assholes think about you and your dependence on the USPS when they've been living in DC for decades, you're wrong. Remember all the places that won't ship to Alaska and CALL.

Federal judges are regarding Trump’s executive orders targeting transgender people with skepticism and, in some instances, outright disdain. Four judges — a Reagan appointee, a Clinton appointee and two judges appointed by Biden — have temporarily paused enforcement of Trump's anti-trans policies

I was nervous about correcting people who misgender me at work for a hot minute. But baby I'm too fabulous to be called "sir"

I try to remember my mask selfie when I go in to the office because the pandemic isn't over. But I also try to make sure I get a pre-mask picture, because even though half of it gets rubbed off by the mask, I look good 😊

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

To explain the minimal nutrition... I have severe anxiety about using the bathroom at my office because I live in Georgia and there is no designated single occupant or gender neutral bathroom there. So I make sure I don't. Everything except the coffee was consumed after 3:30 PM

TFW you realize the AI in The Matrix didn't turn human being into batteries because it saw humans as a threat or out of self-preservation, but as a pragmatic way to meet the energy needs required to produce big tiddie FB posts at scale.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.
