It's vital to understand that the conservative obsession with calling their political adversaries groomers, rapists and pedophiles while simultaneously protecting sexual offenders in their own party isn't a contradiction, but the result of an ideology that views rape as a crime of property damage.

this is one of my all time favorite tweets and if you'll forgive me being a serious tennis nerd about it for a second, tennis is one of those sports where it's really difficult to overstate how many levels there are between you and the pros (mini thread)

And AIPAC's specific move—of stating that criticism of their political spending is actually an attack on all American Jews—is extremely dangerous, because it explicitly aims to make American Jews as a whole responsible for whatever AIPAC does.

If you spend tens of millions of dollars propping up a candidate specifically because she supports a genocide you also support and her leading opponent doesn't, you can't go all uwu smol bean when people criticize you!

I wish things were different too. I wish people had better options. I wish the worst people on earth did not have control over the last few fleeting things that bring us joy.

The NYT is bigoted and rotten overall. There are still worthy portions and skilled people working there. But pointing out the rot shouldn't be something folks are silenced over.

Because it seems like the rule is "Don't say anything that may cause a person of privilege to feel embarrassed." That's not sustainable.

What are the rules here? If I quote a white person advertising a Substack and lament the fact that white people do not care that the organization aids and platforms white supremacists, will I be suspended too?

What happened is that she quoted him to point out a common thing that cis people do and stated how much trans people are dismayed by it and wish things were different.

I cannot stress how absolutely mild her comment was. She did not attack him. She didn't even request he change his behavior. She even quoted him instead of addressing him directly.

If Jennings is the ally he claims to be, he would use his celebrity and privilege to get this lady her account back.

Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.

biggest tell to me that big tech *wants* this shit is that they're not beating the drum to oppose this shit like they did back in the day with SOPA

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

Dr. Abdul El Sayed explaining to the Detroit Free Press that he believes military assistance to Ukraine is consistent with international law and therefore qualitatively different from military assistance to Israel and Egypt.

Leon English@leonenglish.bsky.social · 3d ago

And here he is staring pretty unequivocally that he sees aid to Ukraine as different from aid to Israel (or Egypt), so please update your priors or fuck off with claims to the contrary.

Israel and Judaism are not at all equivalent but israel does everything it can to conflate the two because that gives it a built in excuse to say any critique of its behavior is merely bigotry. It’s a much more powerful version of “they hate us because they hate freedom”. It’s nonsense

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

I say this all the time, but one of my clearest takeaways from reading a different ICE murder victim’s story every day of Lent is that every single employee of Geo Group belongs in The Hague

Adams County, CO health officials are investigating active cases of tuberculosis at the Aurora detention center but GEO facility hasn’t complied with a public health order requiring access. It is illegal under CO law to “willfully violate” a public health order. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/31/t...

It sounds insane to type that out but it's literal state's evidence

Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 3mo ago

all of contemporary transphobia feels so manufactured and fake and it's hard to explain how and why to people who haven't felt it happen at them but like people used to not like Really Care; there were shitty people but like no one built their life around being transphobic

I was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

Fatima Ameaka followed all the rules and she still got scooped on a domestic flight, caged, shipped to another cage, and then released with a promise of trial. The labyrinthine paperwork system is already cruel, now it's punctuated with random kidnappings.
