“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.
there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.

when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*
State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA
Nature Human Behaviour - From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts...

A good comment on how racist and sexist bias is affecting 🧪 starter packs 🔭 ⚛️

I have definitely noticed this and had a moment where what I really appreciated is the way Black studies folks have embraced me. It’s why I still do science. Scientist sure as hell aren’t.
I just looked at a highly circulated starter pack for top science and science communicators and there are 58 men, 27 women, the rest orgs based in the US, and 95% white. Maybe, just maybe, do a bit of curation and check your biases and show some care with what you put out into the wild.

This is a heartbreaking and crucial report of a preventable death, but unfortunately, @propublica.org yet again failed to mention a key detail: the hospital's religious affiliation.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

This is more sinister activity from Xitter. Younis Tirawi’s account in Palestine, followed by many top reporters has been systematically de-followed by a ‘bug’ at X (not a bug clearly) . Consequently has lost almost 100k followers

I just don't get why an acc with 418K followers cares if Some Guy has them on a block list. How does being blocked hurt anyone???
Beware. This guy is adding good people to block lists. Check block lists before you subscribe and block all. Toxic people used them a while back on Twitter to hurt good people for personal reasons.

Don’t do this shit.

Don’t call Elon “Elonia” and think it’s funny. It’s gross and you are going to be added to my block list.
Misgendering to be funny or score points is middle school insult shit.

Fucking tool.

I say this with love and empathy to Dee and a lot of other folks on here:

The cavalry is not coming.

The closest thing to a cavalry there is, is us.

Trump is going to be president. Dems will not stand up to him without our militant pressure.

There is hope, but we have to be our own saviors.
I need some kind of hope to survive. I know this country will be unrecognizable after 4 years of these treacherous monsters, but I will hold out hope that reason will step in before inauguration. Hope that a recount is happening. Hope that the real law will step up and save this country. 🤷‍♀️ Hope 🙏

It's just pure hatred. Meanwhile, Dems are acting like this is about sports. More than 15k active duty troops could be immediately discharged. They could immediately lose all veterans and GI benefits depending on how they're discharged.
