People abbreviating "no kings" to "nk" makes me think of one my favorite writers, No Kings Jemisin.

Reminder that the government and media will create an environment hostile to your existence, and then - when someone fed by that hate murders you - the government will use your death to propagate policies that further marginalize your existence.

Joe Powell MP @joepowell.bsky.social · 14h

Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice my civil and human rights is an existential threat to me and I will respond to them that way. Trans people are not your acceptable losses. Neither are immigrants. Neither are Palestinians. We all get out together or we don't get out of this at all.

I don't have a common purpose with people who wish me dead.

Their common purpose is wanting me dead, and my common purpose is EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE PEOPLE

Hi Melissa I'm not demanding ideological purity, I'm a trans man demanding that my civil rights not be sacrificed. I am demanding that I be allowed to live with dignity and with access to medical care that I depend on to survive. No one's civil rights are negotiable. Due process is not negotiable.

Melissa Chan @melissakchan.bsky.social · 2d

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Other than the guaranteed shiny Mareep side quest, I found TWO (2) other shinies- Pidgey and Skiddo- today

@cannabunnyol.bsky.social is a pillar of salt 😉

Z-A has been running really well, and looks fairly nice for the Switch (aside from the flat buildings)

And I can run around with tiny skiddo at my side, which make up for a lot x3

And also: we should be encouraging every form of resistance. Anyone contributing. We can do that while also guiding towards and educating about other forms.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 2d

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Disabled people should be allowed to get married without losing our healthcare. We shouldn’t have to choose between weddings and staying alive. In 2025 we still have no marriage rights or property rights. We never have, and it’s total shit. Fuck Eugenics, we deserve so much better.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Okay, yeah I see what you're getting at now, and it makes sense in terms of community involvement and solidarity with all trans people, vs just those most like oneself
