OK, it's more of Dachau. Good catch! Do you really think it helps to fight authoritarianism when we discuss WHAT KIND of a concentration camp it is?

@durbin.senate.gov - what are you doing to help?
You going to vote no, right? They literally lie. Did you learn nothing?
Hey so what are you doing about kidnappings and Salvadoran concentration camps? I think we have a handle on polio for now...

Seeing US move to authoritarian hellscape Soviet Union was - using all the tactics, is surreal. My family literally fled this.
This should be discussed more. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
bsky.app/profile/bigc... i guess it's "states rights" only when harrassing lgbtqi+ people, and letting women bleed in parking lots by not performing life saving procedures. Seeing calls to dismiss in this case for not having jurisdiction, so that's promising.
bsky.app/profile/esqu... so not being able to vote again is a thing.
Every study will point out there are miniscule differences especially after 2 years on hormones. Latest studies will point out that with hormones, it's harder for trans women to compete with a maybe larger body but less lung capacity.
The differences are miniscule. It's like having been born with longer arms or taller. You're taking away human rights where there's no harm done. Where are all the trans gold medalists? You're for harrassing kids for a made up problem - so must be a HUGE issue. Trans gold medalists everywhere.
And what is an advantage? Will you argue as passionately about Michael Phelps' long arms and unique genetics? At which point is very tall an unfair advantage? Or do you just focused on terrorizing trans women for some reason?
There's no advantage from being trans. If there was, every trans athlete (I'm assuming you mean trans women) should be taking first places , every time. Trans gold medalists should be everywhere. They're not. It's a red herring. It's about GOP wanting votes, distraction of $$$$ cost of everything
And when you present the evidence of repeated trans women and girls taking medals from cis women - as in they get gold every time - how do you explain the losses ? When trans women lose to cis women - are you equally concerned?
Being treated equally is a human right. Why is this an issue for you? Where are the boards of trans girls and women taking gold medals from cis women? I don't think you really care about women's sports. You want to slowly chip away at human rights of a group of people.
The lake was angry this morning #chicago #lakemichigan
You can't be for "some" human rights. Sorry, those are the rules. Opposing trans women in sports is a proven non issue. You made up a problem that doesn't exist. And smart people learned that if you give in on one absurd idea that strips people of rights, it won't stop there.
We have proof the "next you will ..." and what it is. It started with "protect kids " and now we're at "kick trans people out of military, erase them from history and government data, and change their passports ". IT IS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENED. It included a non issue of trans women in sports.
You do not speak for all cos women. Chill. Nothing is lost for cis people when we fight for trans rights. Maybe Twitter is more your people?

And then I saw that it was you who posted it
I was like omg, "I need to show this to Joan " 😂
I mean yeah, Trump will try to backstab Zelensky again and claim victory.
Provoked by... being sovereign nations? So Finland asking to join NATO should not be allowed because ....Russia said so? The countries Russia hasn't invaded OR occupied - are in NATO. Weird... how that works. Z propaganda is hell of a drug.

bsky.app/profile/dart... f*ck Chomsky. Russia wiped out cities, annexed sovereign territory, occupying territory, kidnapped kids, etc. But you won't feel superior by pointing that out. So you need Chomsky's hot take 🙄
bsky.app/profile/nyti... that's his plan for measles too. Good luck everyone
It's so sad that Illinois senator surrendered to Republican extortion. @durbin.senate.gov please consider having a spine. You handed our tax dollars to this administration so they can continue to terrorize people in US. The government is already shutdown.

Trump administration is screwing over seniors with Musk's teenage engineers earning 6 figures to make seniors work harder to get benefits. #ssa #trump #musk #ourtaxdollarsatwork want to find your local ssa office? Sorry, a billionaire and "big balls" are making stuff "efficient ".
Also, @onestpress.bsky.social when you go to www.ssa.gov/manage-benef... and click on Call Your Local Office - it goes to page not found.
I am wondering how and when Elon will be thrown under the bus. Or are we so past this point - and Musk and his money are so ingrained into this administration that everyone will just shrug it off?

