One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

All this energy for Kimmel, I hope you have the same energy for this: @lastweektonight.com
I hope y'all talk about how serious this is and how it could impact the entire civil rights movement this weekend.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

I think, and if you don't mind me being philosophical for a minute, that as much as I'm not going to downplay the danger the far right poses, we can't lose sight of the objective truth that this is a gathering of weak, failed men.

An alarming number of people in positions of power seem to be completely unable to distinguish good from evil as long as the evil is spoken in a reasonable tone of voice by a white man in a suit

A lot of liberals these days are acting like Mormon missionaries.
They get ready to go out into the world, hyped up by the community they identify with in their quest to Spread The Good Word. They'll arrive, expecting to be treated a hero due to how their friends and family talked.

As the cis mom of a trans kid, I wish ill on JK Rowling. I wish for JK Rowling what JK Rowling wishes for trans kids. She is a hate-filled small-minded heartless troll who should not be allowed in polite society.
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people
reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

It’s trans day of visibility.
Trans friends: We are in the deep. You are not required to do anything, including be visible. So, stay visible, if you choose.
More than visibility, stay alive.
The movement needs you loving and living, more than it needs you visible.
Stay safe, keep fighting.

I don't say that the law won't stop this and elections won't matter because I'm a doomer. I'm saying this so people understand the moment we're in. We're no longer a democracy. People need to accurately diagnose the problem before they can fix it and waiting for the courts or elections isn't it.

The Supreme Court is why we are here. I wouldn’t expect the Supreme Court to do anything that will help and even if they did, wouldn’t expect Trump to pay attention or comply. The constitutional crisis is already here. Why people think we need to wait for the Supreme Court is beyond me.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.
Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.
