I research things and write about them (as a hobby) and I volunteer a lot. Opinions are my own.

Trans rights are human rights.

AuDHD, antifascist, nonbinary, anti-tankie, atheist.

Not a spy or a fed or gov affiliated.

That's funny since every Democrat that spoke up for Trans rights won their election most by over 10 points. Oh and ever bigoted moms for pedophiles lost ever school board they ran for. Seems pete hasn't learned his lesson just another white privilege male speaking over other.

The reactionary centrists are not ready for what's coming at them with Katie Wilson. They have no natural defenses against a socialist bus-riding mom who's laser-focused on providing direct material gains for the working poor. Probably the most pragmatic left-politician I've ever met

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.

She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.

That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).

Not much left at this point.

America has normalized secret police and internal terror operations, the construction of concentration camps, the destruction of the federal government and the de facto dissolving of Congress and it has done so without missing a beat. Coming back from where we are today will take decades.

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun.

The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.

It will never be beneficial to "compromise" on human rights to garner acceptance & validation because in doing so you agree with the bigot who declared you subhuman & deserving of unique policing & fewer rights. They're never going to be satiated in depriving you of humanity & position among them.

This is what happens when they don’t have women to pick up after them at work like they do at home.
Next, ICE must provide the most basic requirements of personal hygiene.
- People have to be given soap, toilet paper, and toothbrushes.
- If held for multiple days, people get a right to a shower.
- ICE has to clean the toilets, so people aren't constantly exposed to filth.

Its funny how Muslims, leftists and trans people were being blamed for Harris losing the election in 2024.

Then, a year later, the most popular politician in the country is Muslim democratic socialist who expresses full throated support for trans people.

Almost like it was never our fault🤔

Living in an assisted living facility, and seeing it’s effects first hand in one of my neighbour’s, the assertion that its not a real thing is deeply distasteful.

This neighbour’s case is a very extreme case, the man is in constant was within his own head, he makes me feel LUCKY by comparison,
Schizophrenia exists.

Mental illness exists.

Psychiatric medications can be life-saving.

Psychotherapy can be life-saving.

Don't let misinformed people like @profjohnread.bsky.social tell you otherwise.

Enough with the anti-psychiatry propaganda and stigma. ✌️

Also on this point, something that a lot of folks don't appreciate is the fairly large swath of people who would qualify as "natsec liberals" who are now fully radicalized onto a "fuck the state of Israel entirely, not just Likud" platform

It's more of a localized problem to the ME specialists
On foreign policy I’d say the Democrats should aspire to elect Bellingcat Liberals, which is basically the same as a NatSec liberal but capable of seeing obvious facts about Israel

The death grip they have on Marxism/Communism as THE enemy 36 years after the fall of the Soviet Union (We "won," by the way) shows these folks have no ideas and live in the past.

tariffs going down and then comey going free would be the funniest potential turn of events for the admin and would probably make Trump boiling mad
Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ

The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

sorry but it's really funny that the same type of centrist pundit freaks who are like "mamdani won't make good on his campaign promises so DON'T vote for him!" were the same ones who said "trump won't make good on his campaign promises so it's fine if he wins"

But if you’re in Seattle, you have a chance to do something similar! Get your ballot in today and help Katie Wilson ruin the plans of our terrible, lying, incumbent mayor!

Canvassing for Katie Wilson and a crusty old guy says "She never even ran a kindergarten! No experience!" Yes, Bruce Harrell does have experience, and he's still done a shitty job. Hope that helps.

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

This part of the US far-right infighting has never made sense to me.🤷🏿‍♂️

What they have planned for Jewish people is so much worse than what they have planned for Hispanic or Asian or even Black people. Slavery is awful, but it's survivable. They're not planning to eliminate all Black people on earth.
Ben Shapiro recently attacked Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. Not surprising. But he had another target that would have seemed baffling just a week ago: the Heritage Foundation.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
