"The algorithm isn't going to like this," I whisper, as I cast a wary glance toward a darkening sky.

it's going to be fun watching all these rich idiots lose their money

Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic filed paperwork Monday for what could be the biggest initial public offering of stock ever, even as its top executive warns that advanced AI could pose an existential threat to humanity.

Which is exactly what their billionaire owners want, as we see in Britain. They win, trans people get their rights erased. They lose, trans people get their rights erased, as billionaires demand. The alternative - putting forth candidates that don't suck - is violently opposed by them for a reason.

Be careful who you say "enjoy the camps" to; you'll be saying it right along with them. I felt this way when I lost my reproductive rights in 2022 & I stand with the trans community in refusing to accept losing their rights. You will enjoy the fruits of your shit party's failures with all of us

A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

"We can turn them around after" No, you fucking can't. You literally have no leverage once a pol is elected. You gave them power in the face of their promises. You rewarded their messages. You told them that it wasn't a dealbreaker. They have no reason to reverse course once elected.

Protests in Paris over deteriorating schools have been going on over a month Protesters in Romania burned down the Supreme Court bc it allowed government to make corrupt deals with the Trump family Meanwhile in America we have a fascist dictator & people are planning parades & choreographed dances

It’s like he never learned about 1930s Germany and who were the first to go to the “work” camps before the Jewish population. Trans, queer, disabled, communist, and socialist.

I'm a cis guy that talks to other cis people about trans rights not because I'm super invested in the trans struggle in particular, I've only known a handful of trans people in my life, but because I recognize how fascism takes root. Same reason I give a shit about Palestine. No capitulation. Ever.

i think everyone getting mad are just cowards who are scared to directly say they think the transphobic policies are good

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

oh wow, the exact thing liberals said was NOT happening happened again? hey liberals, are you finally gonna admit that your stupid party has a transphobia problem?

Hey Americans, if you vote for candidates like this you're a Nazi. Sorry, that's just how it works. If you don't understand how things work, fucking figure it out. If you disagree with this very simple-to-understand post, you can go fuck yourself and block me, I don't talk to fucking Nazis.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Do complete strangers routinely use your oppression and endangerment in real life as a throwaway thought experiment that is still for some reason considered unquestionably worth sacrificing your life to carry out, or are you cis?

As well as France, Spain and Albania, protests continue in Italy as well tonight. These are the most widespread prolonged protests that Europe has ever had.

Blsky is fun, and in many ways far superior to the Other Place, but I had an exchange with someone here that was convinced that *mentioning* things that some find offensive is just as offensive as the thing itself, so no one should ever *mention* anything that one might find offensive. So, like...

I am so goddamn jealous

As well as the protests in France, protests in Albania continue where the Government tries to cling onto control despite the fact it has clearly lost it.

As a culture, we have to get a lot more comfortable saying yeah it sucks for you that you’re uncomfortable and that is a personal problem that you personally are gonna have to solve. And saying it to cis white women specifically.

I like to point out that the segregationist KKK wives in the 1950s were being truthful when they said they would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a Black woman. The solution to this is that "uncomfortable" does not justify discrimination against other people.

For the majority if governments, citizens are merely a tool, if they can’t use you as a prop or a punching bag, they’re not actually interested in whether you live or die 50,000 people die from extreme heat *shrug* A trans woman is using a public toilet “We must put a stop to this”
