It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

This is also what transformed the US from a state willing to found and fund programs to aid its citizens to one trying to convince the populace that they should ask for and expect nothing from government.

Land giveaways, grants, etc. Can no longer legally be White Only, so now no one gets anything.

Authoritarianism, especially in service of the ultra-wealthy, has no place here. May those who crown themselves kings rot in their own depravity.

Community is everything.

You’re not in this alone.

Find support, build networks and keep each other motivated.

Collective action is the key to real change.

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you.

Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!

Chapter 8: Beethoven's
Later Years
In the years after Napoleon's rise and fall as Emperor of France, Beethoven was in a flurry of musical writing. Being dead did not stop him in the slightest from recovering quickly and going on with his music. Sure, it was much harder. But he got through it.
He even fell in love many times. Some people

Two large old oak trees stand on either side of the photo, their twisted branches reaching into the middle. The scene is foggy and there are some other trees behind. The ground is brown with dead ferns.

I have thoughts and feelings on what happened today. Zelinsky deserves better. Ukraine deserves better. The United States also deserves better.

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

The anti-trans movement always pretends its latest demand, its latest moral panic, is the limits of what they want. Just give in to this one "reasonable concern" and they'll be satisfied, promise. It's a lie, they'll never be happy as long as trans people exist.

Headline: trans girl sets triple jump record

Reality: It's a meet record in division 3. It's not even a sports record or a top division record. It's for a single meet, the kind of record that goes down all the time.

So many such cases of disinformation.

How to download your Kindle books while Amazon still allows it After Feb. 26, Amazon is doing away with its Kindle "download and transfer via USB" option.

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me

A screenshot of the Muppet script that reads: Kermit: Yeah, well, I've got a dream, too. But it's about singing and dancing and making people happy. That's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And, well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And...and it kind of makes us like a family. Do you have anybody like that, Hopper?"

"Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

"If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not 'inalienable' and they're not 'rights.'

"We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

"And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with."

REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)
