a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time
Mx Maddison Stoff@thedescenters.bsky.social · 2h agoThis woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo...

![[Panel 1:] Lyon gazes at his phone, forlorn and cast in blue light, as a small(ish) Fomortiis looms over his shoulder.
Fomortiis: "You haven't reached the end of your feed yet, Lyon... / ...what a pity it would be if Eirika posted and you never Liked it...."
[Panel 2:] Slightly closer frame; Lyon stares more closely and intensely at his phone with comically wide eyes and a huge frown. Fomortiis looms larger, closer, his claw on Lyon's shoulder.
Fomortiis: "What will Ephraim think of you if you don't stream your reaction to this, Lyon...?"
[Panel 3:] Close frame as Fomortiis is even bigger and literally breathing down Lyon's neck, his visible eye gleaming menacingly. Lyon looks desperately stressed out, sweating, deep shadows under his bugged-out eyes, in which the rectangular reflection of his phone screen is visible.
Fomortiis: "LYON ONLY 24 HOURS REMAIN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS *EXCLUSIVE OFFER—*"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htogemxiiopihcc4qgmiwkaf/bafkreibp6xrdzwyykoojlgmyln7vnk2zc4ww6q7nrq7vmxmflfma2xka4a)
![Script for calling senators, August 4, 2026:
Hi! I’m a constituent of Senator [name], and I have two things that I want the senator to know.
First, Trump has nominated Adam Candeub for the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. I would like the senator to vote against his appointment. Among other things, he wants to bring back anti-obscenity laws like the Comstock Act.
Second, KOSA and the SCREEN Act are scheduled to go before the Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow. Whether or not it makes it out of committee, I would like the senator to vote against these bills. They do not protect children, but instead age-gate the Internet, violate our privacy, and put our personal information at risk.
[staff may ask for your address or zip code]
[staff may ask if you have anything else you want to say]
That’s all I wanted to say today.
[staff will likely say they will pass along your message]
Thanks, have a great day!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e2wk7ytsyd5kkoajilglbq5f/bafkreiaglu6h2oss54lfrc34jk6ddkn6deahqcimcgxucrcpbwadbhkjiu)
