compared to the bleak trough we have reached as concerns civil rights for trans Americans because of the Heritage Foundation and their water boy Trump, he is absolutely correct. we DID have transgender for everybody. i hope soon we will have transgender for everybody again. 🏳️⚧️

hey so the price of food is literally not sustainable. i plan every grocery purchase and week after week i buy LESS and pay the same if not more. wtf are we supposed to do 😭
I’m only going to say this once. Americans who eat meat get more than enough protein from their normal diet. You do not need to add more on purpose. Or to be healthier or to lose weight. It’s a marketing scam. If you’re worried about protein intake, worry about the developing world, not yourself.
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
Hey yall things are pretty fucked this month and I need help. So anything helps. Boosts appreciated. Goal is $100.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

in the middle of all this, just because i thought some people might not know, groups like "Trans Widows' Voices" are not actually for any real widows. they're all larping that their partners died because they transitioned. isn't that nauseatingly ghoulish?
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 5d ago4. Rowling posted: “Should any of the women’s organisations targeted by AmnestyUK’s recent ‘anti-rights’ blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women’s Fund.” That fund is a private war chest she launched in May 2025, backed by an immense personal fortune.
1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The organization has stood up to dictators and death squads, but Rowling and the UK's anti-speech laws were apparently too much.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 6d agoBen Shapiro spends his entire show mocking the WNBA and its players. Including a montage his team put together of missed shots at the All-Star game which he laughs at. It's incredible how much transphobia can just let you be an open misogynist.
