Lady Ru’etha’s Puppet

We've gone from "go Birds" to gay birds.

This is the way.

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer:
1) boasts about the poor place he’s from;
2) boosts the value of agriculture;
3) celebrates small town life;
4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and
5) promotes marriage.

And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

I did not have “David Copperfield was SA /pedophile Frenemies with Jeffrey Epstein” on my 2026 bingo card.

Russia hired anti-LGBTQ+ rightwingers to push propaganda to U.S. audiences - LGBTQ Nation The Department of Justice revealed that Tenet Media was mostly funded buy Russian state media. It regularly platforms anti-LGBTQ+ broadcasters.

And Russia has been pushing this shit for about the same amount of time the TERFs have been active, unsurprisingly.

1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections.
2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so.
3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy.
4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.

Sending her puppygirl's praise kink into overdrive

They don't give a single fuck about their own supporters. It's particularly galling that they no longer care if they live or die.

Jeffery Epstein collaborated with major figures in tech like Peter Thiel to target trans people, especially trans women.

This thread is about how I & many others have been directly affected in the tech industry by this coordinated campaign of transphobia & hatred.

Good to hear.

🧼

Thanks.

You safe now?

the epstein files make it abundantly clear that individuals having this degree of wealth is directly the cause of every horrible thing in the world, and any coherent vision of a better future cannot involve billionaires existing. They have to go, be it taxed out of existence or otherwise removed.

…fucking dammit. Yes, I know that the Second Treatise of Law and Government was eighty years before Common Sense, not eight.

Here is a comprehensive review of 70 empirical studies of body cam use, showing no statistically significant reduction in incidences of brutality:

IF A SHADOW BLOCKS OUT THE SUN... (THERE WILL BE LIGHT)
IF IT STAYS TILL THE SUN IS SET... (THERE WILL BE LIGHT)
IF THE SUN NEVER SHOWS ITS FACE AGAIN... (THERE WILL BE LIGHT)
NO MATTER HOW DARK THIS CITY GETS, THERE WILL BE--

Getting ready to go remind my city council why governments should be afraid of their people.

It is ok to let yourself have one. It is ok to not be OK right now. I love you so much.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Not a single fucking person alive is surprised to learn that Elon Musk rapes trafficked children

Also, now and forever FUCK ICE.

we're running a speedrun event all weekend to support folks in Minnesota against ICE. this was put together in less than a month and the community support has been INCREDIBLE.

FUCK ICE

Digital illustration of the character Alita from the manga Battle Angel Alita. She is sitting facing away from the view looking back over her shoulder. She has purple eyes, fair skin and chin-length blue-black hair. From the neck down her body is entirely cybernetic, made of segmented blue-grey metal. In the background is the faint image of chaotic and jumbled industrial pipes and machinery.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN FEAR.

Is it, though? After all, it feels so natural.

….who are you and how did you sit in on my life?

This is a fact. And the fact that the news media isn't telling you this fact should tell you something.

Don't trust the media that won't give you the full story.

Colson Center CEO John Stonestreet argues that social science data reveals that kids “do best when they are raised in a home with married, biological mom and dad.” “We’re prioritizing the fantasies of adults, no matter how earnestly those fantasies are felt, over the real needs and the real good of children,” The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles warns.

It's a real full-circle moment because rhetoric that was refined in anti-trans propaganda is now being turned around to argue against gay marriage.

Note the renewed focus on children and the deployment of "biological parents" as a more-naturalized, more 'legitimate' category.
