i will keep saying that cis people will simply ignore any law they feel like until everyone is forced to stop pretending "sanctuary" states have been doing anything other than corporate marketing. they'll ignore the rest of the law too, just give them time 🏳️⚧️

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · yesterdayPOLITICAL RETRIBUTION Federal agents raided Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC home this morning. A sitting member of Congress who has repeatedly been targeted by Trump, now facing a federal investigation over immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. A CHILD.
THE "JUNK DATA" THAT THE FAKE COLONEL WAS TALKING ABOUT WASN'T ACTUALLY JUNK IT WAS FREE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS THAT THE PATRIOTS WANTED TO SUPPRESS TO ENSURE THAT AMERICAN HEGEMONY WOULD REIGN EVEN OVER THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB IT'S NOT ABOUT THERE BEING RANDOM SHIT ONLINE RAAAAAAAAAAAA

The way this rhymes with anti-immigrant narratives isn't a coincidence; patriarchy is a social technology oriented around reproduction, both of hegemonic demographics and hegemonic values. Conservative calls to violence are always bolstered by a presumed threat against "their" "women".
In the transphobic narrative gender-conservatives traffick in, the transfeminine spectre is a rapacious other while the transmasculine is a corrupted innocence. The dehumanization of both is distinct but linked; transmasculine people are regendered as a patriarchal resource to be protected.
In contrast, transmasculine people are infantilized to strip them of agency, positioning them as reproductive and gestational resources who are being seduced, appropriated, "stolen" and led astray by the sinister [implicitly-male, implicitly transfeminine, implicitly violating] "trans agenda".
One of the reasons for this is that the rhetorical figure of the trans child is never transfeminine. The trans girl is not a figure in the conservative lexicon because the transfeminine is a grotesquerie positioned always as a sexual threat to "real girls", and thus always adultified.
Evan Urquhart@evanurquhart.bsky.social · 21h agoWe still don't talk about the way medically transitioning trans boys and transmasc nonbinary kids are the primary focus of the moral panic over trans kids.
The insane reactions to this cement for me that heterosexual women are not our allies despite how much they act like they are the center of feminism and queer liberation is just an offshoot of their work. They raise and date and vote for patriarchal men while beating their queer children
She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.
Mark Garner@markgarner.bsky.social · yesterdayAnother reason to be thankful, on this Canadian Thanksgiving, that I'm north of the border. It would perhaps be edifying, however, to inquire exactly where the fuck the Democratic Congressional "Leadership" is. Oh, wait, silly me, she's Muslim so they won't lift a finger to help her.
Nixon resigned for secretly breaking into the opposition's office. Now you can break into the opposition's home openly.

Ilhan Omar is my representative and she fights so hard for us. Represents us well in DC, constantly present in the district, uses her sway to support other politicians, extremely responsive when people need help. The absolute model of an Congressperson. So many of us are ready to stand with her
This is outrageous, despotic shit and everyone who played a role in it should lose their place in polite society. Show us the warrant. Who asked for it? What did they claim? Have there been grand jury proceedings? Who was in charge? And what judge, if any, signed off on the search warrant?

the reality is that other people are INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to get along with and no political system is going to make up for that yfm, like im not saying everything will be absolutely perfect under communism. the point is that the system will prioritize people over capital, which matters!

interesting, ive never read sartre's own explanation: i took it to mean a secret third thing, which is that we are stuck with each other, but we are all we've got, and no self-serving trickery will get us out of this situation

Your regular reminder that in 2023 I was asked on Women’s Hour to be interviewed by Emma Barnett about Alice’s inquest. I said no, because Emma is GC, but I’d go on with someone else. They didn’t engage with me after that. The BBC is biased. It’s anti-trans and anti-anyone who supports trans people.
