AOC: The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America you compromise the rights of every citizen in America.

More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

Some of my favorite quotes: "There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism... it is a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth." "They have co-opted the son of God. They have turned this humble rabbi into a gun toting, gay bashing, science denying money loving fear mongering fascist." 1/4

"The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, healing the sick. ... If this was a Christian nation we would forgive student debt. If this was a Christian nation, we would guarantee healthcare to every person." 2/4

Billionaires are trying to burn the world down just so they don’t have to contribute to society

One of the worst consequences of this referendum is that conspiracy addled maniacs who most people would ignore and actively avoid are platformed and made to feel important, further perpetuating their fantasies and grievance-fueled delusions.

We could be ensuring cradle-to-grave care for all citizens of the world if we taxed every billionaire. This is at *best* a tax dodge, most likely an attempt to get people to forget he's a transphobic piece of South African shit who uses his vast wealth to dismantle democracies around the world.

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

Illustrator: Ha ha but what if draw a Harry Potter character as trans, that will make it ok for me to give the Mold Witch my money, approval, & attention by watching her new show! No, stop that, let it go already, you're a grown adult, & she's a hateful fascist who wants to harm the most vulnerable

The billionaires have destroyed Americans' access to reliable information, in a multitude of ways. Democracy cannot function with an ignorant public, and our ignorance is skyrocketing.

As a parent I need to sign 5 forms so they can get Tylenol and can use the medication they are prescribed and bring to school themselves. The idea that a school is transitioning kids is batshit insane and anyone saying stuff like that should not be taken seriously by anyone.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Attorney General Todd Blanche was on Fox News last night railing against "Secret School Gender Transitions," which Blanche described as a "pandemic that's happening in some school districts around the country"

Stealing from the people/the government are always at the core of what's going on with the American right. I shouldn't be surprised by that, since they often accuse others of what they want to do (every accusation is a confession), and they love talking about Leftists taking other people's money...

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

Let's convince Trump to rename Niagara. I think it would sense to have a landmark called America Falls at this point.

I really wish people would really internalize that Trump is a sadistic bully who’s a coward at heart. If you give him what he wants, he’ll come back to see what he can get out of you the next day and the day after that. And he’ll never give you anything in return.

Grae Hall@graehall.bsky.social

If Google and Apple bend the knee and rename Lake Ontario on their maps then they'll show again how deeply sold out they are to the crazed whims of the fascist pedophile Trump So act accordingly when choosing which products to buy and use

The only way you survive him without giving up everything little by little is to refuse to give in to him from the start, and make yourself such a tough target for him that he moves on to someone who gives up and gives in easily. And because he’s a coward, he’ll do that instead of fighting.

Yep. You go as progressive as you can every time. Sometimes it won't be all that progressive, but you make do until next time. Sometimes you'll have someone that you think is the most progressive candidate you'll get for a long time and one term later there might be someone you ditch them for.

Mayor #Mamdani is what you get when people who loudly declare "no candidate is good enough *for meeeeeeee!*" stop being wilfully dumb and get to the polls. There is no waifu candidate, and never will be. Vote for the best, most progressive candidate that you have, now. Repeat as needed.

This is a strategy for a political movement, not trying to find your one true love. None of them will wave a wand and fix everything right away. It's going to be the work of decades. But every time we sit out because someone isn't perfect, that timeline get longer and it's harder to succeed.

It’s official: the Nerd Reich podcast is getting banned from YouTube….the week of my book launch! Incredible timing, since I’ll be all over the media next week talking about tech fascism. They can delete my account. They can’t stop my work. Buy the book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Here's what he's serious about: Making sure that all news services are of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs, and in favor of the oligarchs. If he and the other oligarchs pull it off, there will be very few people (too few to matter in, say, presidential elections), who will get their news elsewhere.

There's a full scale PR campaign to convince you that David Ellison is serious about fact based news. Bullsh*t. If that were true, he would have hired someone with actual news experience to run CBS News. There's no way this guy should control CNN, too. jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/david-elli...

So besides AI, the only other growth industries in the US seem to be diarrhoea tablets and toilet roll. Maybe pants, depending on how quickly it sets in.
