It's Shut The Fuck UP FRIDAY!! There's never been a more important time for this message. STFU Friday is not a joke. We are serious & trying to keep you safe 1- YOU MUST PREPARE FOR HOW THE STATE WILL COME AFTER YOU- INCLU WHILE TRAVELING 2- NEVER TALK TO POLICE! STFU! Thread:

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Only half a Scaramucci! Guess we have a new measurement: the Zacharia. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Yes, we know.

Saying the red scare crew are leftists

NY Dems: "Woke 1 went too far! We can't abolish the police! We need what cops do in our cities! 🤡 But we must abolish ICE!" Who is Kyle Rittenhouse? The guy whose mom gave him an AR to go and kill people at a BLM protest in Kenosha. But why was there a BLM protest in Kenosha? What happened there?

"If we don't keep inflating these imaginary industries, they'll realize we have run out of things to easily speculate on and the entire capitalist system will be exposed as a sham casino run by the worst people on the planet"

We Are Lady Parts

This is the funniest thing I've heard all week.

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

I was thinking the other day I've spent 30 years voting for the lesser evil, and both main parties are now significantly more evil than when I started I don't know what the answer is but carrying on doing the same thing isn't going to suddenly have a different result, is it

I wish there was as much resentment against those with power who have consciously led us here as there is with those with little power who no longer believe the lesser of two evil will make it all ok

If you're on here telling trans people to shut up and vote, you should be angry that Republicans have manipulated you to such a degree. Why aren't you angry about it

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

You gotta love seeing such an arrogantly defiant "ratio me, please!" followed by what is surely one of the most brutal ratios in Bluesky history.

No, you're the one making an argument here. The left is stating their intentions. We're not trying to convince you. You're trying to convince us. I'm saying that since the dems strategy is to win centrists and moderate Republicans by abandoning the left, you should probably focus on them, not us

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

one party wants all the omelas children in a hole, the other party wants to offer limited loan forgiveness for qualifying children who operate small businesses out of their hole provided that it can be achieved with bipartisan support, are we really pretending there is no difference??

Didn't realize it was Star Trek Day... I watched several episodes of Babylon 5 on my flight home.

Redefining "woke" to make it carry the full weight of its purported anecdotal excesses, while emptying it of its substantive origins, meanings and critiques is not coincidental. It is loadbearing to the project of delegitimizing those critiques, and getting past the discomfort and threat they posed.

Getting swarmed by radical centrists for three hours for saying communism and fascism are completely different things, and yet this latest reply is so astonishgly braindead that I can't imagine this person being able to feed themselves.

The very idea of for-profit prisons is so thoroughly morally repellent that if they weren't real I'd swear the idea was from a 60s sci-fi novel that the author had used to illustrate how sick and broken the society was that the hero had to escape from.

So a word of caution to those who think socialists pose a danger: If you oppose those who want to fix problems too quickly, who think too broadly, who set their hopes too high ... you will probably defeat them, because they are not in power, and dominant power is aligned against them. Then what?

if you're funded by pro-genocide groups to go in front of a camera and read the pro-genocide script, it doesn't really matter if the particular scene you're shooting today is well-considered or not. you're getting paid either way

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.
