A very left queer Welsh/Sri-Lankan #trans woman in the US PNW.

A #Journalist & ER nurse in the unconscionably cruel & unethical healthcare 'system'. I write fiction as Anesha Griffiths.

Nazis & TERFs can fuck off.

This ain't my work account.

Expect nothing and I'll probably manage to deliver.

My brain, having worked on it all day (much to my annoyance because I really just wanted to forget about it) finally came up with the answer to how I will handle this in future and I'm not sure if I'm pleased or horrified.

But I do at least have a plan.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Today I ran into an asshole collecting signatures supporting a ballot measure to exclude a vulnerable minority and push up youth suicide rates.

He thought I might be a fan of his bigotry.

Let's just say that the meeting did not go well.

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “

The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

This is a complete joke. Neurodivergence is still massively under diagnosed in the UK. Pretty much every expert in the field recognises this.

They’re about to do to ADHD meds what Cass did to trans kids. Be very afraid.

I joined Bluesky because I thought it was going to be a safe place for me as a trans woman. There was so much promise of it being a permanent social media home.

We all deserve a straightforward answer from management if they'll protect their users from harm, or if they'll protect abusers instead.

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 3d

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

This guy told the Speaker of the House to do everything in his power to stop the discharge petition, including extending the shutdown just to avoid the swearing in of someone who would make it happen. Think about how awful the info in there must be. Asking Rs to eat the shutdown just to protect him.

“We need to use our anti-terrorism laws, our RICO statutes, our conspiracy statutes — we need to use every tool in our law enforcement arsenal to crush these left-wing terrorists legally, financially, and politically, and to cut off their funding sources, and throw them in prison,” Mike Davis, a conservative attorney close to Trump, tells Rolling Stone. “George Soros, and the octopus of his left-wing organizations, must be investigated. NGOs importing and harboring illegal aliens must be investigated. Nobody is above the law. I’m very excited for these Democrats to face criminal probes for their real crimes.… Justice is coming — and justice is best served cold.”
