I remember 2003.

My English teacher had us all make personal book binders for our journals. Mine was covered in anti war decals criticizing Bush.

I got called in to the office and lectured by my principal about how Sadam was a terrorist and told I was a terrorist sympathizer and got detention.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.

When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Where's the accountability for the NYT's transphobia?
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

P p p patriarchy!

Part of their sense of self worth comes from considering themselves superior to women and LGBT people
How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.

When I worked at NetEase North America, our GM was a notorious bully and sexual harasser. Eventually, after enough complaints to our external HR, China corporate sent a survey asking us for our thoughts on him. HR then immediately gave him our comments with our names attached.
Company conducts a "mental health survey" and asks employees if they're feeling stressed.

Then it lays off all the employees who said yes. www.news18.com/viral/yesmad...

Amazing how everything Musk does is this: "It’s called Snailbrook, and its plans called for an initial 110 single-family homes for his employees. Two years into the project, the town is mostly just a bodega, a smaller-than-planned school, and about 15 trailers tucked behind Boring’s facilities."
I hung out in Elon Musk’s company town. Its playground is always broken. The school is accepting just a fraction of the students it was supposed to because they didn’t build a big enough well. And you can buy any canned beverage imaginable but can’t recycle them. sherwood.news/power/the-re...

Did you know that there was a famous trans athlete in the 70's? Renée Richards transitioned and played tennis until she was outed by Tucker Carlson's father. They instituted a ban, she sued and won, and continued playing for years after. She later coached transphobic tennis star Martina Navratilova.
