And how do you think we will get to that world if we do not demand it?

Some guy @internethuman.bsky.social · 11h

Oh you don't want us to back off but you've complained up and down this thread about people saying that a candidate that does not back trans rights is unacceptable to us?

Make it make sense

Tell me how those specifically are acceptable? Do you think if we "back off" the fucking GOP is going to just stop doing shit? We let them do one thing next time they'll push further.

You're talking about backing off of trans rights. About not fighting against not letting trans kids play with their peers, about preventing trans people from getting medical treatment PROVEN TO REDUCE SUICIDE, we're talking about making trans people worry about being able to use the fucking bathroom

"Do what i want and be happy about it"

-Jeez

Some guy @internethuman.bsky.social · 11h

Like i seriously don't see how you don't get this. We're talking about forcing a segment of people out of society. Denying them full participation with their peers. In what way could that possibly be acceptable?

Cool so do what it takes to get into office and meet us based on the conditions we're demanding.

Why is that a problem?

And we can tell you to fuck off the entire time. But, we have votes. And we're telling you what our conditions are. You don't want to meet those? No problem. Good luck without our votes. It doesn't matter what you think or how much you disagree, those are the conditions here. Deal with it.

Some guy @internethuman.bsky.social · 11h

Ffs, how do you not get this yet? No one can tell anyone else what to feel you can hate whoever you want. We're saying you're not welcome. That we think those feelings make you a bad person. That's probably upsetting, it should be.

You can disagree all you want that's your right.

Yeah you don't hate all minorities, just trans people right?

What rights are you personally ready to willingly give up for the cause?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

New Reuters/Ipsos poll: Around 58% of Americans — including seven in 10 Democrats and half of Republicans — feel that the president should only deploy armed troops to "face external threats."

Except Israel had jack shit to do with Assad's fall. HTS and the Syrian national army captured Damascus.

All the IDF did was steal syrian land and equipment after the fact.

Got any more lazy fucking propaganda you want to spread?

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

This is why policing your movement and disciplining protests are incredibly important. Its how you root out agent provacateurs and nut jobs

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland.

A coalition of Chicago and national press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police today.

Independent journalists must be protected from ICE attacks

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

“A new left-wing political approach must emerge from the Supreme Court’s destruction of laws and rights—an approach that doesn’t rely on the courts to enforce social progress, but relies on the people to force social progress on the courts.”

As always, he’s correct.

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term.
