I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

just so we're all on the same page any amount of automoderation about rape only ONLY hurts victims and creates an environment where sex criminals can operate with impunity

HEY YOU, BLUESKY USER
Do you like art on the site?
Then you'd better go give the site's moderators a piece of your mind, because they're looking to instate guidelines on October 15th that *massively* censor art on this platform.
Make noise in the comments, submit feedback forms on their site, go.

I already said I’m voting for him

Americans, particularly cis Americans, we once again need your help

Time to start calling

You get the feeling it's one very specific kind of anecdotal evidence that they downplay

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

There is a complete media blackout on these massive protests that happen weekly at this point.
Sharing for the benefit of my foreign friends who ask why we are not in a constant state of protest. To which I point out we are but we are also in a propaganda State.

Apathetic cis folks need to start paying attention and speaking up. A lotta folks claim allyship, but if you're not getting loud and making it know that this will NOT be tolerated, your allyship is worthless.

These fascist pricks wanna come for my loved ones? It'll be over my dead body.

In the heart of the Miccosukee, the Native American tribe that shut down Alligator Alcatraz The community found refuge from white persecution deep in the Everglades swamps centuries ago. Together with environmental groups, they succeeded in forcing the closure of the immigration detention ce...

Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

Y'all need to stop using Duolingo. Your library probably gives you free access to Mango or other language learning programs which haven't been sloppified.

the official national republican congress committee account posted this fake project 2026 agenda that democrats supposedly have and it’s so fucking funny they thought they could fool people into thinking it’s real

We get why people get mad about this, you feel like your livelihood is threatened. But look at it from our perspective, that of an immigrant here.

If we are watching a stream and we see an ad for ICE, or Border Patrol, etc, we just.. close the whole thing.

It's TRAUMATIC, seeing these ads.

What they hate is that they have to see us, or hear us, encounter us, or be aware of their existence in any way.

There's no stopping point for this hatred, there's no public facing job they consider acceptable for a trans person to hold.

What they are demanding is our complete exclusion.

a set of four Ultimate Guard Boulder deck boxes, each themed around a different house from Harry Potter, a series of books written by one of the most outspoken transphobes in the world, who uses her immense platform and wealth to demonize and directly harm trans people.

i really like ultimate guard boulders and katana sleeves. too bad i'm never buying any of them ever again.

Also, the funniest part of this is how I know this was a VERY recent bless-off on design:

The Ravenclaw animal is back to the eagle that it was in the books and not the Raven the movies made it for the house mascot crest. I know that the HP branding was pushing back to that animal recently soooo 🤷‍♂️

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography

AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

This thing only needs another 25k signatures. With the amount of porn on this site, this should be a cakewalk for us.

Your subscription also supports the nyt’s undisguised racism and anti-trans hatred.

The nyt hired a freelancer to partner with a Nazi to produce a racist hit piece on Mamdani.

It churns out mounds of anti-trans disinformation ripped straight from the ADF’s press releases.

In the last few days, Rush children's hospital, U Chicago Medicine, and Children's National Hospital have all announced they are ending their gender affirming care programs due to threats from the Trump administration.

They are cowards sacrificing trans youth to terrorists.

If you like my little queer utopia OC world, then it's time to step up and protect the real life places that inspired it! Denny Blaine is a queer nude beach that is now under legal threat by its rich neighbors to be sanitized, and its queer history erased. Take the small minute to sign the petition!

Appeasement, what could possibly go wrong. (Everything. This is a terrible idea. Do not concede to fascists.)

"Protesters Clash"

The media will kowtow to power even as their people are being shot.

Immigrant rights activists rally against presence of ICE contractors at Glendale hospital Activists denounced the continued presence of Immigration Customs Enforcement contractors at Dignity Health Glendale Memorial Hospital.

This shocking thread has close parallels to what’s happening in the UK. Trump is handing over government agencies to anti-science activists interested only in spreading hatred and bigotry. Reposting this to underline the depravity at work. In both countries, the press has failed —or been complicit

Sering bsky use phrases like "Protect Children Online" to describe censorship has me utterly convinced that at least one pedophile is in charge.

It's official. The SAG strike is finally over. It took an entire year but now VAs have the AI protections they sought. This is a huge victory. Do not let anyone who isn't in the industry tell you otherwise.

A bike network that isn’t inclusive of the needs of everyone who wants to safely use it is a failure

Any biker thats clinging to exclusion should reflect on their views

Every person we can get to use a city’s bike network is one more reason to advocate for safer and better systems to enjoy

the stripping of abortion protections wasn't seen as worth this level of resistance from democrats

concentration camps aren't seen as worth this level of resistance from democrats

the slow legal unpersoning of trans people isn't seen as worth this level of resistance from democrats

fucking hate fireworks lol ><
