This is literally Holocaust revisionism and I would like people to see the memorial in front of the Reichstag to members who were killed by the Nazis the vast majority of whom were killed for being communists- each slab is a known member

Ah yes, the “We are defenders of women’s rights which means women get no rights and trans women no longer get to exist” argument made by the next wave of Real™️ Feminists: conservative white cishet men.

How much evil stupidity can our planet take before she ejects us all into space?

1. AOC scathingly rebuked anti-trans activist Riley Gaines Monday in the form of a single sentence.

"Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth."

Its part of a new wave of Dems being fearless on trans rights.

I had a wild week recently with another woman I met on Her. Our attraction burned as bright as a magnesium flame and just as strongly burnt us out into panic attacks and that was it.

But thanks to her I got the courage to pursue sapphic literature, lesbian and queer bands and I feel so at home now

2025 has a way of bringing oldies back into relevance.

Actually the whole album is now relevant, especially “Are You Feeling Fascist?”

Can’t believe I’m saying this but maybe a nuclear winter might just be what we need to stop destroying Earth’s ability to sustain life.

I’d like to see the oligarchs try to survive a bunch of angry, hungry raiders as their shitty billion-dollar bunkers inevitably fail and force them out with us.

The corpses are still warm and the assholes just can’t help themselves with their greed. How about we redirect those exports to Ukraine or stockpile them to defend Europe?

Glad they’re trying to restore Malintzin to her truth. Her effort to bridge the gap between the Spanish invaders and the Aztecs deserves praise not scorn.

I’m tired of us women being perpetually blamed as traitors, temptresses and ruiners when men should owe the fuck up for their shit.

The Heritage Foundation is pushing for a legal definition of “trans terrorism”.

I ask you, was Von Stauffenberg a terrorist?
Was Sophie Scholl, beheaded by the Nazis, a terrorist?
Were the Edelweiss Pirates, kids who fought the Hitler Youth, terrorists?

No. They fought for justice and democracy.

Trolling the law by “identifying” as a trans woman immediately after the self-determination law was passed doesn’t mean that Self-ID is wrong. It means you need to safeguard against abusive use of the law.

Ghoul certainly gloated about pretending to be trans to “own the libs”. Search their socials!
