We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

I know I’m being annoying on this but even with a little breathing room I can’t afford to not push on this with how hit or miss it can be! $150 keeps me inside till Monday! #HomelessSky #mutualaid #helpsky #fundsky #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive2026 #maboost #urgent 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️

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

duh

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

the handful of die-hard anti-trans voters that exist are going to vote GOP no matter what. so this ad will not pick up a single new voter. all it does is further disenfranchise trans ppl – a marginalized group MAGA hates. this is a pro-MAGA ad & Turek is furthering MAGA's cause by airing it

Shit’s tough right now, I need motel money, grocery money, I’m living day to day. I need at least $140 for a couple nights and $50 for groceries ko-fi.com/roboliz www.paypal.me/secretvault #HomelessSky #mutualaid #helpsky #fundsky #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive2026 #maboost #urgent 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️

I'm going to point out that Jesse Singal has a very public track record of being intensely, specifically cruel to individuals, specifically the trans people who criticize him, whom he has hounded to their workplaces, harassed online, and (at times) successfully gotten fired from their jobs

This is similar to the way that anti-sex-work feminists have historically stood to gain cushy jobs in policy around border control and policing spheres through their feminist practices against minoritised women. These things are conflicts over status and positioning within hierarchies of oppression

Jo Rowling's accusation of elitism is a bit like the way some people who are pieces of shit like to say "you think you are better than me" indignantly to justify being pieces of shit. I don't think we should read much more than that We are better than her personally. We're not elite, the bar is low

because they are already normalized

Also, when she says “elitist”, with “the correct superior beliefs” etc, to her it’s the outrage at the fact These People think theyre morally superior to her. It maddening to her that she is seen as evil and people side with trans people. It ~feels~ like oppression to her to be judged as immoral

"Two conservative justices, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas, said they would have granted the administration’s emergency request to stop the treatments." nothing i want to say falls within the ToS

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

Anyway remeber when everyone instantly stoped caring about kids in cages when biden won?

Trans people are a materially real category of person whether you like it or not, and no amount of navel-gazing word games will change the fact that the punishment society levels at those who declare their belonging to that category is blatantly unjust.

I do think that a major failure point of a lot of mainstream trans activism is the focus on responding to attacks on trans people in the same arena that those attacks are being made, i.e., indulging the notion that this is a philosophical debate over gender metaphysics and trying to win that one.

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

"Which categories of people are allowed to use what bathrooms" is a debate wholly disconnected from the material reality that anti-trans sentiment is making public bathrooms less safe for real trans people on the ground in real life. "Allowed" doesn't factor into it, that's not how it works.

Repeat after me: I am not queerer than Pete Hegseth. I am not queerer than David French. I am not queerer than Maxwell Frost. I am not queerer than Taylor Swift. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be queerer than I am.

BOOM! Finally somebody takes down those arrogant little preschoolers and their so-called art: "Adults outperformed children on externally rated creativity, particularly in structured tasks."

Musk’s wealth is a threat to democracy—not just in the U.S. but everywhere. He’s probably the greatest threat to the free world today.

One thing they like to leave out is half the time their kids are fucking 35 and gave them repeated warnings about their abysmal behaviour and bigotry. But your property doesn't get to say "enough" or "no", and they truly believe they have an intrinsic right to their children and grandchildren.

I hope they also remember to point out that trans kids and adults are currently being subjected to Points (b), (c), and (e), of the UN definition of genocide, by the UK government and its agencies.

the great thing about Vivek's campaign dramatically committing suicide is it will make it impossible to attribute Acton's win to her transphobia, lol
