If you think it’s okay that US Representatives are saying transgender people should be institutionalized, we’re not friends. Full stop.

More days like this one would be ideal.

To whichever generation creates TikTok trends, I love my cat as much as the next person but I did not need Connie Francis to ever make a comeback.

At a doctor’s appointment today:
Technician: sometimes insurance is a pain in the butt.
Me: sometimes?
Front desk person: *nearly spews her coffee onto her computer*

I’ve spent all of the last two days thinking today is Saturday.

Overheard at the doctor’s office: “‘gender assigned at birth?’ Why would they even ask that. Ridiculous. Pffft.”

I’m guessing they wouldn’t appreciate hearing the stats on infants born with intersex conditions then…?

I just made my first ever edit to a Wikipedia article. Is this what unlimited power feels like?

(Let’s not get too excited. I just fixed a grammatical error.)

Sitting back and watching the world burn while stuffing your face with popcorn is taking the side of the oppressors.

Incredibly sus that there’s a “He Gets Us” ad asking “what are you sick of?” on every clip of the Super Bowl Halftime show.

I need an adultier adult. My lunch was frozen custard.

How to find the Gen X people in a room: play “Land of Confusion” by Genesis and listen to who is singing the ad-libbed echoes in the choruses.

Absolutely LOVE hearing some neckbearded podcast bro in the middle of KS talk about Canadian politics. He knows less about Canada than the US, and he knows woefully little about that.

And now he’s moved on to El Salvador. Bro doesn’t even understand his own country and needs to stop talking.

Don’t let cowards normalize fascism, do what you can while you can. Silence is consent.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure.
Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump.

5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

Lutherans Hammer Against Misinformation by Michael Flynn & Elon Musk We might need to update that famous saying by German Lutheran theologian Martin Niemöller. First they came for the Episcopalians … then they came for the Catholics … then they came for the Lutherans.

“Flynn’s radical vision for America is one where he decides who is Christian or not. Now, he’s decided the #ELCA doesn’t make the cut.”

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

You know what makes me the most sad?

During the Civil War, we praised the Underground Railroad.

During World War II, we praised The Resistance and the Partisans who hid Jews.

Now a large chunk of America wants to turn in those who hide oppressed people.

We’re going backwards.

When you were growing up, what did you imagine you would do if nazis invaded your country? That is probably still your best guide for what you ought to do now.

Ain't that the truth!?

No one reads the Bible, especially Jesus's own words, and naturally concludes to hate trans people. Transphobia might be popular, but it's neither biblical nor Christlike. Never was. Never will be.

Some people are exceptionally good eggs.

I’m trying to remember Bluesky is a thing. For no particular reason.

why are they so angry after winning

Another new place? Fun.
