non-disabled people really do not talk about (because they do not experience) how fucking awful the medical system treats chronically ill patients and I haaate it. Literally just got testing that shows EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING w/ my breathing issues, and my doctor is dismissing them as "not severe"

Yet another reason why KOSA (and its ilk) are inherently queerphobic laws and anyone who supports them - from either party! - needs to be run out of office yesterday.
I was able to connect with other trans people for the first time in my life. I discovered that people actually liked my writing on Twitter. I was able to build my career on Twitter. Twitter changed and probably saved my life.

watching misogynistic men trash on kat, who ran an amazing campaign full of shit that dems should've embraced decades ago (not even just policy - in form and function) is really something.
"This does not mean that this last year has been for nothing," @katmabu.bsky.social speaks to the crowd for the first time in Andersonville tonight, conceding her race for Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress to Evanston mayor Daniel Biss.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.
i don't want to hear any of you fucks glazing the slackjawed governor of california after this. ik he had minimal to do with this specific matter but his messaging is part of the fucking problem.
BREAKING: SCOTUS shadow docket decision rules in favor of forced outing of trans students, reinstating a lower court ruling against California's law prohibiting forced outing. Also references forcing teachers to misgender trans students. Horrific precedent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Torturing trans women prisoners by executive fiat, and doubling down on said torture as soon as they attempt to fight back. This is what trans genocide in the USA right now looks like.
"If you want to make it home alive, you need to stop sending stuff to that fucking judge" "I don't give a fuck what the judge says, I do what I want"

There is absolutely no reason for Sam Altman to say anything but he is currently digging the biggest hole possible, responding to all and sundry on Twitter. This is the worst possible statement he could have given!
Keep going Sam! One more post ought to do it, whatever it is you’re trying to do is working.

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.
The Supreme Leader insisted on not taking special security measures even though he knew the attacks were about to start and was killed in his home. He wanted to die this way. The concept of martyrdom is an extremely potent, galvanizing force in Shia and Iranian culture.

Hey hi this is purely a genocidal attempt at erasure of trans people from public life. I need cis people to realize this is exactly where republicans are at right now, and act accordingly for fucks sake (e.g. not whatever @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's dumbass is saying/doing abt this).
This has been said before by many people but one of the things that pisses me off about Newsom types is like, ok fine, let's say you're "right" about idpol/trans issues (you're not but) - be the change you wish to see. You have a platform. Stfu about how bad this is and talk about "tabletop issues".
It feels like Newsom is trying to position himself as "outside of the democratic core" or whatever when he is very much within that system, and has the more power out of anyone to change the course of the discourse amongst his supporters and nationally, if he just would.. use his platform to do that

Minneapolis had three of these within 17 days, so you'll need to be more specific with your headline. "ICE Tried to Justify a Minneapolis Shooting. Its Story Unraveled." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/u...

I feel like it's a good time to restate that my rapist was never prosecuted by the Republican DA at the time for Tarrant County in Texas, who served for 3 decades. In fact he had some of the lowest prosecution rates for SA and rape cases. Republicans have always defended rapists and predators.
The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them
lol. lmao. this happening against the backdrop of me literally still recovering from a bad bout of the flu + a secondary bacterial infection is super amazing. the trump admin wants us to fucking die.
It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...
