This @BarackObama tweet will be taught in genocide studies courses as a case study of what dehumanization looks like.

MLK Jr. on moderates like yourself:

"I have almost reached the
regrettable conclusion that the
ne[]ro's greatest stumbling block in
his strike toward freedom is not the
White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku
Klux Klanner, but the white
moderate, who is more devoted to
'order' than to justice."

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.

Sylvia Rivera basically engaged in resistance btw. Don't forget that. Her actions are one of the major reasons why American trans people eventually made any gains in human rights to begin with.

The Ms Rachel hate makes me sad but it’s also fascinating. All she’s doing is treating Palestinian children as worthy of respect and kindness, and she’s doing it with a smile on her face.

I think we’re so used to toxic positivity that we are taken aback by the real deal.

Socialist Cuba keeps training young Palestinians as doctors, while the capitalist and white supremacist West keeps backing the genocide and occupation of the Palestinian people.

Cuba continues to show the world what true solidarity looks like. 🇨🇺❤️🇵🇸

A large group of more than 100 Palestinian medical students pose for a photo with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel inside a bright hall at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana. The students—many of them wearing white medical coats and black-and-white keffiyehs—surround Díaz-Canel, who is also wearing a keffiyeh around his shoulders. Everyone smiles warmly, with several students making peace signs and leaning in close together. The background shows lush indoor greenery, wooden paneling, and reflective black marble floors. The atmosphere feels proud and joyful, representing Cuba’s ongoing solidarity with Palestine and its revolutionary commitment to educating and training Palestinian youth as doctors.

A screenshot of a post from @PresidenciaCuba on twitter. The post reads:

> “🇨🇺 | More than 100 young Palestinians studying Medicine in #Cuba were this afternoon at the Palace of the Revolution, where they were received by President @DiazCanelB, in an afternoon filled with emotions and solidarity toward #Palestina.”

Below the text is a photo of the students posing with President Miguel Díaz-Canel in the Palace of the Revolution. The group fills the hall, smiling and standing close together under bright lighting and surrounded by tall indoor plants. The image celebrates Cuba’s internationalist solidarity and its tradition of offering free education to students from oppressed nations, especially Palestinians.

The monstrosity of this truly can't be explained. So many young people are gonna grow up with their loved ones, this is gonna have devastating consequences in the society as a whole. This is what Biden, Kamala, Trump, Vance, Starmer, Lammy, Sunak, etc. have caused.

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"

Trump eyes a triumphal arch to mark America’s 250th anniversary

The arch would be constructed across from the Lincoln Memorial, on a small patch of federal land currently occupied by a traffic circle.

#NationalComingOutDay
Coming out is a process.
For me that process truly began when Section 28 was passing into law.
Gay men and lesbians were told that we were ‘less than’, that our relationships were pretend.
I needed to stand up.
So I came out.
And never looked back.
