Yes! I’m still marveling over this - Mamdani split the straight vote with Cuomo; his margin came from queer people. Not abandoning trans people is The Way. It would behoove future candidates to take heed!!

Not deflecting; I just know a lot of people were concerned with the 8 so I pointed that out. The bolts are not side by side - it’s a necklace. If the bolts were the orientation of say, the band Kiss’ logo (which actually had to be changed when they worked in Germany), that’d be a different story.

Or it was legitimately not Nazi shit. It has 12 bolts in real life (bc it’s her 12th album), not 8. This is no different than ac/dc or Harry Potter or the NHL team. There is plenty of actual Nazi shit to get upset about these days and this is honestly not it.

I do agree with insensitivity/inherent racism with some of choices re her boyfriend’s ex and I hope this discourse makes her reflect on that.

They are correct. The necklace has 12 bolts irl bc 12th album. It’s no different than ac/dc or Harry Potter or the NHL team. People need to calm tf down.

So… it’s not Nazi merch. There are 12 lightning blots (not 8 as shown in the merch pic) bc it’s her 12th album. That lightning bolt symbol is no different than ac/dc or Harry Potter or the NHL team of that name. KISS’ logo had to be changed in Germany bc it was so similar. This is not that.

A cis person that I love made this as his sign for the protest tomorrow. It made me tear.
Please, show up for trans people in whatever ways you can right now, big or small. It really matters.

Totally get avoiding it altogether! I don’t see two of them side by side tho? (I know the SS implication of having them side by side)

I’m not defending anything, genuinely curious: how is the lightning bolt symbol on the necklace different from ⚡️ - or for ex the Harry Potter bolt? (And we know that Rowling is funding literal Nazi-style eugenics against trans people, no less.)

No, it was from this Fox News person who is up Trump’s ass - she’s the only one who said it was from the FBI.
The WSJ got their incorrect info from the ATF bulletin, through a leak from Crowder (also a Trumper), who decided that arrows must equal trans. The idiocy abounds.

Something I sincerely never thought we’d see: CA moved into the moderate risk category on EITM’s map.
It is great that CA AG Bonta is suing the Trump admin, but he also needs to take legal action against the clinics that are rapidly shuttering trans healthcare in this supposedly protected state.
