thinking about the scene in Twin Peaks at Laura's funeral where Bobby breaks down and says that everyone there killed Laura because they knew what was happening, they knew she was in trouble and they didn't do anything. thinking about that scene a lot today.

i tweeted this when David Lynch passed and i just keep thinking about how there have been so many Lauras and how rare his kindness for her was.

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

Point five is really important. The protests provoked errors from the administration (shit force one) that may haunt them for years. That’s what happens when you stop being reactive.

Replying to @butchanarchy.bsky.social

The medical industrial complex values us only so far as it can profit from us, and it can profit from us in other ways besides providing affirming care (like conversion or medical incarceration). The means for trans existence has never been safe under that institution’s control.

Robert West reposted

Every fresh piece of news about patriarchy’s backlash against trans liberation affirms what the radical among us have always known: if the means for our care is in any other hands but our own it cannot be relied upon and indeed may be used against us.

Trans people: Hey they're trying to take away our rights and put us in camps. Could y'all maybe help out a bit? Cis people: WHY WOMEN NO LIKE MEN?! WHY MEN LONELY?! TRUMP ORANGE! HA HA WE WIN NOW!

I'm sure I'll say this a hundred times between now and mid terms. FUCK YOUR COMPROMISES, SHIT LIB! WE DO NOT COMPROMISE ON HUMAN FUCKING RIGHTS! DEAL WITH IT OR LOSE OUR VOTES! MOTHER FUCKING PERIOD!

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Robert West reposted

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

What the Debate Me bros have done is found a way to filibuster the self-evident humanity of a person or group by making it an endless topic of debate. As Toni said: "None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing." It's not my job to prove my equality to those who think me inferior

Beatrice Sexton@bsexton.bsky.social

The NCGOP will lie right to your face and say they believe in equal rights while actively undermining basic civil rights. Debating them is like playing make-believe. #ncpol

LMAO YALL. So that witch hunt website for anybody who spoke ill of ole boy? Some white man basically said “you got a fucking HOUR to get my name off this shit before my lawyer take everything at your house & load it in a UHaul to mine.” EVERY NAME off that website & the submission form is down.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper. Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man. Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:
