I followed the US Dept of Labor on here last year when it was posting useful pro-worker info and education. It’s so sad to see the account coopted into just another mouthpiece for the administration’s white supremacist, fascist rhetoric.

All I’m saying is The Powerpuff girls are made from sugar, spice, and everything nice plus some random ass chemical X and nobody tells them they’re not allowed to use the ladies bathroom. They’re biologically a sentient breakfast cereal but SURE act like I’m the problem.

This article just chilled me to my bones, immediately after leaving a show on a country-wide, 50 state, all-trans comedy tour, where I got to do a guest set in front of a very queer audience. It was beautiful. Please read this article, because we need to understand what's happening in DC,

The thing that disturbs me most about DC isn't the military pageantry or even the bursts of federal violence. It's the emptiness. The strange, dead silence. People should not be afraid to come to America's capital, see the sights, and have dinner afterwards They didn't used to be. They are now.

If you're wondering why people are going in hard against Newsom, it's to give you the most notice possible. They are telling you in 2025 that a Newsom run in 2028 will fail. This is information. If your response to this information is to wail about purity tests, you are not prepared for the moment

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

“States are creating pharmaceutical stockpiles, climate agreements, immigration policies. […] They’re building functioning governmental systems that operate independently of federal authority. […] The federal government becomes a hollow structure that states have a moral impreative to ignore.”

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

Consultants are obsessed with reminding candidates not to talk about trans people or include us in any way in their campaigns, never mind using awkward-ass linguistic constructions like this, meanwhile my reps have never once mentioned I exist even when opposing bills that directly threaten my life.

i consume an extraordinary amount of political content and i have never seen someone in elected office use the term "birthing people"

listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

We’re 3 years out from the next election. Why the FUCK are all the Resistor libs already insisting we lie back and take an anti-trans candidate when they could be using that energy over the next 2 years to pressure democratic leaders to do fucking better?

This is why it makes me laugh when ever Bluesky opens the suggestion box with posts "what would you like to see fellow friends?" FUCK. YOU. We wanna see this shit not happening. Trans and Black and disabled people and sex workers and all the queers made this place cool and the bsky team hates them

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
