She/her The more I can separate transphobia from my transness, the more joy I feel in myself.

you can question it, that's fine, but this article makes it sound like this is the worst conspiracy since deep throat- which completely ignores the heritage foundation has been playing this exact strategy for years. This is a step far beyond "both sidesism" and swings into just being anti left.
It's using tactics of the right to smear left leaning influencers over industry standard practices. Frankly, people smell the bullshit.
Reading through the article, it uses colored words like "dark money" and "secretive organizations" to scare people into distrusting left leaning influencers. But does very little leg work in explaining why with actual examples.
A year ago today, Trump threatened to jail Zuckerberg for the rest of his life. Today, Trump is helping Meta win regulatory battles around the world. I wrote about everything that Zuckerberg has gotten from Trump 2.0 so far: www.platformer.news/trump-zucker...
When Republicans cut Medicaid, they cut funding to hospitals. When they cut hospital funding, they cut critical hospital staff. When they cut hospital staff, it puts lives at risk. Just another consequence of the GOP's Big Ugly Bill.
Really not great that this ketamine addled piece of shit is using an entire social media network he bought to spread blatant lies and go after trans people because he couldn't accept his own trans daughter.
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
It really is K-mart discount brand fascism. It's like they ordered printed wrinkled posters undersized on Temu.
An insane level of investment for a product built primarily on baseless hype.
"Hillel’s posture leaves Jews dependent on temporary special privileges granted by an authoritarian regime. My people are deemed useful as an excuse for cracking down on other groups. For now."

The Trump administration directs 40 states, five territories and Washington, D.C. to remove references to transgender people from their sex education programs or risk losing federal funding.
You have quite a strange comment section, ngl. Nobody seems to use leftist democrat or liberal in the same way, so I'm not sure what you mean by DSA leftist. I consider myself a leftist, I still mask when in public. I also get vaccinated when I can.
So will all those DSA leftists start masking again?? Or will they keep aligning with the extreme far right to maximize the unmitigated spread of disease
Acknowledging that we are living under a fascist regime at the Federal level is essential for figuring out how to fight. And I'm sorry but burying one's head in the sand at this moment is actually allowing fascism to be further entrenched & authority more easily consolidated.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
even if it was “just” mississippi, THAT’S BAD ENOUGH. coincidentally, it’s just behind DC for highest percentage of black americans (38%) and it’s home to 16.1k trans adults and it’s been captured by bigots since…since it became a state? mississippi is worth fighting for!
And don’t y’all dare (to continue to) abandon us. Many of the things you love about the U.S. were born, built, and fought for in Mississippi. There is no path forward without us.
I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.
The Smithsonian tried to avoid being targeted by the Trump administration by not exhibiting a portrait of a Black trans statue of liberty. They are being targeted for it anyways. Capitulation never works.
The White House listed an exhibit on LGBTQ history at the Smithsonian as objectionable and something to be removed.
During a hearing today in Texas on the trans bathroom bill, a man publicly threatened in the hearing room to mutilate trans women and cut off their genitalia.

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
Said the man who's party spent 280 million dollars and the first 100 days in office attacking trans people. It's about human rights. And how republican's don't want anyone else to have them.

You can't 'both sides' hate. You can't both sides genocide. Children are starving in gaza. Transphobia is not justification for transphobic legislation, just as racism is not enough to justify jim crow era legislation. There are many things in this world of astounding complexity, hate isn't one.
Whitewashing history.
9. This happened to a high school student in Minnesota, for example, who was harassed by a waiter in a Buffalo Wild Wings bathroom. A similar story transpired in Arizona, where a teenager was accosted by male police officers inside a Walmart women’s room. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The federal government is seeking to bring charges against trans people for displaying a trans pride flag. Yes, you read that right.

Larry "Fox" Mitchell shared the story of his grandma being burned alive by the Klu Klux Klan in North Carolina in 2012 and what motivated him to become a community protector. Fox, who recently passed away, was with the MN Freedom Fighters during the summer of 2020 and the George Floyd Uprising.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...
We must as Americans stop arming Israel. And Israelis must bring down Netanyahu. May the memory of Anas Al Sharif and the memories of all who died on October 7 and beyond be for more than a blessing. May their memories pressure us to move beyond the horror of the present to end this war and rebuild

Transphobes don't need sympathy, they need to be held accountable.
You can fire trans people, jail them, remove them from loved ones and hrt, bully them into ending things, they will have been trans all the way to the grave. You make a transphobe experience literally any consequences, they learn to tow the line real quick.
Trans/cis is an aspect of who you are Transphobia is a thing you can do.

It was because of my video about how I personally do not want to be nice to Nazis who regret voting for Trump because they are personally hurt by one of his policies. He may have made some good points but I didn't watch past the first minute youtu.be/veGq9gcmc2E

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president. www.military.com/daily-news/i...

I think Indiana has some of the worst anti trans legislation to date. They left the decision of if a trans person is allowed to use a public restroom "up to the districts" So, it's basically banned, but they want you to try so they can fine jail and/or assault you.
And ai will still tell me to eat things that aren't food, launder things that can't be laundered, and break anything I put it in.

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back. If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism. apnews.com/article/ap-p...

There really are no good choices with interest rates, BTW: -Cut rates to boost the labor market when inflation is still hot, risk driving up inflation even more -Keep rates the same, nothing really changes and unemployment probably goes up -Raise rates to kick inflation, unemployment spikes
