This is how you talk about queer issues. Historical context, truth about the lives people lead, and concrete action you’ll take to help protect vulnerable people. It’s easy when it’s guided by principles and not craven political calculations.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Mamdani is such a good guy. Being decent is not a high bar, but most politicians fail to clear it. Dems need to learn from Mamdani that everything does not need to be poll tested. Having humanity is always right.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Are you really asking us to take more seriously a mythology that in its own canon has someone be like "Yo that swan is hot and I'm gonna have sex with it!"

folks, youre not going to believe this but ive been reading revelations and the only way to keep the 7 seals secured and stave off the antichrist is to give me all your money

Homophobia 🤝 transphobia

Growing up in the 70s, 80s, & 90s we heard the exact same stuff - word for word - being said about gays and lesbians.

#transrightsarehumanrights

"free speech zone" is such a bullshit phrase

according to the constitution, the entire country is a free speech zone

I invite everyone to learn how it's illegal for aboriginal australians to engage anything that can constitute 'pornography' in parts of the country, that this came about after a 2007 military invasion, and factor this into the way he behaves about the inherent sexuality of 'degenerates' accordingly

Brother the average age in that room is past retirement

today's political reality has been entirely constructed for us by sociopathic billionaires and there is no return from that and no chance at avoiding a climate catastrophe that doesn't destroy our civilisation while billionaires continue to be permitted to exist

We are not trivialising LLMs.

Copyright theft is not trivial.

Environmental damage is not trivial.

Unreliability is not trivial.

Risk to human cognition is not trivial.

Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

like these guys might just have more dollars than sense. that's never stopped anyone from bringing ruin to other people but it's also the rare kind of thing that can bring ruin to the powerful

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

I had a post reach the Discover feed today and was once again reminded of how many people on this site are not house trained.

like seriously team, I know y'all are working on both improving Discover and on better reply sentiment filtering and all, but it's going to take a while to tune it properly and a "never show my post on Discover" setting would be a 10 minute fix that would get 65% of why people want private accounts

I wonder, to what extent has the decline of things like the local pub contributed to young men in particular being drawn into these toxic manosphere ideologies. They aren't getting life advice from normie older people anymore and are instead getting brainwashed by Andrew Tate and his ilk.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Scary green witch figure with a sign "please do not play with the witch. She is fragile."

My sign.

Honestly it's a nightmare rogue state

Nobody wants to start a shooting war with America or Russia, so we let them and their proxies get away with literal murder

It's almost like empires are disasters that should be prevented at all costs

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Trump Administration Lays Off Dozens of C.D.C. Officials

Those fired include the staff of the MMWR, our major source of information on outbreaks and guidelines, EIS, our disease investigators, and many experts. We are not equipped AT ALL to handle another outbreak or at this rate, any infectious disease…

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Pretty sure Sun Tzu said that not feeding your troops was a quick way to the Cool Zone.

anybody who's good at history want to tell me if it's good or not to starve your troops
