Currently happening: this is a group of trans and queer people in Sudan who are being forcibly expelled from a refugee camp. There is no plan to re-house them, no community care, no nothing. Some have been relocated with donated money, some are living on borrowed time.

Give a damn?

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.

And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.

So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Conquering and colonization is the way people acquired land at that time in history. It was uncivilized and involved violence and yet that's how land was acquired.

You fought over it and, if you won, it became yours. I acknowledge that's how America came to be. I also acknowledge colonization was a bad thing for indigenous populations.

But I think you're reaching pretty far to try to claim America is an ongoing illegal occupation in present day.

Weird little guys, probly

When mysterious things go wrong for a trans woman, there is at least a 1000% chance that it was a weird little guy

We are in a war. The fact that we are not fighting* back does not change that

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

Normalize caring about other people.

They deserve to live and thrive. Everyone does.

More journalists should do this.

If the fascists won’t answer a question, stop letting them talk.

Don’t let them spin lies and propaganda.

If Trump won’t take questions from outlets he doesn’t “like”…
The White House press corps should stand together & walk out.

Just like the Pentagon.

Good morning! It's a great day to oh fuck I still live in the United States.

A selfie. I'm wearing a Hellfire Club T-shirt, a spiked choker with a ram skull pendant, and glasses. I've got my hair in a bun. My makeup is pale with big smoky, sparkly eyes. I'm smiling.

so many Americans all "taking a step back" at the same time like we don't see what's going on

they're abnegating responsibility in our collective fate because they're scared to get involved

take a step forward and read the goddamn news! clueless cowards!

"Ha, that is totally me"
"I do that but my psychiatrist doesn't know what a meltdown looks like"
"That explains a lot about my whole life"
"How tf did nobody catch this when I was a kid"
