If someone asks “what rights don’t trans people have?” you can point out that it is essentially legal to kill trans people. This case was a woman who was murdered, and the killer was convicted, but the conviction was overturned because the victim was trans. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 2mo ago

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

Hey y'all! I am getting FFS at the end of August and made a GoFundMe to try and help cover part of the costs. If you could share this around or if you are able to donate, I'd greatly appreciate it. ❤️ gofund.me/63fe713c5

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Two new ICE killings this week and they aren’t even bothering to claim a legitimate reason for using deadly force. This is homicide as policy.

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 3mo ago

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

Don’t lie. This was your first thought too, right?

well, as long as he was funny and polite with it, who cares if he was a fascist/enabling fascism, amirite

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3mo ago

What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

The death of physical media is dystopian. It means, at the whim of a random executive, art can just be deleted forever with unauthorized copies made illegal. I did a 20 episode Henson series for Disney+ called Earth to Ned. Over a year of beautiful artistry: deleted. Gone. This SUCKS.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 4mo ago

1. On Tuesday and with Trump's backing, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino won a competitive New York House primary—and likely a seat in Congress—after running on "aggressively detransitioning America." His extreme rhetoric must be a warning to us all.

It’s important on Juneteenth to remain aware that we live in a country driven by various degrees of unjust human exploitation & our economy that we call American capitalism relies on legal loopholes that permit slavery & the threat of homelessness, which can be punished with enslavement, to function

A new Louisiana law could subject unhoused people to fines, jail time, or even unpaid labor if they are found sleeping outdoors. The National Homelessness Law Center says it is “one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country.” https://bit.ly/4ed9gNN

Newsom spent the last year working to prove he's an across-the-aisle guy who can work with — and befriend — even fascists. This is what it got him. This is why you don't associate with them in any capacity whatsoever.

What waking up every day feels like

Feel as though people will truly never understand his death. He was killed for being an Indigenous Queer Man with a Transgender Partner. Every single one of those signifiers on axis/intersections/marginalizations is extremely important, but it is in tandem all at once not just because he “Gay”.

I recently acquired this classic Videodrome-esque CRT with a bulbous curved screen and booted up my SNES on it, and I was floored at how crisp all the colors and pixel art looked on it. Genuinely the only proper way to experience those games, and it pained me to not be able to properly capture it.

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.
