There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Fuck fucking ICE

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

YO! This morning my sweet, perfect, lovely little princess Judy decided to use my phone as a chew toy and fully killed the screen, and I could use some help getting a replacement if you're feeling generous

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.

Help Duaa and her family in Gaza Hello everyone,My name is Doaa, I’m 28 years old from Gaza, and a mother of three little children. I once lived a simple life full of hope and dreams, but the war took everything from me. My home coll...

Doaa is the wife of Yaqub and is friends with @ssaakkhheerr2.bsky.social whom I’ve shared. She has social media in Gaza that predates the war and sent me a photo of her passport.

Doaa started this fundraiser because since they were displaced it has become very difficult to also support her sister.

Continuing to boost my friend Eslam, who has had all her socials and Blsky accounts taken away. Her fundraiser is the only support for her family in Gaza. chuffed.org/project/1282...

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

An 8x12 sign on a telephone pole reading: “Whatever you allow your government to do to others they will eventually do to you.”

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

If her fetus is "in her placenta," that woman is in a ton of pain and the pregnancy's a nonstarter anyway. Good lord, don't take medical advice from this man.

"Make the proof"

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

Chicagoans have arrived at Trump Tower, chanting "all power to the people, no human is illegal!"

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

my wife is in a restaurant in Portland eating this sandwich as the president says this.

At what point do the media and our lawmakers pull their heads out of the sand and do something about this? It's genuinely embarrassing in addition to being reckless and stupid.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Help Dee Get Her Gender Affirming Surgeries 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Hi, I'm Talyn, a good friend of Dee's and I want to get her at least off to a good start fulfilling her dream of getting gender affirming surgeries.

My friend was just told by her parents that they won't be helping with her transition at all despite already promising money. Her surgery is already booked and she needs extra funds urgently.

Not to be whiny, but I would really like for something good to happen. On a personal level. On a national level. On a global level. One of all three.

These two things are of a piece, even if the motivations and details differ.

Trump’s justification for his authoritarian crackdown is an America that doesn’t exist.
