It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that
Have you taken the survey yet? It's been really cool to follow the results year to year
Gender CensusThe 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ
right, this isn't "well you're spending money on a shitty megacorp" basically every dollar she gets these days goes directly to funding this stuff it's hard to get people to connect "buying a toy wand from the kid wizard book" with trans genocide but that doesn't make it less true
SebasYeah, I've been trying to get through to a lot of people about that, I'm not "cancelling someone because I disagree with her opinions," I'm explaining that every time you go see the Harry Potter play or buy a pair of Hufflepuff socks, you are personally directly funding a hate campaign
Very few people know things like this. When in doubt, share.
Avel Guénin--CarlutWould assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Our campus AAUP chapter reporting that the University of Mississippi installed a facial recognition camera outside of our ombuds office. This is fucked up and inexcusable
The Trump administration announced it was withholding more than $1 billion in Medicaid funds from California and Minnesota. Both California and Minnesota are net donor states, meaning they pay more in federal taxes than they receive back from the federal government through federal spending.
I wrote about ICE’s recent killing spree, and the moral urgency of holding these people accountable in a post-MAGA world. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
What have we done and how long will it take to repair the murderous damage of the last five years (yes, murderous: most recently in Idaho, and no, I won't link to that story)
Alejandra CaraballoIn 2021, there were roughly 101 gender clinics offering care to transgender youth offering a full range of gender affirming care. By July 2026, there are only about 31 left that still prescribe hormones and puberty blockers.
The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except it’s a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.
@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [GAC cont] TThe Dutch report is esp. remarkable since the country originated pediatric care, it completely dismisses the Cass Review as irrelevant, it rejects the idea of waiting as safe rather than harming kids, and rejects the claim that GAC research is inconclusive.
HI HELLO. Mitch McConnell and Tom Kean got longer medical leaves (with literally zero transparency and fully funded healthcare) than I, and most women get after having a baby…including having a baby via major surgery 💁🏻♀️
Anti-trans laws are going to cause a massive increase in trans youth suicide. The victims who are known to be trans will be the ones with supportive families who helped them access care, and this is going to be used to say that gender-affirming care is not lifesaving.
"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”
Alejandra CaraballoEveryone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.
ForbesTaylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.
Fascism in clear writing straight from the government's website. The intent is always to repress and oppress "opposition" voices. Especially if those voices are support systems for their local community. Inflict trauma and cruelty to force into fear and submission is their modus operandi.

Bathroom bans are effectively unenforceable on the public. Where the anti trans side innovated is focusing on places where they have leverage over trans people, mainly government employees and students. They can fire trans employees and expel trans students. lawrencekstimes.com/2026/07/13/t...
