To our fellow Trans & Queer folk…

Being “respectable” isn’t gonna save you from the future that’s coming…

You’re going to have to learn what it’s like to be unliked all the time & fight for our siblings safety anyways, if you want to survive the upcoming catastrophe…

Give up politeness. Be rude.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

"Give the power to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1850s -- and the pro-segregation argument in the 1950s.

Israeli forces are using artificial intelligence and cloud computing systems sold by U.S. tech titans such as OpenAI, Google, Amazon and Microsoft for the mass surveillance and killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

The subversive genius of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance The Compton MC might have just given us the biggest rap performance ever

"Kendrick gave us what we needed. He was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful & celebratory. He was pro-Black & subversive, trolling & joyful, and through all the expectations and fighting and nastiness, he was ultimately victorious" - @daviddennisjr.bsky.social on Kendrick's #SuperBowl performance

Drake’s fall from grace—from pop superstar to rap beef punchline—is proof that we as a nation can turn away from Trumpism with the proper amount of ridicule and grassroots communal celebration

I will not be taking questions at this time

Trump spoils KC 3-peat by bringing his negative vibes to the Superbowl— fuck KC for embracing that POS.

Trump’s Anti-Trans Education Order Relies on Intimidation. We Must Not Yield. If parents, students and educators together refuse these policies, the policies will become unenforceable.

Solidarity and a refusal to practice “anticipatory obedience” are essential. If parents, students and educators together refuse these policies, the policies will become unenforceable.

Our Midwestern values are under siege.

At such a critical time for civil and labor rights in this country, Illinois is doubling down on our commitment to protecting all Illinoisans.

In doing so, we're solidifying our status as a place of welcome and opportunity for all.

In a span of 24 hours Trump:
•Signed EO withdrawing USA from UN Human Rights Council
•Declared ethnic cleaning of Gaza & US control
•Sent immigrants to a Gitmo concentration camp
•Said he’d let El Salvador imprison US Citizens

If you still don’t see this fascism for what it is you’re complicit.

Protesters are gathering outside of the office of Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate Democrats.

Democratic politicians continue to vote to confirm Trump's appointees, while many are calling on them to obstruct Trump's project at every turn.

State Department Travel Safety Website Removes Recognition of Trans People Critical safety information that once helped transgender travelers navigate potential risks is now entirely absent.

The State Department has removed critical safety information that once helped transgender travelers navigate potential risks, going as far as changing the acronym on the site from LGBTQIA+ travelers to LGB travelers.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

Ending Legalized Torture in the US Carceral System Most Americans are entirely unaware that every day the U.S. Government tortures more than 100,000 people in prison — but here's how we stop this injustice

At least 122,000 people daily across the U.S. suffer in solitary confinement—for up to 24 hours a day.

Recognized as a form of torture, solitary confinement remains pervasive in U.S. prisons, jails, & immigration centers. Here's how we end this form of torture.

Trump got 5000 less Mexican troops on the border than Biden had last year.

Protests against #ICE are spreading.

Headline, "Good Night, Tech-Right: Pull the Plug on AI Fascism" with X logo with Nazi salute.

Tech elites, fueled by an ideology that embraces capitalist monarchy, helped Trump win the election. Now he's ramming through mass infrastructure projects to fuel AI - which will only accelerate jobs lost to automation. The future is here, you just weren’t invited. itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...

I hoped we would be using guillotines by now.

People who believe in democracy need to start being Karens again.

We need to be at school boards yelling at fascists, harassing every treasonous MAGA politician, and generally being a goddamned nuisance to everyone participating in this Nazi takeover.

Raise hell.

Trump Inauguration Fact Check Debunking Trump's disinformation, summarizing the dozen plus mandates he announced today, and a reminder to not give up hope

I watched Trump’s inauguration so you wouldn’t have to.

While Trump leaned heavily into words like "freedom & peace," his stated actions indicate major domestic AND international violence.

Here’s the breakdown, the fact checks, & the receipts debunking his lies:

"Chappelle spent a significant chunk of his Netflix run punching down at trans people. It’s something he loves to do. How do I know that? Because during his 2023 special, The Dreamer, he literally said, “I love punching down.” Perhaps he cynically loves it because punching down creates attention-grabbing controversy that his benefactors at Netflix are pot-committed to riding out. (The closing credits of The Dreamer featured a photo of Chappelle and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos smiling together.) Maybe he loves it because he’s legitimately uncomfortable with trans people and resents being asked to rein in that discomfort. The results are the same, though, either way. Chappelle made a special project of stoking anti-trans hostility during years in which that sentiment galvanized throughout America, to the point where the newly elected president vowed in December to “stop the transgender lunacy” in his upcoming term. It is within this context that Chappelle screwed on his Earnest Mode face during this week’s SNL monologue and beseeched Trump to “have empathy” and not forget his “humanity.” (Legendary empathy-haver Dave Chappelle, ladies and gentlemen.) I don’t doubt his sincerity in speaking up for displaced Palestinians and victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, as he did during this segment of his marathon monologue. However, for a cultural..."

I wrote about why Dave Chappelle's plea to Trump for empathy on SNL felt so hollow, for @vulture.com. www.vulture.com/article/satu...
