Here's a take. When this is over, we need a completely new constitution. Too much of this was caused by the interpretations of the Supreme Court and the judiciary. Conservatives played a very long game to use the judiciary to get here. We need much more stringent bindings on the executive (1/?).

I generally don't get involved in these things, but this feels much bigger to me than petty discourse: Nerdskull constantly endangers trans people, especially transfems, by engaging extremely harmful transmisogynistic stereotypes. There are lines you do not cross, and they cross them constantly.

Voting for Gavin Newsom is an objectively bad idea that should be avoided at all costs. Openly cavorting with white supremacists and homophobic sexists should be disqualifying for any elected position. If you don't think it's disqualifying, you should ask yourself why.

Nine year olds should not live in a world where they have to consider the logistics of civil disobedience as a tool to save their friends. Nine year olds should not have to strategize about how to keep each other safe. That is a failure of our responsibilities as adults and can never be overstated.

“administrative warrants can't authorize home entry because they're executive branch orders, and the executive branch can't be in charge of deciding whether to give itself a warrant”
Great piece from @orinkerr.bsky.social in @lawfaremedia.org explaining why ICE should not be able to enter homes with administrative warrants.

Can ICE Enter a Home to Make an Arrest With Only an Administrative Warrant?
A tentative take, on both the rights and the remedies.

It took BlueSky several weeks to ban a white man who repeatedly used that word in anger in addition to the t-slur, and who also threatened several women with sexual violence.
Site moderation needs a complete overhaul and a different person leading the team. They're completely untrustworthy.

DIYing HRT is not a transmedicalist position. That is not what those words mean.
Transmedicalists believe there’s a single way to be trans. They attempt to enforce this on everyone else, typically with state violence & medical gatekeeping.
A trans person getting healthcare is not transmedicalist.

I hate that Sage needs to illuminate this, but she does illuminate it brilliantly.
I'm quoting specifically to put this in the minds of non-trans folks who are genuine allies and coconspirators in the radical idea that trans and genderqueer beings exist naturally.

Humans, as a whole, are pretty fucking amazing. We choose, actively too see the better of our fellows. Our desire to work together made us the apex predator on the planet. We have the ability and desire to show compassion. Not just to our fellow humans but to literally thousands of species. 1/
a lot of ppl are deeply confused about my beliefs so for anyone curious — my beliefs can more or less be summed up as rejecting this statement and everything associated with it.
Humanity is evil so most things humanity do is indeed evil

The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:

We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.
Nope.
None of that shit.

This is how you get a group like the Brownshirts. This is how you see the beginning formation of paramilitary arms of the state.

This is such a disgusting breach of ethics. The blood of children will be on the hands of the boards that thought approving this "expirement" was a good idea. Absolutely vile. And, yet, unsurprising. This is how you propagate a genocide.
