I most identify with Glinda, but I've always had a soft spot for Nessarose

Like there's a couple where the main joke is that the wife is extremely controlling, goes through her husband's phone and says to him that she's going to decide who all his friends are

A propos of nothing, I've been trying to watch that rom-com series Nobody Wants This w/ Kristen Bell but keep having to stop bc I'm so disturbed by the rampant sociopathy and psychological abuse that is apparently just a part of straight romantic culture

Honouring the trans women and fems slain by violence used to feel like invoking a lineage of fierce and fabulous ghosts. Right now, it feels hollow, writes @razorfemme.bsky.social

A couple years ago I decided to never tag or show my husband on socials because of the time that the "gender critical" crowd decided to harass me and tried to get to me by attacking my partner. The worst part of being a public figure is having your loved ones threatened

Thank you for your service ❤️‍🔥

DHS is repelling from helicopters into apartment buildings to raid them and zip tie children in the middle of the night while saying "fuck them kids." They're shooting at people on the streets and lying about it.

This is a hostile occupying force that is a threat to everyone's safety.

We Can't Live Like This Trump's ICE agents are wantonly breaking the law across the country, while he sends the national guard to forcibly occupy blue states. It's up to the good citizens of this country to oppose this uncon...

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

No literally this is the thing: the Right has completely captured the media apparatus in an era where that doesn't matter, no matter how much regime loyalist content they put out everyone fucking hates them

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Hey love 💜 I'm so happy to hear from you. I love that you like The Poem. That made me tear up to read. It feels truer than ever these days...

For the last edition of my column DANGEROUS SPACE with @xtramagazine.com I wrote about why it's time for queer communities to say goodbye to cancel culture as we resist the accelerating crackdown on our rights.

Hi

ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday

Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere

If you have any national platform at all

Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

I don’t think people truly understand the ascendency of fascism in this country right now. This is an abhorrent, but not surprising, proposal given the rhetoric and actions of the Trump regime and its far right supporters.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

New Bill Would Give Marco Rubio “Thought Police” Power to Revoke U.S. Passports Secretary of State Marco Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him revoke passports from U.S. citizens.

This is how they ensure political opponents can't escape when they start rounding them up.

If you're in a position to leave, you should do so now before they close the door.

In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo.

Including “TRN” the ironsight and a direction broad arrow:

Why not

So how many anonymous attempts to take down trans women, famous and otherwise, in the last month do we have at this point? Enough that it’s reasonable to suggest something dangerous is happening?
