Why we're here, at its very simplest: 1. Big top-down push to make overt racism & sexism more acceptable & centre politics on them 2. Media views that movement as without agency, just *reacting* to failures of liberalism/ the left

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving. We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share! www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2...

'A Pro-Israel Nonprofit is Funneling News Content Through Bari Weiss’s "Free Press"' As Weiss’s organization explores a deal to sell to CBS, much of its MidEast content is produced by a shadowy think tank tied to pro-Israel advocacy, per @dropsitenews.com.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

The New York Times purposefully took the words of trans folks out of context to push a anti trans narrative. This isn't even the first time this week they've been shown to do that. This is a consistent issue with them.

Since no one at DoJ will hold Trump accountable when he breaks the law - and he will break the law - we are going to need to rely on lawsuits to block him and slow him down. That's why we should all support the good work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

RFKs plan to eliminate pesticides and genetically modified foods without viable alternatives would precipitate massive crop failures and cause global food shortages. While it's preferable not to use gmos and pesticides, we would not be able to produce cheap grain at current scale without them.

Maga and the kremlin gremlins are coming over in droves. If you think they aren't peddling "MAGA blocklists" to new members you haven't been paying attention for the last several years. Those lists are renamed for each community they target and seeded with activists they want silenced.

This is a reminder. Trump's MO is public chaos to hide something horrific. The appointments are the shiny object to distract. Trump is a con man first and foremost. When Trump collapses the economy the behind the scenes criming that is going on now will leak out.

I don’t think most Americans understand how much power a siting president has over these matters. They just assume that security clearances are granted by a government agency that is impartial and that it’s like a credit score. They don’t realize a sitting president can hand them out like candy.

Don't be deceived. RFK doesn't care about corporate greed. He only attacks the pharma industry because he wants to make it easier to hawk dubious supplements and products from a wellness industry that is already worth trillions and is regulated far less than vaccines and drugs.
FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.
