voters across the country voted for several ballot measures that amount to "torture trans children", absolute shame on the democratic party leadership for abandoning our community and allowing this

HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

For all that I made sure I never missed a single episode of TNG growing up, this is the image that stuck the most with me

thought for bit about what picard clip to post in tribute and obviously everyone will be posting many fantastic speeches and big acting moments but i want to go the other way. a good actor can do there are four lights. but it takes a great actor to land this

One of my favorite Patrick Stewart roles is always going to be his voice acting on American Dad as Avery Bullock (with some of the most outlandish and ridiculous deliveries of the series), but I also just adore this self-aware direct address gag with him playing himself. I’m gonna miss him too much.

Oh come the fuck on, ANYONE else

The urge to say this every time someone asks me to do something I don't want to do is almost impossible to resist @othatsraspberry.com

Name a piece of comic art that occasionally wanders into your head unannounced and makes you smile. #comics

Is it a problem when a large scale left wing donor has demonstrably conservative politics? Is that maybe an issue for a two party system?

Jason Turkish, a Democratic mega donor, described his decision to back Republican Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed as "putting country before party."

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Eric Bauza was a generational talent, champion for the art form, animation community leader, and an incredibly sweet guy. RIP

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Gutting. Such a loss for animation, for acting, for talent.

The refusal to even put her in a male ward should really illustrate to cis people that even if sex was binary and immutable (which it is not), what GCs and other transphobes want is not about strictly adhering to one's assign sex at birth. It's about wanting trans people to die in isolation.

The people telling you transphobia is a winning position are lying to you in order to lead you into Hell.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state." He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...

All these internet blowhards are mad at me for selling out an oppressed minority group, no matter how many times I explain CALMLY that it was convent for me to do so!

blues: we are going to move right on trans issues because we have judged the votes of trans voters to be worthless some trans ppl: because our votes are worthless, we will not vote blues: what the fuck? you better provide your worthless votes or we all get screwed

there's a teaser trailer and everything youtube.com/watch?v=GGJSRFWALTI&feature=youtu.be

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."

master 🥺 why are you 🥺 yelling at me 🥺🥺🥺

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

We cannot have good things. A triad spinoff was pitched but shot down

"I already boycott The New York Times/don't have a subscription, what can I do?" A lot! You can: * Share our call for boycott. Tell others about the NYT's role in trans genocide * Stop sharing NYT links, even to dunk on them * Pressure the pension/retirement funds invested in the NYT to divest

Trans News Network@transnews.network · 3mo ago

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.
