trans people if you did nothing else this year you made it through 12 months of the federal government having your extermination not low on its list of priorities and you can feel really good about that it’s a big deal

Avalance will always be my favorite relationship. A former member of the League of Assassins and a clone fall in love and captain a timeship together, what's not to love?

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

As trans healthcare is decimated no one is standing up for the integrity of the scientific process for these patients.

Uninstalled fortnite because of their winter theme. There's just too much transphobia in the world right now to have anything to do with that franchise.

"A.i." is a tool of racists and fascists and liars. Do not use it and do not spread it. Abolish "A.i." from every space and org you have authority over - at the very least from your own computers and social media feeds.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Any win, no matter how small, will be seen as confirmation that a trans woman had an unfair advantage despite the science which shows the lie this rhetoric is. Basically they can ban trans women for existing and if they don't lose.

Jeff Kent is, without a doubt, the first person sent to Cooperstown who said his truck jumped him during an innocent car-washing domestic situation. And probably the last, but never say never.

Spend five minutes talking to someone who has survived what these policies were designed to stop and you’ll never be the same again. PREA is imperfect and often weaponized, but it’s often the only protection trans/intersex prisoners have. Everyone involved in this should never know a moment’s peace.
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

abolishing ice is the compromise
it finally happened -- a good student of mine vanished from class about six weeks ago. this student reappeared today and explained that they had been in ICE detention in another state during that time. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

The Times article they link to suggests that the IOC doctor's review will not be subjected to peer-review nor does it appear to be planned for public release, but an unidentified source says, "It was a very scientific" so... ya know... case closed?
