To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.
Of course the majority of people don't support puberty blockers
I wouldn't either if all I knew about them was all the made up trash the media reports about them
That's the main issue. The lies reported as facts. The transphobia reported as facts. The coverage of trans people.
Absolutely knocking it out of the park once again.
Well that escalated quickly (in the best possible way, love this)
Read this thread if you're in need of some hope
Well the book did play it straight and we're halfway though a fascist coup so I guess this isn't exactly shocking
Thanks to the generosity of our backers on Kickstarter, our print-only science fiction anthology has now launched its first issue! Sonder Speculation splits all profits evenly between the creators and I'm so proud of what we've put together.

And somehow simultaneously claiming that the car chose to run a marathon and has stronger muscles than a human. Also sometimes the car just lies and says it drove 26 miles but it actually drove -3.

Nope, not even the Industrial Revolution, nice try.
The concept of a normal human.
Yeah, the spread of information (and therefore misinformation) had something to do with it, but the most dangerous fucking thing they could have done was codify their prudish white aggressively gendered nonsense.
And if you can’t leave, you’re in a cult.
How do totalitarian regimes happen?
One person or one organization gets control of all the other cults.

Yeah I knew about Yarvin, the PayPal mafia, and the "Dark Enlightenment" neoreactionaries, so when I found out about DOGE I knew what direction this was all headed. It was only ever a question of how much they would get away with and who would push back when and how successfully

Does...does he know he's allowed to use his mana potions in the final boss fight
Oh cool so that's what the former Obama chief of staff is up to. Feeling real good about my odds of having human rights in the foreseeable future...
