also, again, gettin reall fuckin tired of gender being a treat i only get for being a good they bsky.app/profile/sky....
Just chiming in to second this from the enby experience; I have been explicitly accused of being a gender traitor for both a. Being a member of the Bergen county democratic committee and b. Being an economist in manufacturing. I’ve also been accused of straight up “faking it” which is…. Not fun!
it is absolutely a thing that happens that if a trans person is trying to be a regular person who belongs to the normal political party that supports their rights, members of The Community will "call them in" and tell them that their insufficient radicalism should embarass them

Slavery didn’t end because the slave owners came to their senses and developed morals. They literally fought to the death to try to uphold it. Their ancestors still celebrate the institution to this day.

Thanks Zach Snyder. This is all your fault. Anyone who blames this on Pressfield is making the false assumption these people read.

FEMA camps conspiracy theory
The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement, L' that the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison
United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. 1112)(3114] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme
versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. 12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmht6n3frexsulkabk4vtrdm/bafkreib3lxmxbiovqymtftmsk5nu2lvdneqvusa3sjg6bomfy2dgltolq4@jpeg)

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I bonded with Virginia a few years back over a mutual fascination with Edge.org. I recognised its influence years ago, even pitched a piece on it...but I did not seethe ideology beneath the 'science' Epstein/Brockman promoted which @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social lays bare

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

I hate this - I love the #SvenSquad, but these Corman SyFy channel films are just so bad. And it’s so late… makes it so hard to stay up.
I wish they’d do the classics like mainline #Svengoolie. Because all three have got the chops to send up the good stuff.

One of the terrible things about the ICE occupation of Minneapolis is that they’ve been doing stuff that is so crazy that people assume it’s some kind of exaggeration, despite being widely documented on video. Following observers home! Lurking outside elementary schools! Black-bagging citizens!
