This quote aged like fine milk that was laced with poison before being set next to the radiator. When I say "die cis scum" I mean it for disingenuous "allies" like this.

Guess what else happened in 1933
Books on transgender life and healthcare being burned by Nazi Party members at the Opernplatz on 19 May 1933.

By 1933, Jews were banned from all recreational and professional sports, and banned from the Olympics. Did it stop there? Or was it a glaring product of demonizing a "subhuman" minority that had long been underway and unopposed by the nominal opposition party?

"woke" didn't start in the 2020 uprising, in 2016 at Standing Rock, in 1969 at Stonewall,in 1955 Montgomery, in the 1948 Palestinian resistance, in the 1943 Warsaw ghetto uprising, in the 1800's slave rebellions, in the 1791 Hatian Rebellion. Resistance is the only thing that has changed the world.

Any lib who criticizes the 2020 uprising as "woke 1.0" or "excess" or "too much" is ahistoric at best and inherently appeases fascism. There is nothing excessive about standing tall and demanding justice; an oppressed person's resistance against their oppressor will always be right. Fuck the police

I broke my phone so I couldn't post for a while, but I have a loaner so I'm back on my BS. Hayley Stevens supports ICE, Charlie Kirk, and Palestinian genocide. She's fucking racist and transphobic. If you support her, I think you are too. My comrade needs $ for brain adjacent (?) surgery, go help

My girlfriend texted me this meme, and that's literally how I found out he was dead.
A grayscale political cartoon shows the Grim Reaper operating a claw machine filled with tiny human figures. The claw has grabbed one person, while the machine’s lower panel depicts smoke, a skull-shaped cloud, and a fleeing silhouette. Large white text reads: “THIS GAME IS RIGGED / YOU NEVER GET ANYONE GOOD,” followed at the bottom by “OMG IT’S LINDSEY GRAHAM.”

With the current online trans discourse, I'm going to wade in because it's a digital repeat of the Detroit trans night schism. Trans folks: it is not enough to be non-racist (not actively building or defending oppressive systems;) you must be anti-racist (actively trying to dismantle those systems.)

Fuck Israel because they are a white supremacist imperialist extension of western power, just like the US. They have westen support because of common goals and mutual benefits, full stop. If you conflate jews with Israel, or rely on antisemitic tropes, you aren't antifascist, you're just racist.

Was doing some activisty type activities and kept calling out every cat I saw over open chats. I apologized to the comrades, they were fine with it of course, but I got a giggle when I explained that the A in ADHD stands for Antifa. Somewhere along the line I wound up with cat lady/ wine mom energy

So, thanks to the "inoffensive top 40" playlist at work, I can comfortably say modern country is just early 2000s pop-rock. Familiar enough to get me digging through the top 40 charts to see who they ripped the melody from, not punk enough for me to actually care.

People should imagine what would happen if every immigrant left tomorrow. You think the secret police or camps go away? Me neither. Someone is going in those camps. The private prison companies running them have occupancy requirements in their contracts.

It hasn't been immigration enforcement since it got all that funding. It's now the secret police rounding up brown people to send to camps or deportation prisons overseas, while also brutalizing any who dare oppose it. The faster we all get up to speed the better.
