You can't stop your government from trying to eliminate you, but you can stop them from doing it quietly and invisibly.
we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

Friendly reminder from this ex defense lawyer to shut the fuck up and exercise your rights
Also, do not deny things to the police. If you're denying anything to the police, it means you're talking too much already.
"I invoke my fifth amendment rights. I want a lawyer."
That is the only thing you should ever say. (And don't just stay silent - you have to actually invoke).

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

There's something quite sobering about the fact that 95% of all stars that will ever be born ... have already been born.

The most dangerous person in women's spaces in Congress isn't Sarah McBride, it's actually Nancy Mace's staffer Sean Brislin, apparently, who it appears she hired shortly after he broke into a woman's house and slept in her bed.

One of my recommended methods if you find fascist and neo nazi propaganda: take pictures to document, remove propaganda, share pics privately with anti fash researchers or local anti hate groups, and if you post about it just say ‘Nazi stickers were located and removed’ with no pictures
4) 10 tips for covering white supremacy and far-right extremists
Some great tips here
• Avoid letting white supremacists use their own terms to describe themselves.
• Consider taking a stance of “strategic silence.”
• If you must cover the statements of far-right extremists, always paraphrase.
