A group of men who regularly rape children decided to ruin the public's perception of trans people in this country for shits and giggles and every time I think about that my heart clenches into a blood-red fist of rage.

And I can't stop thinking about it.

Andrew, staring bleakly at his lack of options…
His white male privilege
His being a literal prince
His mother the millionaire empress
His brother the future king
His creep island rapist sick fuck mate

Do you see how cornered he was?

there's a reason the Nazis went after Raoul Minot for documenting the German occupation in photographs.

fascists want to own the record: the power to reshoot history, frame by frame, until their preference becomes the only memorable reality. generative AI is the culmination of that desire.
talking with someone about this today, and their whole expression sharpened suddenly as they asked "is that why ICE is angry people have video from multiple angles?"

AI is the enemy of documentation--which is a way of saying, it's the enemy of accountability.
a reminder that AI isn't just cringe; it's part of this administration's toolkit.

Ehh, we can get back to a new level of normalcy, but it’s gonna be one that recognizes the foundational elements of white supremacy infesting our political systems and what kind of vigilance we all need to hold to prevent it from rising again in our lifetimes
I have been tired of living in interesting times since the fall of 2015.

And we will never have any level of normalcy again, because Pres. Tangerine Kidraper and his cronies are ruining it for the whole world.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Posting something that blatantly racist, or allowing a staffer access to the president’s account with no indication it’s not him posting something that blatantly racist are both impeachable offenses.

The fact Republicans refuse to impeach him makes them complicit in all his crimes.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
