Transtifa

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

One thing that has been interesting returning to finish my college degree in the AI era has been a new focus on ongoing projects that build across a course versus a series of stand-alone assignments. This was not a thing the first time I was in college, and I think it’s amazing.

It’s always the person with “anarchist” in their bio who is the most dyed in the wool complying in advance fascist lackey. It’s not illegal to resist fascism. If you immediately assume all resistance is illegal and should be approached with extreme caution, it is you who are the fascist.

There is a movie adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”, it came out in 2009, it features a cast of only white people, and has a bitchy looking lady president who literally shoots Harrison Bergeron to death with a gun on live TV. It’s exactly as good a film as you think it is.

The American Dream adage of "you can be rich if you work hard" serves only to convince the rich that they have worked hard.

Some Masshole circa 1770, "And ye find this massacre shocking, sir?"

If you want to know how Minneapolis is affecting the rest of the country, I’m at an ICE rapid response training where 400 people showed up on a Saturday morning.

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Hi, I’m my blood pressure in the 9th month of my pregnancy, and also missing the turn for the bike lane on the Queensboro bridge.

One of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen on Al Gore’s internet

Dave Chappelle at the end of a special: And I knew that duck. He was my friend. He just wanted grapes…but the man at the lemonade stand refused. Just think about that. Damn.

So I’m reading a book on the history of the Chinese in America, and I’m at the Chinese Exclusion Act part. The Trump administration is currently being *MORE RACIST* than the people who enacted Chinese Exclusion in the 1880s, in terms of stuff like respecting people’s citizenship.

“Nine months later, God became man” ICONIC: god is a trans masc

should be bigger news that ICE raided a taco shop in Tucson and when a sitting member of Congress, on her way to lunch, stepped into a protest to ask ICE what they were doing they pepper sprayed her and tear gassed everyone on the block

I really wanna start something like this in my area but my neighborhood is called Valley Glen. Guess I’m going to have to start learning about different valleys and glens.

Started reading a random comedy memoir that was published in 2017 and likely written in the pre-Trump era. Y’all, everything was so much better then. It was truly a different time. It felt like I was reading the 1913 society pages from the trenches at the Somme.

The best thing about watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary is learning that, yes, George Washington was specifically and individually racist as fuck.

I was just about to brag that my Congressional Rep didn't vote for that roll call denouncing socialism, only to find out she is cosponsoring a bill called "AI For All". You win some, you lose some. Or at least that's what Gemini tells me in between attempts at spelling blueebberrry.

"We're activists" "What's your activism" "Harassing transfems online"

"both sides are bad" is a thought-terminating cliche that doesn't actually provide any solution to the democrats being worthless when it comes to making actual good changes (because they dont want to) But its hard to properly fight them when the republicans are planning to do another holocaust.

Conservative people do not think systemically. When something bad happens to them or someone they view sympathetically, they do not then extend that experience to "... and therefore this is wrong and we should stop it." They believe their experience is the exception.

Megyn Kelly being more concerned with the psychological damage that might result from kids seeing a Black Santa Claus than a middle-aged man forcing himself on an underage girl sums up the ethical and moral bankruptcy of MAGA.

We need the 5th wave of feminism right the fuck now and the absolute minimum viable project is an alliance of trans fems, sex workers, and healthcare workers fighting for personal, political, and workplace autonomy with the militancy of the revolution in Rojava Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Jupiter says trans rights

Mamdani is going to implement the Shanshu Prophecy. A vampire with a soul will play a pivotal role in the apocalypse. As a reward, they will be restored into a mortal human being.

Here’s a thought: what if it wasn’t the DEI, but the fact that most organizations only adopted DEI as a messaging strategy and not as a policy strategy? Are we ready for that conversation?

If pronouns are "biological" now, then everyone has to go by they/them until they get a DNA test that proves they are biologically entitled to use gendered pronouns. And they have to carry that on their person to show people in order to be entitled to be called their biological pronouns.

TIL Mount Everest is named after some dead white guy. And not even the dead white guy who climbed it! Its name in Sanskrit is Sagarmatha. Its name in Tibetan is Qomolangma.

Dick Cheney was 84. Which is pretty old, but not really *that* old for a very prominent and very rich guy who was a public figure. Just putting that out there. Something to think about.
