”The godking emperor's secret paramilitary execution squad will leave if you just give us the names and addresses of the people who didn’t vote for him” is not something one hears in a democracy, my guys.

It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead

i just want to say for the record that it's bullshit that i still have to go to work even though democracy has collapsed

The secret reason trans people are hated is because we epitomise a goal that cannot be allowed:

Bodily autonomy for all

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

For anyone saying "remember they can't just do that!" (wrt USAID, for example) please ask them what the enforcement mechanism is.

What prevents USAID from being dismantled? And if there is a mechanism, why are USAID workers all laid off this morning?

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

Just released memorandum from OPM:

Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.

It will go into effect on the 31st.

It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.

This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

"why would all those billionaires get behind Donald Trump, he is setting the world's money on fire"

I have an explanation for this, a complex but compelling theory that unravels their motivations: they are all incredibly stupid

I understand that this is an overused image, but if not now, when.

Now more than ever < 3

Made this a while ago and never posted it online. There is a lot that could be said about the topic but the fury and pain make it hard to really express anything beyond well...the urge to protect our own.
