Legacy media, it's hard to take you seriously when you tell us that maga screwing over trans folks, women, immigrants & BIPOC is a distraction, but you then boost this shit. Also: stop calling them astronauts. They're rich assholes who bought tickets. No space Nazis. No, SPACE Nazis.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌@chanda.blacksky.app · last yr.A bunch of well-known women participating in a publicity stunt space flight for a billionaire who is censoring the opinion page at his newspaper is NOT FEMINISM or a win for civil rights or whatever the fuck PR the women’s and Black press are reporting as fact
Meanwhile, trans people cannot get visas to enter the US, and anyone can be challenged about their gender based on "visual clues." That's some might fine Nazi work there, Lou.
Sam Greene@samagreene.bsky.social · last yr.This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.
And Ethnic Studies will be anti-white, and Gender Studies will be anti-men, and fill in the blank. We’re being erased, in real time, one marginalized group at a time. Stand up to this shit and stop complying, god damn it.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌@chanda.blacksky.app · last yr.Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.
ICYMI PLEASE LISTEN GOVERNOR JB Pritzker, Illinois Bravo GOVERNOR

Apropos of nothing, you can use this link to, say, file a discrimination complaint against Trump University. Feel free to describe in detail the small size of the former guy's junk. I think this is what he would want us to do.
File a Complaint: Discrimination Form

Peter Sagal@petersagal.bsky.social · last yr.In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, marking the legal end to Jim Crow in the USA. Its Title VI banned discrimination by race among any institution that receives Federal funds. On Friday, the Acting head of the Ed Dept sent out this letter to all 50 states: www.ed.gov/media/docume...
Pro tip for would-be allies: if you write a statement to support trans people, and don't have the guts to mention trans people, then you didn't write a statement to support trans people.
I have not been especially political, as a physicist, in my classroom before--though I have called out bullshit. But I am for sure now, because fuck these fascists. Einstein, Bohr, Meitner, Born, Franck, Frisch, Szilard, Schroedinger, Wigner, von Neumann, Fermi. All left because of fascists.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · last yr.With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/
Also. Two thirds of the people in this picture filled their diapers during the presser.
I may end up in a camp by the end of all this, but at least I lived long enough to see a kid tell tfg to shut the fuck up and that he wasn’t president.
Wait til she hears about transubstantiation.
@baldwin.senate.gov I would do this and I know hundreds of Sconnie scientists, social scientists, artists, writers, and educators who would gladly participate.
Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social · last yr.Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency
Not for the first time I’ve wondered when Riggs is gonna drop a container on that South African asshole.
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · last yr.“the guy you voted for is falling asleep in the corner while a coked up billionaire rambles about why he shut off your medicaid” seems like a layup for Dems
A gentle reminder that you’ve seen this movie before. Last time, it was the Nuremberg Laws. No one should be under any delusion of where this is headed.
Patti Olivier EPSTEIN FILES NEVER FORGET@patti3333.bsky.social · last yr.This HIT IT OUT OF THE SOCCER FIELD As Maddow says(summary not quote) About 1% of any given school is made up of trans gender girls, but the assumption that only 1% of trans girls play sports is incorrect and harmful. Trans girls HAVE THE RIGHT to play sports and to participate 🏳️⚧️⬇️⬇️🏳️⚧️ ALLY

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.
Vet found hanging draped in trans flag

How they treat us is a preview of how they will treat you. Will you help us, or will you wait until they figure out what to sew onto you chest?
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last yr.They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.
This is how they will rip away my healthcare. No doctor would risk getting sued 25 years after treatment. Tell everyone this is happening to us. Allies, we need your voices. Doctors, you need to let people know GAC saves lives.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last yr.Happening now: Montana's Senate Judiciary is hearing a bill that would impose a 25 year statute of limitations on ADULT trans care. It could result in a ban of all trans care in Montana given that physicians would be uninsurable - normal statute for medical care is 2 years. Watch here.
Your god has to be pretty fucking weak if He needs that bronzered buffoon to protect Him.
Being Liberal ®🗽🏳️🌈@beingliberal.bsky.social · last yr.Trump is going to sign an Executive Order making AG Pam Bondi the head of a task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias. Jesus. Christ.
