Transphobia is anti-feminist and this needs to be called out more. Transphobia literally supports the patriarchy.
This. Every bit, this. Berlin is not the exception. Berlin is the continuation. Political figures, religious figures, families, schools, the entirety of my lifetime, these people have threatened me and my chosen family.
Tarik Abou-Chadi@tabouchadi.bsky.social · last wk.Being queer means being the target of violence. Every queer person knows this. It's deeply engraved in who we are. We live with it every day of our lives. Not because of terrorism but because it is structurally enshrined in our "free" societies. Violence against queer people is not an exception ...
Die Frau, die sich seit 2 Jahren weigert am Pride Weekend die Flagge der Toleranz an den Bundestag zu hängen soll heute einfach das Maul halten.
Hi @cducsu.de. Do you think you could maybe fly the 🏳️🌈 flag on the Bundestag now? Or is it still too "political"?
An under-the-radar part of the Paramount/Warner Bros merger is that the merged company would be 49.5% owned by the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar. Somehow this hasn't raised the ire of those who most fear Sharia law. prospect.org/2026/07/21/a...
An excellent article on the enshittification of cookware that also has a good „buy instead“ list with both European and US brands (and Tramontina 🇧🇷)

When the deeply disliked obnoxious kid tries to pretend he's with the cool, fun kids and gets completely ignored while they have a great time without him.
"Socialists just want free stuff." I want the stuff our taxes are supposed to pay for. I don't want my hard-earned money disappearing into the pockets of the wealthy. I want education, healthcare, roads, transport, justice and protection. I've fucking paid for it. Give me it.
Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
When appointees can lie during confirmation hearings without consequences, the hearings are worthless. @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
A 10-foot-tall “Iran War Participation Trophy” dedicated to President Trump has popped up on the National Mall, the latest installment by a secret group of artists that criticizes the president. https://wapo.st/4vZXHj7
If the wealthy are "job creators", why are they spending trillions of dollars trying to eliminate as many paying jobs as possible through Al and automation?
BREAKING: Nurses at Mitch McConnell's hospital bedside say they've yelled into his ears, "There's a Black president trying to fill a Supreme Court vacancy!" and he didn't stir at all.
And I say this with my whole chest: The anti-trans movement is not about trans people. It’s certainly not about protecting children It is about legislating conformity It is about restricting bodily autonomy It is about erasing all free expression they find disagreeable —It is about control—
Mother Nature has spoken. She REALLY didn’t want me and my friends to see Lesbian Space Princess under the stars at Sommerkino Kulturforum tonight. Wind, rain, and now it’s been officially cancelled.
Which one of you left the portal to hell open over Berlin? Close the damn thing. Were you born in an U-Bahn station?
One step closer to “shopping” for your baby
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last mo.Scientists have announced the successful use of a next-generation tool to precisely edit human embryos’ DNA, highlighting a major advance in the ability to tweak genes as life takes shape — and fueling the debate over the ethics and safety of “designer babies.”
