The Portland protesters
try not to escalate
tensions with the federal
occupying troops.
For instance, none of
them wear dog
costumes.
Don't want to give
Noem's a twitchy finger.

fwiw. obv not. that would lead to an all out of war and I promise you that the federal government are going to show up far more armed and defended than even the most ardent gun owners of America

my point was really how the right wing seem totally fine with govt tyranny when they're the tyrants.

I don't get it either, a country where guns massively out number people and they seem reluctant to take to the street and take the fight to ICE.

If someone offers trans people a country of our own, in the middle of someone else's land, I strongly recommend we don't take it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

if you can afford £5 a month, join the green party. if the greens have more members than reform, which way do you think the 'do whatever seems popular this week' party currently in government will swing? £5 per month. we really can make a difference.

Actually, scratch that. All 3 are because of him and his party. There wouldn't be a need for the mildest of action if Labour weren't overseeing a genocide of trans people (and trans youth in particular).

Obviously it’s best for Wes to call out a bit of paint that’s easy to clean off the glass - and he can maybe call it violence even though it’s not anywhere near as violent as removing treatment from trans kids.

He wouldn’t want anyone asking too many questions about trans suicides after all…….

In the last three days we've seen three trans related stories.

1) the preventability suicide of a trans girl
2) @bashback.bsky.social 's action
3) this story about an MP ignoring a suicide trans girl.

Which do you think the health sec. Condemned?

If EVERYTHING you think you know about trans people has been learnt from social and mainstream media over the past 10 years, and not an actual trans person, it's probably 80% garbage. Talk to a real trans person. Read a book published before 2015. We are anything but new, and We. Are. Going. Nowhere

Julie Bindel is so much of a feminist that she had lunch with Jennifer Lahl who doesn't think women should spend their "fertile years" having a career.

A photo of Julie Bindel and Jennifer Lahl with a caption that reads "is this you, having lunch with Jennifer Lahl of the Heritage Foundation Julie.
Why were you doing that"

Section of an article from Forbes magazine dated 03, 2024.

It reads. "In a piece decrying the falling fertility rate, founder of the anti-abortion Center for Bioethics and Culture Network Jennifer Lahl criticizes women having children at older ages and “spending a large portion of their most fertile years building their careers,” as well as in vitro fertilization and using egg donors or surrogates—writing, “We need to stop practices that may bring harm to others: the children born from high-tech pregnancies as well as the women who are exploited for their healthy reproductive capacities.”

No one, and I don't care if you have or haven't. I'm just pointing out a judge will take this to indicate premeditation.

You know, admitting to wanting to run people over won't be looked on kindly by a judge if you actually do hit someone accidentally.
