My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Is it just me or is there something uniquely rage-inducing about people using speakerphone in public? Talking with friends? Fine. Talking on the phone? Acceptable. Playing music or being on speakerphone? Incredibly rude, I want to throw your phone into traffic. I can’t put into words why, though.

Whether he did the salute or not doesn’t matter. Musk has outspokenly supported fascist ideals. An entire crowd erupted in cheers and applause when he swung his arm up into the air. Intention does not have to be present to have the same effect; he is a fascist speaking to a crowd of fascists.
