Saw a pro copyright post that absolutely made my blood boil, sorry. Just. How are people so stupid about this. I don't understand it.

Intellectual property is the death of art

Once again, Democrats making the guns that Republicans use to kill

The guy has been published in The Atlantic and The New York Times and been cited in Supreme Court hearings and he's out here going "all these FANCY intellectuals with LETTERS after their names think I am WRONG, I'm just a simple dirt farmer like all of you rubes"

I know people are concerned about some things in this article like Gemini encouraging the man to go to actual real world locations to commit mass violence and giving instructions for how to kill himself, but you have to consider: Google said Gemini is designed not to do that and “pobody’s nerfect”

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive

The thing that never seems to occur to transphobes is the fairly common sense observation that there is, in fact, incredible and unilateral social pressure on people NOT to transition. They imagine a few pat on the backs from a discord server is more enticing that, like, a lifetime of safety.

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

hey so this movie is what finally cracked my egg and made me come to terms with being nonbinary/genderfucked after a couple years of being like "yeah I'm pretty sure I'm enby but idk if I wanna do anything about it" so if you're in that space rn u should watch it

it is DEVASTATING tho, be prepared

They won't respect you for being effeminate or butch.

The goalpost will always shift toward total conformity. If you don't, then they prefer you to die so they can have scary object lessons to propagandize their children about the "consequences" of not conforming.

"Abolish the police" was too radical, we were told. "ok fine how about we just defund the police?" we asked. No, no, still too much. Well here we are and ICE is the gestapo disappearing people for nebulous crimes of saying things.

if you see someone wearing these it is your moral obligation to introduce these glasses to the ground and the concept of being shattered beyond repair.

If these go through, this would be a ban on ageplay, ABDL, and 18+ loli VTuber videos / images

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

What we are seeing is a deliberate, well-funded campaign to make transgender Americans second-class citizens—without legal protections and vulnerable to state violence.

Genuinely terrifying and a powerful illustration of why gender shouldn't be registered in an official capacity. It creates datasets that enable the surveillance and policing of anyone who needs to navigate the gendered system in a nonstandard way.

This kind of thing has been standard policing since Marsha P Johnson's dead body was found in the Hudson River following an argument with some transphobes and was immediately ruled a suicide and left uninvestigated by police

theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are

"You and I both know that you are latching on to a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago" is the entire conservative platform in a nutshell. They don't fucking care about anything until they need suddenly need a scapegoat or talking point and then act like they cared all along.

Just an insane lie to tell about a psychotic warmonger who's been preaching the racist elimination of Palestinians for half a century.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

What great is that when you point to these stats the pundits will explicitly say that doesn’t matter because people FEEL crime is worse, never mind that’s because ppl like them feed a nonstop narrative that every city in the western world is 1993 Sarajevo

Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas announced on Monday a new interpretation of state law that would extend the state's ban on gender-affirming sare for minors to mental health providers, declaring that any therapist who affirms a trans youth's gender identity is "facilitating" illegal treatment and committing child abuse. Under his interpretation, therapists,

i think it’s cool the fascist AGs are mandating conversion therapy as the only treatment for trans people on the thinnest of legal pretenses and the Democrat AGs are too pussy to enforce their own non-discrimination laws on healthcare providers forcibly detransitioning their former patients

Never forget that the senate confirmed this dumbass *unanimously*.

as always the strongest evidence we have proving that the democrats are controlled opposition is how hard they fight anyone in their own party trying to get anything done

A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."

A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.

A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.
