I know President Miller isn't very smart but this seems unwise for somebody trying to install a military dictatorship

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 18h

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

I love Dark Souls! I like Dark Souls 3 once I get past the HEY FUCK YOU BUDDY of the first zone! DS2 feels like it's so full of "oh you figured out how to be good at DS1? Well ha ha ha sucker check this out!"

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

I wanna circle back around on this and just bask in the fact that the frontrunner for NYC mayor is talking about Sylvia Rivera and god what a world, what can even feel possible

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 11h

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.

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

Liberals, after telling the trans and palestinian communities their existence is negotiable and losing an election about it:

RSE guidance is “patently and cruelly transphobic” - community responds to ‘Section 28 2.0’ curriculum

It has taken a "trans exclusionary" approach and received widespread condemnation from the LGBTQIA+ community

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 10h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

"The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least."

A politician who, on Coming Out Day, talks about trans people in a way that ties current and past trans struggles into a historical context and shows an understanding of the moment. This is good politics.
