The Nexus Project @nexusproject.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Targeting trans people is wrong on its own, and we should call it out either way.

The Nexus Project @nexusproject.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Musk says civilization is under attack by a "woke mind virus." Who's behind it?

The Nexus Project @nexusproject.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trope three: they're infiltrators.