You count this as a win? You don't see total defeatist tone of "IF" they're reinstated? No one is going"well, trans people are erased, migrants are in concentration camps, president is literally acting to help the enemy- BUT- illegally fired federal workers will have time counted IF hired! Yippee"
Pictures and normal human language. Weird how it works
Ohio's Yost and other radical right wing DAs wants to force righwing indoctrination into public schools. Religious schools are always an option...
I hope he makes it back. Both Saudi Arabia and Russia are known for shady stuff. It weirdly feels like a trap again.
www.npr.org/2025/01/15/n... when you control the government, you control the narrative.
This will mess up a lot of lives as GOP's obsession with trans people is put into EO www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-make... @schumer.senate.gov - will Dems grow a spine and oppose this or just wave signs in colorful outfits?
This dealership is in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Chicago. Most residents are probably supportive of their barely paid taxes going to cops protecting tesla dealership.
The fact that countries and leaders still argue about sending help to Ukraine is mind boggling.
bsky.app/profile/aas.... trump and musk don't know or care about scientific research. Musk probably wants to replace everything nasa with his exploding space ships.
bsky.app/profile/amen... this is valid research and great, however scary, data. But.. there are never polls on how many people support heterosexual marriage.
bsky.app/profile/ones... "we called democrats slurs and harras trans representatives, took funds away from those kids with cancer we parade around, created concentration camps from people fleeing death... and Democrats... made noises while not listening with reverence?? How dare they!"

bsky.app/profile/ket.... what are @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov and rest of democrats @democraticparty.bsky.social doing about trans people being scapegoated and erased? How will you prevent a new attack?

bsky.app/profile/jake... he's trash. Admitting you were a crap human from early on is not a flex. Denying trans people rights because creepy cis males admit wanting to commit SA crimes? Maybe cis males need a bathroom chaperone to make sure they use the right bathroom?
bsky.app/profile/patt... people who are stripping government for parts are really concerned what real leaders fighting off invadors are wearing.
bsky.app/profile/mili... i am embarrassed that these assholes are sitting in the Whitehouse, while Ukraine is singlehandedly holding off Russia from invading useful, strategic partners. Vance speaking down to someone like that... gross.
I guess you should have given Ukraine weapons they asked for in the past 3 years, instead of letting some weapons trickle in as people died. Please tell me you actually learned something from this @schumer.senate.gov
Thank you for actually saying WHAT you are doing to help people! Please train the others.
From what I noticed, the right can fixate on an issue, 'big idea' and go after it. Like abortion or immigration. The left hasn't had a uniting idea since 'fight for $15' - which is currently irrelevant. The left frames itself as "not the right" which is not effective.
bsky.app/profile/erin... they're going down the list of scapegoats - migrants, trans people, all of lgbtqi + community. It will be eventually everyone as conservatives have no real solutions to anything.
You don't speak for all of us lol.
bsky.app/profile/thef... eww. Imagine being ok with your last performance funding a gross transphobe.
Yep. Normal people got vaccines. Republicans didn't. And died.
You had 3 years to give Ukraine weapons it needed. You all decided to spoon feed them old weaponry , while Russia was killing civilians, occupying Ukraine and destroying its infrastructure. Where were you?
bsky.app/profile/ones... US was already compensated as newer weapons were built to replace old ones. But Russia could make up whatever else US thinks they're owed.
Bernie voted against aid to Ukraine. But sure, why not.
Why didn't Democrats give Ukraine military aid it wanted vs. Spoon feeding the weapons, giving Russia chance to kill these civilians you now care about? Where were you when Crimea was occupied? Where was NATO?
bsky.app/profile/ones...
bsky.app/profile/geor... it's a horrible book full of half truths, so I'm kinda torn. Lol
I also like... don't post everything i do or think or believe on social media. Because I do things in real life.
Like I joined this social media platform after Trump got elected. I was supposed to praise democrats ... for having dinosaur message, dragging their feet on every progressive idea, courting Republicans... again. And losing. This level of unquestioning dem devotion... is strange.
Ah yes, wanting to help my community directly as many more will be destitute is tiresome, but pretending the dems aren't run by a bunch of dinosaurs using talking points from decades ago is that we need. No one is asking you die, just actually use strategies from this century. Geeez so dramatic
Because it's their job? We voted for them. It's not saving me, it's literally doing their jobs as politicians. And in this day and age, it involves communication. Having a succession plan in place so they're not so old and out of touch, but teaching others to lead.
I think a lot of people stayed home who are not Maga. Appealing to rightwingers failed, so probably not a good idea to focus on them. There are people "like me" who also stayed home because dems didn't communicate what they will actually do while rendering to the right.
And I do strengthen my community. In my case, it doesn't have anything to do with my local dem party.
They're doing nothing of the sort. I have not joined the Dem party as they don't do anything besides ask for donations. Do I vote dem, yes. Do I think dems have been phoning it in for a while by being "not Republicans " vs having their own big idea - yes.
You can export read only data... it's infuriating that people think read only is some magic shield.
