China has a huge LBGTQ population (obviously) and acceptance among the population (especially youth) has grown significantly over the past three decades since decriminalization, yet the government still drags its feet over legal recognition and protection.
Hopefully that changes in the future.

SCOOP: China's top 2 gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, became unavailable on app stores over the weekend. Apple confirmed to WIRED that it removed the two apps following "an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China."

Imagine killing 600,000 black and brown people with a few keystrokes and not having a care in the world but one little old white lady drags you on Twitter and you spiral for a week.

You should be looking up instead of left to right. Class solidarity is a MUST.
It's a mistake to think of the so-called "red states" as your enemies instead of as your potential allies who've been captured by the fash and abandoned by Dem electeds on a national scale because of the theoretical "blue wall" that was supposed to be enough as opposed to a 50-state strategy.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. Or a social media app. She was murdered in cold blood with knives plunged into her 28 times by two 15-year-olds fed a constant stream of hate and dehumanization by UK corporate media and the UK government.
Two teenagers were radicalized by the transphobic political climate into seeing a 15 year old girl as less than human. They killed the girl, and then the girl's grieving mother chose to embark on a moral panic crusade against "self-harm", acquitting the actual perpetrators of her daughter's demise.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" was the biggest electoral failure in recent history down to a very conceptual level.

You kind of look at how much Christianity has irrevocably fucked up everything and you kinda wish that it remained some backwoods desert cult
Fucking hate Christianity dude. Medieval death cult we gave respect to instead of chasing out of refined society similar to ideas like witchcraft and bodily humors.

You will not eat the funny gummy. You will not smoke the reefers. You will not watch the fun weird porn you like. You will work and you will pray and you will die and all will be well.

It's why they still freak out over porn in any shape. It will never be clean and safe enough for them to stop. They're mad that people masturbate. We are not dealing with serious individuals.

One thing that's awesome about having a government dominated by weird Christians is that they get really mad whenever you have fun in a way that isn't in devotion to their weird made up dad

Tesla's latest gambit: become a rental car company. As cars pile up in showrooms and storage lots, Elon is trying to rent his way out of a crisis. Good luck, bud. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall electrek.co/2025/11/10/t...
Tesla can’t sell its cars anymore so it is renting them now
Tesla is launching a new car rental program out of its stores in the US, as sales are crashing due...
