Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access.
Are you getting it yet?
what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth.

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

You donโt fix abuse by funding it. You stop it by cutting off its funding and dismantling the institution thatโs terrorizing communities.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

It's why I often just send my little jokey jokes or thoughts and comments to my friends instead of writing them to the Internet at large.
There's no actual capacity for dialogue in this medium, and at this point it's hard to argue that that's a feature and not a bug
The bluesky cycle to me is basically: small comment turns to discourse, discourse quickly spirals to harassment, harassment leads to discourse about harassment, harassment inherits the Internet.
No part of that is fun, to read or be a part of, and it's all exhausting given...you know, everything.
While it's admittedly easier for me to say as someone who's always had a relatively meager following on social media, the kinds of intense, vitriolic responses that we can get for saying anything even remotely perceivable as hostile is a factor to why I've never tried to get more of a following.
