It’s cruel to accuse someone of creating a child like me? Cool. Not only are you a transphobe, you’re also an ableist

There are plenty of people that aren’t women that can be pregnant. Why should they be excluded?

flyingawaynow.bsky.social @flyingawaynow.bsky.social · 17d

People that are able to be pregnant include more than just mothers

It’s important to recognize what it’s doing to autistic people. Parents and other caregivers are important, but please make sure to center the actual autistic people

Thank you for amplifying autistic voices

Companies often make it pretty hard for us to ask them not to share our information. @CAGovernor should sign A.B. 566 and give us the tools to make it easier to do so. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This was always the goal and don’t forget that this happened because of the Democrats/Joe Biden. TikTok was in zero danger of being banned and the ban was non existent until Biden/Dems worked w Gallagher to revive it because people were using the app to speak out about Israel’s genocide.

News organizations need to stop calling “immigration judges” — executive branch employees — judges in headlines.

Doing so does virtually the only thing a headline should never do: It confuses the reader.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:

Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Just to head off nonsense, no I am not a democrat, but I have in the past registered as a democrat to vote in closed primaries and I have called their offices to complain more times than I can count so I’m sure that one or both of these are the reason that I have been targeted

Is there a way to get off these democratic donation solicitation texts?

I am not a democrat and I never gave and never ever ever will donate because someone spammed me without my consent

I don’t give money to fascist enablers hell bent on keeping the current cis white straight patriarchal system

So you can be detained AT a car wash, but you can’t be detained BECAUSE you’re at a car wash

Minor clarification - it prevents using location or type of work as reasonable suspicion. If they have reasonable suspicion not based on language, accent, race, ethnicity, location, or occupation, they can still detain people at car washes, etc. with legal reasonable suspicion

Los Angeles is already under attack. Don’t just follow orders. Do the right thing.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty mil and you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities.

Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.
