Dems truly need to take a lesson from this There must be a countering vision to the GOP who always campaigns on the terrifying power of the state coming to take everything from you Mamdani is saying the power of the state should only be used to serve you because we're in this together

I’ve heard a number of democratic representatives indicate they understand that new safeguards must be put in place.

In a world where every single children's book written by an LGBT author risks getting banned and the author pedojacketed by pedo-protecting republican politicians I really don't wanna use rhetoric that encourages this kind of attitude

The nurses are pissed
nursesonja • 7h
& Threads
Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us. In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward. These are the people I'm remembering today.

The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance
Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

"Leftists are the real fascists!"
4 frame comics. a man with a red cap says to Stephie :
nazis were obviously
left-wing. it's in the
name: national socialism.
leftists were always
the real fascists.
stephie replies : 
the party's name was specifically
chosen in 1920 to lure people
away from socialism by using its
rhetoric and to channel people's
economic distress into a racialist,
antisemitic, anti-democratic
vision of the state that upheld
the capitalist status quo.*
source : *r.j. evans: the coming of the third reich, 2005
the third frame shows a nazi parade. text reads :
after taking control of the
party in 1921, hitler spent a
whole decade purging the party
of its left-leaning figures.
one of the first things he did
after taking power was to
send left-wing politicians and
union leaders into concentra-
tion camps or murder them.*
source : *holocaust encyclopedia : "nazi terror begins"
in the last frame, stephie leans towards the man and says :
hitler was a white
nationalist famously opposed
to socialists. the fact that
the word "socialism" was in his
party's name isn't any weirder
than "republicans" supporting
a president who rules
like a king.

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead. Her death was ruled a suicide. But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"What does antifa do?" My personal experience with antifa.
4 frame comic. 1st frame shows the silhouette of a protest. text reads : 
anti-fascism isn't just about
wearing cool scarves and ski
goggles. when terfs* announced
that they were organizing a
protest at a library I was
speaking at, they showed up and
outnumbered the terfs.
2nd frame shows the silhouette of someone at a computer. text reads :
it's antifa geeks
monitoring alt-right online
groups who told me that they
found my address, 8 years ago.
I could get to safety and make
sure nothing happened,
thanks to them.
3rd frame shows the antifa logo. text reads :
it's an undercover
antifa who told me Proud
boys were planning to crash
a library talk I was giving.
they still did it, but we could
prepare accordingly and the
talk went as planned.
4th frame shows a protest with a "good night white pride" banner. text reads : 
it's a whole squad of anti-
fascists who showed up to keep
a neo-nazi group at bay from
a family event I was speaking at.
they stayed until the end to
accompany participants to their
car or all the way to their
home. the police was aware of
the threat but didn't do sh*t.

"Democratic backsliding" is the process through which modern authoritarianism happens.
4 frame comic.
in the first frame, there's a giant banner of Trump on a building. text reads : authoritarianism in the 21st
century tends to appear through
what is called a process of
"democratic backsliding" (also
called "autocratization") rather
than through a traditional coup.
this allows the new regime to
claim some kind of legitimacy.

2nd frame shows a silhouette of trump. text reads : democratic backsliding is
when an elected executive uses
power to subvert democratic
institutions by attacking fair &
free elections, suppressing
freedom of speech, press & asso-
ciation, or weakening the rule
of law

in the 3rd frame, we see a nazi parade in the 30s. text reads : according to
political scientists mettler &
lieberman, there are four key
characteristics that provide the
conditions for democratic back-
sliding: political polarization,
racism and nativism, economic
inequality, and excessive
executive power.

in the last frame, we see the white house. text reads : in a report published in sept.
2025, the intl. institute for demo-
cracy and electoral assistance
found that 54% of the world's
countries experienced democratic
backsliding in the past year. that
includes the united states.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Blueprint
4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you
think of the radical left
fearmongering that
we could someday see
fascism in the u.s.?
she replies : 
dear
boy, the u.s. has
been a blueprint
for fascism all
along.
hitler specifically cited
jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege-
nation and white-only immi-
gration laws as inspiration
for his eugenics policies.
germany sent people to study
what was being done in the
u.s. to export it over there.
in the 30s, tens of thousands
of americans attended massive
rallies by fascist groups such as
the friends of new germany or
the german american bund.

then in the 40s, two dozen
congresspeople were charged with
sedition for planning a fascist
overthrow of the government.
and since wwII, the
amount of fascist groups
and militias has been
exponential.
not only can
fascism come to
the u.s., it has
always been an
inherent part
of american
society.

"I’d never seen an ICE arrest in person – only on the news and in videos online. And while it’s true I didn’t know anything about Samuel – or witness the interaction that led to him sprinting through the parking lot – nothing about this encounter felt official."

As a German I want to tell all ICE brownshir... 'agents', I meant 'agents', the following fact: "I just followed orders" wasn't a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials. And it isn't now either. You should remember that when you're on trial.
