I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

Fenway Health Restricts Treatment for Patients Under 19 In Capitulation To Trump

“This is a fundamental betrayal to the core mission of Fenway and the patients they serve.”

I’m never gonna let this Charlie Kirk thing go, as long as i live. I want Democrats to pass a resolution condemning him. I want investigations into how his death was used to stamp out dissent. I want CEOs hailed before committees to explain why they fired workers who condemned him.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Julie Bindel is so feminist she does an interview with anti-abortion Christian institute.

The Christian Institute. Council apologises for 'unlawfully cancelling feminist speaker over trans views

The Bible teaches that all human life is created in God's image and so is intrinsically valuable from conception. At The Christian Institute we therefore seek to defend the sanctity of life.
Abortion -destroying life somewhere between conception and birth -is wrong. The Bible states that the deliberate taking of an innocent human life breaks the sixth commandment: "You shall not murder".
In total,there have now been more than 10 million abortions in Great Britain since the 1967 Act was passed.

Go pre-order this, I'm 1/3 of the way through and it's excellent. Ever wanted a traditional crime noir but the PI is a trans lesbian? You want this.

The first time I laid eyes on Akakios, child of Diodotos, xe was drunkenly trying to start a high-end turbobike outside the Draped Vine. Xe had a young-looking face, but xer hair was bone white and xer slight yet toned arms were covered in fading scars. I could tell by xer eyes that xe was wasted, but otherwise xe looked like every hard-working sailor I drank with in those days; it was a strange sight for a high-end establishment like the Vine.

Behind the sailor was a girl. Her hair and dress were a deep red—like blood oozing from a wound—and her disinterested smirk marked her as the kind of woman I would have let walk all over me. Her skin was nearly as pale as Akakios' hair. The elegance of that woman almost outmatched the elegance of the bike. Not quite.

A rather annoyed parking attendant stood next to the bike, one hand holding it steady as xe struggled with the controls. The man was the usual half-tough character in ostentatious white garb, with the name of the bar displayed on his crisp suit in dark purple. He was at the end of his rope.

"Look," he said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "you've got to move the bike. I can even turn it on for you if it gets you out of here faster." He reached for the controls but yelped when Akakios slapped his hand away.

"At the end of the day, if you're born a bloke, you're going to men's prison and we'll deal with you there."

So that's where we are in Australia. Everybody knows what she means here. She means that trans women get raped with government approval. That's how they "deal with us" in men's prisons.

How can I have any fellowship with a stratum of people who believe that whether or not people are raped is a matter of no consequence if they're members of another group?

I try to convince myself that we have cis allies and then I watch the completely apathetic reaction of every cis person, even the otherwise good ones, to the fact of V-coding, and that conviction shatters under the weight of the truth

if you are a cis person who values what i say but tends to dislike interacting with most trans people for being histrionic or constantly upset, i urge you to understand just how bad things are for us

for example, there is a spectrum of fair or unfair things that can happen if you (a cis person) commit a crime and are sent to prison

but i will most likely be placed in a men's prison and raped to death no matter the crime/sentence (V coding) with the alternative being solitary confinement forever

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 7d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Before I allowed myself to be myself I was paying the price for what I believed in. Being anti-war got me kicked out at 16 (illegal btw)

The last time I saw my step-grandfather before he died back in 2019 (I think) was 2008 when he kicked me out of a family gathering because I canvassed for Obama

The narrative that most white trans women were right wing femboys before they realized themselves is so tiresome when you were basically a femboy in everything but name for 20 years while using your time and money for local and national politics when you weren't drowning yourself in escapism

Amazing that the ABC manages to avoid actually pointing out that Chief Minister Finocchiaro’s prison directive statistically guarantees a majority of trans women held in NT jails for any reason whatsoever will be sexually assaulted and/or raped

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
