It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Everywhere he went, Ed Markey's biggest applause line was about protecting trans people. The Massholes yearn for trans liberation.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Any frank assessment of your achievements starts with an equally frank assessment of the world-historic forces that attended those achievements. For example, I often tell people who want to get into tech, "If you lack the foresight and work ethic to be born in 1971, I can't really help you." 1/

LMAOOOOOOOOOO somebody finally asked the transphobes if they know any WNBA players besides and NOPE

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

i encounter so many truly enraging things every day that i’m baffled by the people posting shit takes as a joke to see who can enrage people the most. fuck off with that shit! immediate unfollow

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism

fuck Stephen Lynch

1. lust ≠ love 2. sexual harassment and sexual assault happens even to tall, strong men 3. you never know what demons that “perfect specimen” is battling beneath the facade 4. may love find and bless each and every one of you

Reporter: "Trump is saying Iran tried to assassinate him in Turkey." 🇮🇷Araghchi: "No. There is absolutely no need for it." 🇺🇸Reporter: "Why?" 🇮🇷Araghchi: "Trump is already destroying the United States. We don't want to eliminate him." Araghchi is a strategic genius 🤣 👏

that’s fucking right

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/

mixing up lose and loose

Since Congressman Seth Moulton keeps falling for manufactured right wing moral panics…. I just have to assume he’s not very bright.

Americans will never find an ally in Arthur Sulzberger’s nyt. He is as committed to authoritarian extremism as Trump is. Sulzberger’s news outlet promotes anti-Muslim and neo-segregation positions 🧵

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Today we painted Louisa’s Ghost Bike. It used to be Jessica Mink’s bike. Since 2015, I’ve created about 30 ghost bikes, but this one was the hardest to make so far. I couldn’t have done it without my best friend and brother Galen Mook. We Need Each Other. #NoMoreGhostBikes

Vigil to honor Louisa Gag at Boston City Hall and Call for Urgent Street-Safety Action. Thursday July 16 at 5:30pm Attendees are encouraged to wear yellow in support of Vision Zero.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.

holy shit i love science 😭

i wish Pochettino wouldn’t start Balogun tonight. regardless of how we feel about the fairness of his card, let’s try to win this game with honor. corrupt regimes should wither away

I think you should have more kindness for USMNT fans who first reacted to the decision before thinking through the full future implications of it all. I had a moment of joy before becoming concerned. That is a normal human reaction.

Every penny bet on wildfires should be seized by federal and state agencies for the explicit and exclusive purpose of recruiting, training, and retaining wildland firefighters. Nobody should be allowed to profit from human suffering

this is not why i call musk a fascist

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Centrist Democrats wanted us to cast some people aside in order to expand the tent and win? Great. We agreed. We choose to cast out ... them. They should just hold their nose and go along like they expected trans people to go along right? They know what to do with this play; they invented it.

it's not groundbreaking to say Twitter is so bad but it's still jawdropping how bad it really is
