is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Mamdani: Trump ran on three promises. He ran on the punishment of his political enemies, easing the cost of living crisis, and mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. Yet he's unwilling to deliver on that because he's beholden to billionaires

People keep going "buy fan merch, not official!".

She has said outright that support for Harry Potter is support for her.

And is a trans person walking down the street meant to hold their breath until they get close enough to see if your shirt says (TM) Warner Bros or not?

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 1d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Since I see misinformation spread about Pillowfort often, and I think it’s a great site to join if you don’t want all your social media eggs in one basket, here’s a thread debunking common misconceptions I’ve seen over the years. 🧵

yea I don't think this is some elaborate plan, I think she and others on the team just genuinely value the Singals of the world over us and get a little upset at the idea of the uppity trannies and faggots telling them what to do

Ana Valens | 🔞 | Comms Open @acvalens.net · 5d

I personally believe this is true but not everyone on the Bluesky team realizes it

Ultimately, I think Graber is trying to drive queer users off the platform not as part of some 6D chess plan to push decentralization, but simply out of bigoted animus. She has contempt against the kind of people who did end up using the platform, and she wants them out of her sight – she doesn't care if they use other at proto services, so long as they quit hers. If that's her goal, well, I guess she should then just keep posting.
