Ah, yes. Let's invite the wolf to discuss the sheep oversight framework.

Happy Pride Month to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community! In the prism of the darkest of rain-haunted night, in moonlight we split in all colours bright. Remember, we all resolve into one. You're right to have pride. Have power in your stride. You'll be alright. #PrideMonth #LGBhugtheT #LGBTQIA+

It's sad that a day like May 17th is needed. But it will remain so, until it has become a given. Let's make it the default. Let's celebrate IDIC 🖖🏻. Let's make it so.

I guess she was to made to do to much work, spinning Trump's words on this one. Why can't spreading propaganda be easy? Woe is me!

This is Geert Wilders to Donald Trump. A Dutch Far-Right politician. Behaving like a child. Telling on another Dutch politician, Rob Jetten. Mr. Jetten is just being correct here. And to put the cherry on top of the Fascism cake, Wilders also crawls underneath Viktor Orban's desk.

The Stop Killing Games initiative has just reached it's signature goal. It is now important that it goes way over a million. This because a buffer is needed, due to people who sign double or who aren't EU citizens. And are thus invalid. After that, the hard part, ... #StopKillingGames

What I find interesting, is that the people crying about Hunter Schafer possibly being cast as Zelda. Are the same people who cry, it's called acting, when a fuzz is made that a disabled character is not played by a disabled person. Or a black cartoon character is not played by a black actor. ...

... But, now that we're talking about a trans person, all of a sudden, it matters what group they're a part of. Even if we are to follow along with the incorrect/transphobic premise that Mrs. Schafer is a man. By their own standard, they shouldn't care. It's, after all, called acting. And...

... before they make, that, argument. First, find me a real elf. Only then, will we have an argument whether she would be taking the role away from a marginalized group or not. The main reason they're throwing their, "principle", off of a ten story building, is because they are transphobic.

Here is one of the few pieces of good news during the current regime in the United States. Now it's time for the other states, in this union, to become united, in this effort. And finally end child marriage. And, if you support child marriage, well, I don't think I need to state what you are.

NEW: Alternative Science™. Now excl. peer review. After all, hypotheses are all you need, if they agree with you. Brought to you by the regime that previously brought you Alternative Facts™. Soon, with consequences to issues affecting you and your loved ones. The Party cares, just not about you.

This corruption is not surprising at all. But, it's good to have as many receipts as possible. Also, Sex Matters being registered as a human rights charity, how Orwellian.

Good, hopefully this block becomes permanent. And since this attempted barring of international students will already have done a lot of harm that won't be reversed by a block. This admin should be forced to pay for those damages. I heard Trump recently got a plane. He could sell that to pay for it.

Harvard sues Trump administration over move to bar international students. "And despite statements from both sides indicating a willingness to compromise, the attacks on Harvard have continued..." Complying with this type of government, aside from being the wrong thing to do, also doesn't work.

Now, to go back to the specific issue of the enrollment of foreign students. Is this a distraction? Yes and no. The timing is almost certainly a distraction from that bill the #GOP just passed in the House. But the acts of taking away academic freedoms, cutting of funding, etc, are anything but.

Stand with @harvard.edu now. Before all that will be taught in universities will be that which is approved by The Party. Calling this just a distraction, is a disservice to everyone. Calling out and trying to defend against the erosion of rights, freedoms and institutions ≠ getting distracted.

They want, amongst other things, to erase the history on many subjects. For example, to name just one subject here. N-word history, as they call it in their heads. That needs to go, because, *checks notes*, it's D.E.I.. D.E.I., just like woke, obviously meaning, amongst other things, the n-word. ...

... For example in response to charging Mrs. McIver, Trump says and I quote, “The days of woke are over." He claims not to know her. Let's go with that lie shall we. If you don't know her, then I wonder what it is you could glean from a picture of her. I wonder what it is that makes her woke.

For managed democracy! For freedom! 😮‍💨. "(Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he had selected a design for the $175-billion Golden Dome missile defense shield and named a Space Force general to head the ambitious program aimed at blocking threats from China and Russia."

Ah yes, getting rid of political opponents the 'legal' way. "Attorney General Pam Bondi has repeatedly accused the Biden administration of having weaponized the Justice Department ..." They do like their accusations in the mirror, don't they?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Exclusive: Federal prosecutors across the country may soon be able to indict members of Congress without approval from lawyers in the Justice Department. If adopted, the changes would remove a layer of review intended to ensure that cases against public officials are not politically motivated.

More people should know about what the Alliance Defending Freedom is. The ADF is a hate organisation intend on, amongst other things, achieving the eradication of homosexuality and transgender people. To all those LGB drop the T folks. These people want to get rid of all the letters, not just one.

Here’s last night’s story about the Alliance Defending Freedom, the legal organization behind several landmark Supreme Court cases, and the theological importance of the pink fairy armadillo. youtu.be/sCAuHH5EYnE

So, in a country where we have the @democrats.org party who considers trans people a mere distraction, just another culture war topic. And the #GOP, who is looking for a solution to the trans question. Trans rights are considered a topic of debate. As if people's rights are still a matter where...

... there are two sides of equal value. There is not. There is in fact, a wrong side. And what do we see? A lot of coverage of right-wing "concerned citizens". But when it's time to cover the consequences of right-wing hate campaigns against trans people. All I hear is 🦗s. Or more accurately 🦗🦗🦗s.

If they had a spine they would just admit that it has something to do with the meme below. I mean, these kinds of beliefs are bad enough on their own. But, if you think that way, at least say it with your chest. Because now, on top of your horrible beliefs, you throw contempt for people's intellect.

Here is another reminder, that Gender Criticals/Trans Exclusionary "Feminists" can scream that 2+2=5 all they want. It's however, never coming true. So, GCs/TERFs, you go ahead and move on to the issue of race, *cough*. I mean immigration. ...

Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. Read the motion below 👇 BMA-wide policy is set at the Annual Representative Meeting (ARM) in June 2025.

"Watson Coleman's office says they reviewed the body cam footage and that it proves "nobody 'assaulted' any agents."" Really, the Gestapo, who just want to silence political opposition for the regime, lied. Look below for a selfie of my reaction to this news.

DHS confirms to @axios.com that they are considering arresting Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver and Rob Menendez. Watson Coleman's office says they reviewed the body cam footage and that it proves "nobody 'assaulted' any agents." More here: www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

DHS is now threatening elected officials with arrests. This comes as the Trump regime is also looking into getting rid of habeas corpus. So that complaint of wrongful detention can no longer be made. You're guilty! What? You're guilty. Because the Party says so.
