NSFW post but I feel I need to point this out. Why bother even getting good at art if people are just going to accuse you of using AI anyway? From my experience most AI bros are usually forthcoming about their usage of AI and are more focused on defending its use in the first place.

I genuinely regret making an account on here. The only reason I did was my friends convinced me I needed a place to post my art. Instead its just been a source of constant misery and doom being projected into me at all times. The reason I deleted Twitter back in the day was to get away from that.

The DNC is annoying and they don't give a shit about the marginalized. They need to be profoundly reformed through populist ire. #mspaint #trans #DigitalArt www.erininthemorning.com/p/9th-circui... www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-... cces.ca/transgender-...
A donkey in a suit is holding a dress with a trans pride flag and smiling as he looks at a cat woman, who has a neutral expression.

The transfeminine cat woman says "Hey DNC if we reelect you will you consider doing something about Israel"

The Donkey replies "IDK lol!! get in the cage and we'll see"

"Ok"The transfeminine cat girl is in a cage and sarcastically posing like a helpless damsel. She rolls her eyes to the upper left.
"Oh nooooo. You *gotta* elect a democrat to *save* me, guys. Let's go girls, etc..."

The democrat donkey points like a soyjack.
"GUYS!! WHAT WOULD TRUMP'S VICTORY MEAN FOR THE TRANS COMMUNITY????"In Idaho, the 9th circuit of court appeals determined that “common experience” was a viable substitute for evidence when deciding that allowing trans people in changing rooms would constitute harm to cisgender students. This panel consists of a democratic majority.

Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, a Democrat, fears his daughter “getting run over on a playing field by a male athlete”.

Franklin Foer, who identifies as a liberal, argues that Harris lost the 2024 election because she “allowed Trump to create the impression that she favoured the most radical version of transgender rights”

The result of a comprehensive scientific study from The Canadian Center for Ethics In Sports (CCES) concluded that there is no conclusive evidence to suggest trans women who have undergone testosterone suppression have biological advantages against cisgender women.

The US Democratic party has preemtively adopted the 'radical' framing of human rights. The party is scapegoating trans people for their poor performance, using the same anti-science stereotypes as the Republican party, and guaranteeing material harm by passing laws against us.

Authoritarianism is a hell of a drug and I think Americans are particularly vulnerable to it because most of us were taught the great man view of history, our culture is full of superheroes and deified historical figures who are always right, and a lot of us were raised evangelical on top of that.

I’m going to make this a video at some point but I’m saying this here and being done because it’s honestly just angering and scaring and frustrating me.
The reason I’ve been so critical of people praising the likes of Gavin Newsom and saying things like, “you may not like him but we need him in the fight,” or applauding his redistricting of California as a tit-for-tat move against GOP redistricting, is that fundamentally they are ignoring the core problem here: this is just justifying a further slide into an authoritarian state.
I want to be clear, because people don’t seem to understand me when I say this—I think Gavin Newsom’s response to the GOP redistricting Texas to disenfranchise Democratic voters and give themselves more representatives, by doing the same in California to disenfranchise GOP voters and give Democrats more representatives, is the correct response within the system. Yes, if Democrats want to win, this is what they have to do. They shouldn’t be playing by rules the GOP clearly ignores. Again, this is the only response that makes sense within the rules of the game.
But the problem with everyday Americans’ response—cheering on Newsom and saying we need to get behind him uncritically—shows how much people empathize with power over themselves. At the end of the day, this is the American system further entrenching and normalizing authoritarian power. Even if Democrats were to win using these tactics in 2028—which is preferable to a GOP win, yes—they will not willingly give up this newly normalized power dynamic. More voters will have been disenfranchised. Long term, we’re left with a system even less democratic, with few—if any—levers within it to push back.
Worse still, so many are cheering on the idea of having strongman leaders like Newsom. People literally make Trump-like memes of him carrying an American flag. This “we need our own strongman to fight Trump and kick him in the balls” is the same cult of personality that entrenches the Trumpian mindset within establishment Democrats who think they’re being progressive, while actually backing further disenfranchisement of middle- and lower-class Americans—people already struggling under late-stage capitalism.
And people like Newsom—or other Democratic leaders establishment liberals rally behind, like Pete Buttigieg—are perfectly willing to throw trans people or the homeless under the bus if it plays well to a mythical centrist base. So while people pat themselves on the back for voting for a gay man or supporting a Democrat like Newsom who “punches Trump where it hurts,” they’re ignoring not only their own further disenfranchisement, but also the additional attacks and harm directed toward even more marginalized groups like trans people and the homeless. 
I say all of this because one day people will have to reckon with this reality—that the American system will continue to justify making itself more authoritarian under the logic of, “that’s just how we have to fight the fascists.” That’s the only choice it offers us within its limits. But we do have other options. People are just too scared, or too enmeshed in the political system, to recognize them or admit what needs to be done. We need to fundamentally change how we do politics.
I’m not saying you need to pick up a gun and start a revolution against the American state. But I am saying you need to stop focusing solely on electoral politics or trying to pass laws within this system to get what you need. Build up your communities. Find ways to provide food, educational resources, childcare, and other essentials locally. Organize for community defense. Join a union or a collective. These are tangible actions, better uses of your time than canvassing for a political campaign, asking people to vote, or arguing with Republicans online.
The path we’re on—pouring our energy into stanning Newsom or treating electoral politics as the only way to “win”—is deeply dangerous. It limits our imagination and leads us further into authoritarianism. And eventually, we will have to face that fact—whether it’s in 2028, 2032, or 2036. No matter what, we will have to confront that fundamental problem. The reason I’m so adamant about recognizing it now is that the longer we wait, the more people will be hurt.
As a trans person, I’m already on the chopping block—discarded by both sides of the same system of power. I see how people like me face a very real chance of being imprisoned, killed, or worse before society wakes up to this problem. And I’m not the only one. To paraphrase the poem: “They came for the trans people, and I did nothing, for I was not trans.”
What scares me most is that when I try to explain all of this, I am the one vilified. Trans people like me are told—not just by Republicans who openly hate us, but by Democrats—that we need to shut up and get behind “our guy” with “our guy” always being politicians who are more willing to publicly sit down with the likes of Charlie Kirk than to platform or even talk to a trans person. That’s how the system fuels resentment and dehumanization of marginalized people like me—because I’m unwilling to comply. I become the problem, the issue, the person to ostracize, the one accused of helping the fascists.
At the end of the day, I’m not here to say Gavin Newsom is wrong to redistrict in response to Trump and the GOP. That is how Democrats can and should win power, and within the system, it’s what they should be doing. That’s not my criticism. My point isn’t to Newsom—it’s to you. Because while redistricting may be a short-term solution, it doesn’t solve the deeper problem. It delays it. It accelerates it. And you will eventually have to face it.
I would much rather we face it clear-eyed now. Because doing so not only gives me, as a trans person, a greater chance of survival, but it also means that if you recognize the problem now, I’m still here with you—still able to fight alongside you. Because as the poem warns, one day they will come for you. And by then, there may not be anyone left beside you to fight.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! fightchatcontrol.eu
Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.
