“Allowing for variance , a query for “transgender” before:2017-01-01 returns around 300-400 results. The same query, restricted to after that time returns 51,200, 48,400 of which are after New Year’s day 2023. 44,800 of which appear to be tagged in the index as being from just this year?”

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

you want to do them. Nobody else will ever make what you love like that and it will die with you if you don't do them and that's personally what drives me. You don't have to make these things try to financially support you, you can do both. But I encourage you do it somehom

Whenever I showed people my US work visa, they looked at me with surprise, because it doesn't look real. And showing proof hasn't stopped US citizens from being detained or arrested either.
“Noem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof.”
Did you vote for a “Show Me Your Papers” society?

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

This is not a good move. If Greenland falls, Canada is next. Canada needs to stand with Europe so that if the time comes, they will stand with us.

Canadian troops won’t be joining European military force in Greenland
Small numbers of troops from European countries — including Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Britain — are being deployed to the Arctic island.

And yeah, people need to read this, cause boy does it feel relevant.

White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy.
A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.
what a legend lmao
