the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

So this was an interesting article by the wonderful @becksup.bsky.social in today's Chronicle of Higher Ed, and while its focus is primarily the trump "compact" and its attention to grading, I was struck by this passage, part of a larger discussion of the purported lack of "rigor". Brief 🧵:

Frederick M. Hess, a senior fellow and the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, linked the pro-Palestinian student-protest movement to grade inflation and a lack of sufficient academic expectations at elite colleges in a 2023 article in the National Review, calling out “studies” majors on gender and race in particular. “There’s the sense here,” Hess said in an interview with The Chronicle, that “by focusing on rigor, you are also addressing the areas where those of us on the right fear that there’s been the most drift into self-indulgence and ideology.”

I remember in peak BLM protests after the Mike Brown and the Stokley verdict when right wingers wouldn't shut up about protesters taking highways and blocking ambulances. "What if an ambulance can't get where its going!!" Now crickets.

There it is...Trump calls for the arrest of the mayor of Chicago and Governor Pritzker.

So, for all the incrementalists in denial...are we there yet? 🤔
- Did we cross the line into authoritarianism yet?
- Is it fascism yet?
- Is he "joking"?

He & Stephen Miller want civil war.

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Maybe believe that entire swathes of progressives actually hold the value of caring about human rights…and you’ll see very swiftly how that becomes non-negotiable.

We aren’t dying on the hill of trans rights.

YOU are dying on the hill of sacrificing human rights.

Get it right.

When US citizen Leo Garcia Venegas tried to prove his identity by showing federal agents his REAL ID, they dismissed it as a fake and kept him detained, releasing him only after they bothered to run his Social Security number.

Just a few weeks later, they detained him again:

Mass Deportation Is A Threat To Us All

Aided by the Supreme Court and the insidious "Kavanaugh stop," the administration's chaotic mass deportation operations are sweeping up Americans – including children and U.S. military veterans.
