Eu reconheço alguns destes comportamentos dos meus anos do Liceu Maria Amália. Não era bonito e eu fui complacente de muita coisa e participante até em alguma. Isso foi há quarenta anos quase. Como é possível que depois de tudo o que se passou este machismo continue e prolifere?
machismo tóxico: A violência sexual perpetrada sobre raparigas menores por rapazes menores tem sido 1 absoluto tabu. E a escola, como diz ao DN 1 adolescente d 16 anos, continua a ignorar o assunto - mais ainda agora,devido à guerra aberta contra a educação p a igualdade. www.dn.pt/sociedade/ma...

Devastating. May her memory bless everyone who knew her.
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

I think we all need this thread for the coming year.
I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. Plus why would I give them what they want, as premature surrender? Thanks Senator Schatz.
Be furious be angry but despondency is what they want from us. And be very suspicious of people on the left who say “we are cooked” or whatever. Imagine the civil rights movement, or suffrage, or any movement for change, hitting a roadblock and just “saying well we are well and truly fucked now.”
