it's truly fascinating to live in a time in which anti LGBT violence is rising again and somehow Interview With A Vampire, the gayest show ever filmed, is on the air and wildly popular

today you should arm your trans friends

tomorrow you should train with them

every day you should be by their side to create a space liberated from cops, capitalism, and transphobes.

by any means necessary
Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

When you say put it all in one video… Hooooooly shit.

@codyjohnston.bsky.social really puts the scam in perspective.

This is touched on briefly but it’s now very obvious that the tariffs aren’t because he’s stupid (even though he is), but because *he has a bribe jar* and they are leverage.

We've literally spent the last 2 years confirming as a society that the rules are all made up, there's not actually legal consequences for shit the government does, and the Constitution is really just an honor system. Time to stop pretending that elections are the point of politics.
Confidential to all the people replying to this post with your hot takes on what we should do if Trump runs on 2028: I don't care. I don't care. The whole point of this is it doesn't fucking matter right now and it's a huge distraction

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

Hundreds rallied in #Seattle against an anti-LGBTQ+ rally, facing arrests by police. The Mayor justified this violence, falsely claiming anarchists had "infiltrated" the demonstration. Democratic politicians work to divide our movements + justify repression. Photos via @alexgarland.bsky.social.
