Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Wow, I never knew he said this.
Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

It really is bizarre how fixated people, and journalists in particular, are on trans kids and their healthcare.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Where's the Disney duty of care to a trans teenager? I bet she weighed up the cons of being so publicly out as a trans girl with the benefits of bringing representation & hope to trans kids. Now Disney pulls the representation while doubling the publicity & hate she will receive. Cowards
"I was exactly what they wanted to a T, and that's why it felt so right."
Disney decided it's too risky to let children see this young trans women as a human being like themselves. For shame.

So if you kill a CEO (responsible for mass murders of tens of thousands of people a year) it's TERRORISM.
But churches who preach their own interests, take huge donations, don't pay taxes, promote fear, sexism, racism, bigotry, & politics are acceptable because their work benefits you?

I am a Cis person and an Ally. I don’t want Jesse Singal on here He causes incredible harm to trans children, trans adults, and the people who care for them. He published medical records of trans children, even doxxing at least one child on Twitter.
kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform
