MANY ARE UPSET THAT I THINK MY REELECTION IS LOCKED UP

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Text that says toy Time Galaxy Luigi's purple coins. The level is an eight bit interpretation of Luigi with 100 tiny purple coins scattered over each pixel, it is a very difficult level

Got my order from @canopyrobin.com super quick even though they're from across the pond! I have a few ideas where some of these are gonna go...

A large trans flag sticker, some stickers with the text "we've been here the whole time" with trans flag colored loops like the ones from the show game changer, a pin with the lesbian flag and trans colors coming in from the side like a progress flag

There's enough wrong with this movie before stepping in the theater that Tron is now just the two movies, the cartoon and a few video games.
I figured Tron Legacy would be my last after it's reception so I'm just gonna keep it that way in my head

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming “do something!” also screaming “not like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

I worked at comic shop when they came out and they really piqued a lot of interest that wasn't there before. I think they become normalized enough that they're not really special, so I imagine at some point they'll do another line to bring people in

I keep watching Mamdani's video in disbelief of how good it is... centering BIPOC trans street activism, SOPHIE soundtrack, pivoting to supporting funds for trans housing and healthcare...

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 3d

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Sometimes I have the sudden realization that I can just sit here in my bra, and then 30 seconds to 30 minutes later I realize I don’t even need that. It’s like following euphoria with a more comfortable euphoria.
