I promise you that when 99% of Americans hear "mass deportations" they envision a fictional rough neighborhood in a city they've never been to in a state they don't live in & will be shocked when their favorite neighborhood restaurant suddenly closes & a bunch of their kids' friends suddenly vanish

i don't like the whole "something bad is happening right now you shouldn't be posting about your music/art" discourse. like no please do post your music, for a lot of people it is a nice distraction and helps breaks up the doomscroll especially on this app

"The problem is most people simply do not absorb quality information. Instead, increasing numbers have a media diet that is mostly a bunch of lies, conspiracy theories, and irrelevant diatribes that right-wing propagandists use to deceive people."
Why millions voted for both Trump and progressive policies
Trump voters backed abortion, minimum wage, and family leave — and don't get that Project 2025 would take it away

Been seeing a lot of takes like “I was wrong to think people are inherently good,” and, like, maybe? But at the core of the current state of everything is that people are inherently ill-informed, in an echo chamber, and being fed weaponized mis-and-disinformation.

The core message of feminism is not "men are evil."

In a nutshell, it's:
—male supremacy is a real and old system of violent power
—its foundation is in the family/home/community which can make it seem invisible
—it disciplines and informs every other power system in the world

I can’t quite get it up for the whole “we need to listen to these people” thing that we did in 2016. I’m certainly not saying anyone is irredeemably evil or anything but I do believe there’s a moral crisis, a crisis of principles in this country

to win back power, the next democratic presidential candidate must reject biden, harris, obama, and the clintons. “we are not going back” should include any and all of them. just get an unknown young person who can speak coherently.

(knowing dems, we’re getting biden 2028)

i work extremely hard to carry understanding for people in my heart but conceding an election this obviously compromised with so many votes uncounted, unspoken for, is exactly why people don't believe in your leadership, your obsession with civility kills people every day, great job, thank you

trump voters: we should put immigrants in camps

trump voters: trans people are pervert child molesters

trump voters: we're going to make sure you never get to vote again

centrist pundits: remember dems, no matter which way the election goes, we have to love and live with the other side

I don’t know what to say. This is approaching $20k. This could change my entire 2025 for the better. This means so much, including time for us to get to a better solution. I’m overwhelmed. 💖🥺🫂
November update!

I've fallen behind by a lot this month, despite all the help we've received. The car repair really hurt. Please continue sharing and boosting, and we'd appreciate any more help others feel able to offer. Thank you!

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc.

Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy.

Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Okay, I get what people are saying with this, but please do not forget that a LOT of trans people in hostile states also just don’t really have embedded local networks or communities. This is very situational, and those of us who WANT out badly shouldn’t be erased either.

this was and is a serious suggestion. if cis ppl are really worried about their trans friends, then one of y'all should get on organizing it. if you leave it up to us to save ourselves, we'll do it. but you have a shot to be an actual ally. now's the time to step up.
maybe all the ppl telling trans folks to get out passports in order should figure out how to start a donation fund to pay for that bc otherwise you're just lecturing ppl who damn well know the danger we're in without actually doing anything to help.

I’d like everyone to start thinking about this now:

If we want to get really serious about protecting trans people against right-wing terror, that’s going to require much more of a concentrated fight against transmisogyny as a foundation of all anti-trans politics.

Cis people, please keep in mind:

—Trans rights were a major issue this election; the right leaned hard on transphobia

—The main forms
were TRANSMISOGYNY (targeting trans women) and ANTI-TRANSSEXUALITY (targeting transition medicine)

This helps show what and who will most need your support now.
