After Charlie Kirk's death, Trump Jr. falsely claims trans people more dangerous than al-Qaeda He spread the big lie on The Megyn Kelly Show on the anniversary of the 9/11 attack. Kelly agreed.

Is this doing politics the right way? Or am I supposed to just calmly thank and debate the people calling my community terrorists and mass murderers?

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Youth anti-trans legal risk assessment map From Carla Lewis: this breaks my heart. there are now only FIVE safe states with strong protections for trans youth: new mexico, minnesota, vermont, hawaii, and massachusetts. if cis people don’t start fighting hard for trans youth, then soon there will be no safe states. an entire generation is going to suffer needlessly

This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Bsk, tumblr and insta combined I have apprx 40k followers.
5% from that is 2k.
If all of those people subbed to my 3 USD patreon tier it would make me earn 6k USD per month which would be enough for me to stop doing commissions unless I REALLY love the offer, and make original mm art full time

a photo of a black square plate, matte finish and wood grain texture, holding a roughly torn section of baguette, a hastily sectioned wedge of brie, and a whole apple. a pale hand holds the place over a white desk, and a desk mat made to look like those classic rugs for kids with roads and towns on them. a drawing tablet and various desk trinkets can be seen in the background.

I'd like to share an advancement I've made in the pursuit of an even more accessible 'lil guy dinner'

presenting: tavern fare

because who am I, if not a weary traveler in need of fuel on my adventure?

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

A Haikyuu fancomic with a blue color palette. The scene opens with the exterior of Karasuno’s gym. Kageyama and Hinata enter.  Hinata, smug: [… even my little sister knows that. You sure are stupid, Kageyama-kun…]  Kageyama, furious: [shut up already!]

Hinata to the other first years: [hey, you guys, Kageyama didn’t know that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore!]  Kageyama grits his teeth at Hinata.  Yachi: [Yeah! it’s a dwarf planet!]  Kageyama and Hinata: […dwarf planet?] They imagine a moon with a face of one of the Dwarves from Disney’s Snow White, although the eyes are blocked with a black bar.   Yachi: [um.]  Yachi, to herself: [I don’t know what they’re imagining, but I have a feeling it’s waaay off…)  Hinata: [so it can’t be a planet just because it’s too small? ]  Kageyama: [Like another idiot who’s too small…]  Hinata, angry: [Kageyama, you bastard!!]  Kageyama grins smugly.

Kageyama and Hinata fight in a cartoonish cloud of arms and legs.  Tsukishima, adjusting his glasses: [Pluto was declassifed as a planet because of its moon, Charon.]  As Tsukishima continues, Kageyama and Hinata stop their fighting to listen. Yachi leans in as well.  Tsukishima: [While most moons just orbit their planet, Charon is so large… that it actually exerts its own gravitational pull on Pluto… and two of them orbit each other.]  As he speaks, a visual of Pluto and its moon comes into view, spinning around each other among stars and other moons.  Yamaguchi: [You’re so smart, Tsukki!]  Tsukishima: [shut up, Yamaguchi]  Yamaguchi: [Sorry, Tsukki]  Yachi watches Kageyama and Hinata keep bickering as they walk away.  Yachi imagines Pluto in starry space. She thinks to herself: [two celestial bodies…]

Yachi’s thought bubbles continue over panels of Kageyama and Hinata in action.  Yachi: [one so powerful that it pulls the other out of orbit…]  A close up of Hinata’s face in profile, sweaty and set with determination  Yachi: [locked in a dance of space…]  A close up of Kageyama’s face as he sets and shouts for Hinata  Yachi: [It sounds a bit familiar.]  Kageyama sets the ball to Hinata among a starry blue background. The ball is now a blazing planet, and Hinata leaps to spike it.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

My students always ask me how the Nazis knew who was Jewish. Getting them to register beforehand was diabolical. They also used medical records to find differently abled children to experiment on in the ‘30’s. People were afraid of *overreacting* right until the trains pulled up at Auschwitz.

Let's also not forget the "homegrowns" who are also receiving letters telling them to self-deport. (All women, and all in positions that could be threatening to the regime... Strange indeed...)
