There's a meme going around encouraging people to sit if violence escalates at a protest. This is a bad idea for many reasons. Instead, plant your feet, lock arms with people next to you, and be silent. If everyone does this, the agitators will stand out and can be more easily dealt with. #NoKings

MAGA has crossed the line. Decent people are no longer required to play nice with 🍊 supporters. Cut them off. Refuse to engage. Don’t allow them into your spaces. Reject their pleas for “civility.” They have no place among those who still value freedom, integrity, and human rights.

Dear @hbomax.bsky.social … y’know, it was fun. Loved HACKS and MARE OF EASTTOWN and a few other shows. But I’m not giving you any more of my money if it’s eventually used to attack my trans kinfolk. So I just halted my membership. Goodbye. 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🤍🩷🏳️‍⚧️

Yes, RFK Jr’s insulting and offensive comments about autism are meant to distract us from our rapidly eroding civil liberties. But we’re not going to ignore them. Because we don’t throw already marginalized people under the bus, AND … we can fight more than one battle at a time.
RFK Jr, the absolute worst.

This goes out to all the “normal gay guys,” the ones JD Vance spoke about on Joe Rogan’s podcast, who wear neckties and don’t share their pronouns and keep their hair short and are the reason Grindr lights up like a Christmas tree whenever CPAC comes to DC and … (cont’d)

Listen up, you doughy loser — Democrats are urging the release of human beings who were packed off to a torture chamber without due process. Because we aren’t fascists. Next time, just skip the Constitution and swear your oath to 🍊— it’d be more honest.

Good thing we didn’t re-elect the OLD PERSON.

“This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes said in a statement. “The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security.”

Stop erasing transgender people from history. The Stonewall rebellion would never have happened where it not for the drag queens, butches, and trans/non-binary people who led the way. The LGB community you speak of will not abandon our transgender siblings, no matter how much certain aspiring autocrat wants us to.
