Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

Saying this on Transgender Day of Remembrance. Of all days.
HBO stands by J.K. Rowling as it reboots #HarryPotter for TV

“J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement”

it’s about to get very, very hard to be transgender in the united states. likely harder than it’s been in american history. do not let them scare you into backing down. do not give into transphobes framing. stand up to them however you can. it shouldn’t be this way but we have to fight

This was a successful strategy on the part of Republicans, recognizing their supporters have a habit of using words without knowing what they mean & used it to get them to back whatever they want even if it’s against voter interest
Many TikTok videos from people upset because they voted Trump & didn’t realize Obamacare WAS the affordable care act.

Doesn’t surprise me. A friend asked what rights people were going to lose under Trump (other than abortion) and I said the ACA.

His reply? “No he’s only repealing Obamacare.”

A teacher on “X the everything app” explained that bc her students were using AI, their work sucked and they couldn’t improve on their writing skills. If you write your own essays, you can learn from your mistakes. If you use ChatGPT, you can’t.
Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible.

Outside of computer class, there should be no gen AI in K12 schools, period.

Entirely agree. Chatbots do not support the researched knowledge, skillful practices, and thoughtful habits that students are meant to develop in their K-12 classes.

Remind me to write a blogpost about what Jesse Singal and Benjamin Ryan are doing with their activism against trans and trans-allied researchers.
I think this is how he noticed me. It was a convo about the vibe on Bluesky. If I recall someone said that he is welcome to spend all the time he wishes with Nazi trolls on Twitter. He responded that some Bluesky users are nasty to him and shared screenshots. And I reminded him of his agency.

John Fetterman and Ritchie Torres paint a very clear picture of how when you sell your soul to shill for genocide that inevitably seeps into all parts of you and rots your mind and your being from the inside out.

Sure is convenient that no one forced out Eric Adams and now Trump can dangle a pardon to ensure he uses the NYPD to strangle resistance to Trump in NYC and carry out mass deportation. Not only that, the city council was just defanged by referendum this past election.

Republicans won the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

But it's not enough to have full control of the federal government.

They must, for no reason whatsoever, personally and viciously attack the first trans woman elected to Congress.

1/ The right’s war on trans people isn’t about “protecting kids” or “fairness.” It’s about isolating, dehumanizing, and provoking—pushing until someone breaks. You do not, under any circumstances, have the hand it to them. 🧵

trans ppl flee’ing twitter to get away from terfs should serve as evidence that we mean it when we say we just wanna be left alone.

terfs organising to come over here and harass us should serve as evidence that they are aggressive and predatory abusers.

Crazy how QAnon spent years fear mongering about democrats being pedophiles, meanwhile Trump stocks up his administration with actual pedophiles and child sexual abuse enablers.

No what’s insane is supporting a settler-colonial project built on the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous ppl (Palestinians). Framing it as “Jews v Muslims” is complete misinformation. Bc the problem isn’t that they’re Jewish. The problem is that they commit apartheid and genocide.
There are about 1.9 billion Muslims alive worldwide and 400 million in the MENA region.

There are only 15.8 million Jews in the entire world, and 7 million Jews in Israel, fewer than before the Holocaust.

There are 50 Muslim majority countries.

Seems insane to say Jews can’t have one country.

There’s nothing moderate about supporting an apartheid state that is currently committing genocide. You being trans doesn’t suddenly make your support for Israel “moderate”. And you were never progressive either. Your presence on here legit ruins the app.
I really welcome this project to block me for my moderate trans politics and support for Israel.

Undoubtedly, major media will write a piece soon about this schism growing in the trans movement. And this story will be the anecdote that they use to illustrate the childishness.
