Please check on the trans people in your life today.

The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.

Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.

We can’t let them get away with it.

Trans rights are human rights.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.

It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.

This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

Seems correct.
If little boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails, and little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, our resident expert has informed us that little nonbinaries are made of pineapple, cats, and demon rats.

So it's wrong to say the name of the person who killed a civilian without cause? It's wrong to say the name Jonathan Ross? Ok. Good to know.
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

No matter what kind of whitewashing propaganda is put out by corrupt institutions, there are still archives of photography, recordings, and accounts that counter the "official" falsehoods. You might find this link useful if you run into rewritten memories?

The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.

Stop lying to the American people.

Thinking there are no kind people in the world? Think again.

i hope this season, whatever you celebrate or may be struggling through, brings you a bit of peace somewhere.

this may be a message for you. maybe just give it a call.

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.

It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

I once again reiterate that cis people do not understand that what is being called for is the torture of trans children en masse. They do not even conceptualize our suffering and cannot feel the same level of outrage. They will deny the possibility that a "natural puberty" can be horrific. They are

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Just when I think "there's an example of a decent man" he has to do a misogyny.
When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.

It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Did you know that the quokka, aka Australia's Apex Predator, can climb up to 2 metres in search of food?

Did you also know that most humans are shorter than 2 metres in height?
