biggest blackpill of the past few years for me was realizing that all the cis normie progressives fell for the misinformation campaign instantly. they didn't even realize it was happening because they had never been exposed to any other framing on trans issues

The most maddening thing about the Sensible Moderate Approach to trans rights is that there is (purposefully, imo) no acknowledgement of sheer volume of hateful disinformation propagated about trans people daily. We face this from religious extremists to billionaires to obsessive journalists.

HRT works and we should say it✨

While I think the culture of Bsky is definitely pro human rights, I am extremely skeptical of calling it “pro-trans” on an institutional level, as long As Aaron “Trust Nor Safety” Rodericks is still on the payroll

aight the libout is over. impeachment by next spring or im gonna frame hakeem jeffries for jan 6

cis women voting for sexual assault for their cis and trans daughters to access female sports is going to bring back a forgotten classic of feminist analysis: the ways in which mothers oppress and control their daughters

the major next battle is now ensuring that chuck schumer and hakeem jefferies do not lead the democratic party going forward

somehow I doubt the New York Times will be running any articles about how a sizable chunk of right-wing influencers were in a media bubble that told them memes about Anakin Skywalker and gender-bent Draco Malfoy would guarantee them a permanent political majority.

Stability for any large group of people is an affront to capitalists and makes exploitation harder. They will try to turn everyone into renters scraping by week to week. by making sure they take dying people’s property and by making it more difficult for anyone to own a home or anything at all

Local developer raises HOA fees a whopping 1400% over 5 years. Now at $90k a year. He owns most of the homes in development, rents them. The minority of resident homeowners have no real legal recourse. www.wsoctv.com/news/local/f...

People who mock socialist book clubs want to build something without understanding what they are building, how they want to build it, and why we have failed to build it previously (with deadly consequences). They want you to walk yourself and your movement to an early death propelled by ignorance.

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

However bad you believe the Big Papers have failed The People, it's even worse than that. Nope. Worse than that.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Holy shit. This clip edits out the very next thing he says:

yeah man sorry if “we want to bathe in the blood of your poor trans friends” takes hold in the Democratic Party it would legitimately be worse than the GOP holding that seat. hope you lose, asshole.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w ago

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Goddamn did I need to hear someone with actual influence and power say this right now

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

cis people don't get to have opinions about trans bodies

Waymo is cops. It's a remote control car data scraper and surveillance system pretending to be a cab. The secondary revenue stream is you paying for a ride. The main source is selling data. And they're dangerous as hell. I'm always amazed how many people are unwilling to see that shit.
