En toute décontraction, un élu de droite à Paris diffuse un mensonge visant à obtenir la fermeture de la seule librairie lesbienne de Paris.

La mairie de Paris finance #VioletteandCo, qui diffuse des ouvrages justifiant le Hamas et appelant à la disparition d’Israël, ce que reconnaît #PatrickBloche. L’ambiguïté n’est plus possible : ou elle coupe les subventions, ou elle devient complice de cet antisémitisme.

Thanks to all the artists.

Those who manage to create despite the odds. And those who manage to survive despite the odds.

We need you, but we need you to thrive. What you created is still here and immortal, what you will create can wait. You don't owe us anything.

Please take care of yourselves.

I keep hearing that artists have to keep creating, to preserve hope, to make people want to carry on…

…But that is really hard to do when you scrape the bottom of the barrel yourself. Can't pass on happiness if you barely have enough to carry yourself through the day.

the age of societal domination by mediocre white men was drawing to a close. nature was healing. and thus the most mediocre of all staged a hostile takeover of our government by economic force so that they could institute counterrevolution and maintain their control in perpetuity.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

"Queer behavior" includes gender expression, so trans people existing.

"Queer identity" is meaningless without "queer behavior".

I think we need pessimism to be able to fight oppression.

We cannot afford optimism in this situation. Because it leads to inaction.

We need to acknowledge things are getting worse and will keep going downhill until we fight back.

I'm not gonna be dishonest and pretend I am not highly pessimistic about the future. I can point to at least four or five (probably more) massive things that make think despite all the good will of radical/grassroots movements we're fucking doomed.

In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."

This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.

A press release dated October 7, 2025, with the headline: “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Undercover Operations to Infiltrate and Uproot Leftist Terror Cells in Texas After Increased Political Violence.” The statement claims rising left-wing violence, referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and outlines Paxton’s directive for undercover investigations. A highlighted quote from Paxton reads: “Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people.” The text further accuses the radical Left of fostering political violence, referencing incidents involving Antifa-like groups and a supposed assassin tied to transgender movements. It also notes that President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with Paxton vowing sweeping investigations into radical leftist groups.
