Please check on the trans people in your life today.

The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.

Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.

We can’t let them get away with it.

Trans rights are human rights.

Might I suggest a career change?

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

I don't need to be excited about the candidate, but I don't want to vote for a democrat who will not fight for my rights or those of my spouse. If my rights are stripped away, does it matter which party is in charge?

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.

It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.

This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

Seems correct.

So it's wrong to say the name of the person who killed a civilian without cause? It's wrong to say the name Jonathan Ross? Ok. Good to know.

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

The oppressor will always tell us to calm down, be civil, watch our tone. Don't fall for it. It's not on us to make the attackers comfortable.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Jan. 6, 2021: A visual archive of the Capitol attack NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

No matter what kind of whitewashing propaganda is put out by corrupt institutions, there are still archives of photography, recordings, and accounts that counter the "official" falsehoods. You might find this link useful if you run into rewritten memories?

The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.

Stop lying to the American people.

I'd love a list of other films you consider competence porn, as I love both the Martian and Apollo 13

OMG she seems horrible.

The fruitcake was no longer edible - no amount of whiskey soaking could save it that long! Fortunately, I had the ingredients to make another batch and sent it in February:) fingers crossed that your package arrives.

So frustrating!

I haven't trusted USPS with a Christmas package containing homemade fruitcake. Turns out, the box didn't leave the Portland post office for over 3 weeks. I hope your package fares better!

We got home at 3 am and he seems better with some new meds. We are all very eepy this morning!

We are still here at the emergency vet but it doesn't seem like anything is dangerously wrong tonight.

A gray and white cat propped against a blue pillow and a stuffed animal (a sloth), looking pleased and relaxed.

We spent solstice at the emergency vet and now Christmas Eve at the emergency vet, and Doyle is done with this nonsense. Here he is on a day when he wasn't feeling under the weather.

Thinking there are no kind people in the world? Think again.

The Trump administration is trying to legislate trans people out of existence

and no, transgender rights are not a "distraction"

THEY ARE THE FIGHT
THEY ARE ALL THE FUCKING FIGHT

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.

It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

I once again reiterate that cis people do not understand that what is being called for is the torture of trans children en masse. They do not even conceptualize our suffering and cannot feel the same level of outrage. They will deny the possibility that a "natural puberty" can be horrific. They are

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

Trans rights are human rights and it's not negotiable, you fucks
