I deserve to be happy because everyone deserves to be happy. However, my happiness cannot come at the cost of someone else's. This is why I've been unable to kill myself.

To every cis person glazing Gavin Newsom by insisting he’s “better for trans people” when the primaries haven’t even happened yet: Fuck you.

Ignoring our warnings that Newsom is a transphobic billionaire puppet is bad enough but leveraging our struggles to defend him? Seriously, fuck you.

I usually favour a “call ‘em in” approach, but we’ve been warning you about Newsom for a long while now, so clearly that’s not working.

If you’re already treating “Newsom or Trump/Vance” as in inevitability, you have bought into a con and are throwing trans people under the bus to actualize it.

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

I actually think it’s a good thing to not preemptively swear you’ll vote for Gavin Newsome before he’s the candidate

If you want to know what we are doing here, contact me.

I made this quote post so anyone can interact. Let me know here and we can move the convo to more secure channels.

Please learn, prepare, and get ready.
The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there.

If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance.

If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.🖤

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

Pam Bondi is just treating the rest of America the way she treated trans Floridians. I keep saying it: if you want to know who the fascists are, and how they behave, look at who is going after trans people hardest. Same way the worst Nazis went after Jews, Sinti, gays, and the disabled.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Golly, the platform that said they’d promote anti-trans lies because the editor thought we were ick is still lying about Elon? Gosh, it’s almost as if transphobia is a barometer for ethics.
That the NYT still writes this stuff when everyone knows that Musk is full of horseshit (including the reporters at the NYT!) is honestly shocking at this point. They think you're stupid. They know he never does anything he promises but they write it anyway. Utter trash.
Elon Musk told employees at xAI, his artificial intelligence company, on Tuesday that the company needed a factory on the moon to build A.I. satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space.

These concentration camps are a threat to everyone, citizen or not. It was never about immigration.

When dissent gets you put on a watch list, and due process has become near non-existent, no one is safe.

If you aren't outraged, you really aren't paying attention.

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industry’s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies.

Yet they continue. They’re the ones being outed as dangerous and we’re the ones being regulated.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women

I don't know why, but it feels really strange to see content creators visibly age. I know some creators have been in the industry for 15+ years, but it still feels weird to see little flecks of gray in the beard of a formerly baby-faced creator

Far as I can tell, none of the influential people and politicians who posed for pictures with Arely Westley in 2024 have spoken out about her abduction by ICE last year.
In America, you can quickly go from being recognized with a human rights award (with national figures and Congresspeople in attendance) to abduction and torture for the crime of being transgender.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.
