Because every anti-trans bill to pass through Congress in the last year passed with *juuuuust enough* Democratic votes, all while the entire party stays silent on trans elimination. Isn't that interesting.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand peopleβs IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.
Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.
It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

No Republican gives a damn about gun violence - Sandy Hook was the final proof of that - but they hate and want to destroy trans people
On the theme of censorship, I didnβt find out how transition works from school or from my church or from anyone with a duty of care to me. I found out from a novel.

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times. Jennifer Lee Rosman @JenLRossman: Weβre disabled, Daniel, weβre not werewolves
7 years later and I still whisper, βWeβre disabled, Daniel, not werewolvesβ to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like itβs the latest hipster indie band.
This is, ultimately, what everyone in politics thinks about trans people.
This, or worse.
ffs place descriptions are some of my favorite gd things to WRITE
Who is looking at the place? What do they notice? Why? What does it make them think of? What does it make them feel? Who are they, that they are who they are in this specific place?
Seems like maybe a skill issue, I dunno
Shylock is a slur. It means Jewish bankers who fleece people for high interest. Trump knows it. Heβs referred to Jews using this slur more than once. Where are all the people that love to shout antisemitism on both sides of the aisle? Nowhere. Cause they donβt actually fucking care about Jews.
1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them
If you ever told me I was overreacting to the political situation over the past 8 years? I hope you fucking suffer you pathetic sack of shit. And I hope it's by your own hand.
Hey you know how once upon a time the US went to war against fascism
Yeah, can someone do that to the US now? Please?
I grew up spending half my time in a Socialist version of the United States, and it was *very good*.
It's one of the reasons the VA gets shit on so much by veterans... while also having far and away the highest customer satisfaction of any health care provider.
Lesbian 1: "Kneel."
Lesbian 2: "Make me."
Lesbian 1, grabbing Lesbian 2's chin: "You would not survive that process. In our shared interest of your continued existence and future pleasure, I urge you to reconsider your lack of compliance."
Lesbian 2: *kneels*
Been banging this drum for a while. If you like an artist or artist's work, say so publicly :) we don't do it for the compliments but they sure don't fucking hurt

I'm gonna be getting bottom surgery revision tomorrow, so I won't be able to keep up the advertising blitz. But just a reminder that I have a book up for preorder on itch, a dark fantasy with a dragon protagonist and a focus on themes of trauma and belonging.
Even we take the charitable interpretation that βthis is directly lifting this specific interpretation of hadesβ thatβs STILL not a good criticism because thatβs literally part of the cycle of artistic expression? People lift ideas from each other, that is to be expected, not admonished.
