Anyway here's Dave Weigel with some very reasonable transphobia

Being trans means living with a history that’s been actively hidden from us. We didn’t just appear at Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in 1919 or Compton’s Cafeteria in 1966. Yet even as we try to find any future, we have to push against the full flow of cis, homophobic history to see ourselves.

this is kind of bleak, but it's interesting to be in Kenya and see people discuss police brutality without ever blaming the victims. there isn't a contingent of loud white people saying Black people deserve it. and it's a relief and allows folks to be focused on the true enemy

i'm sorry but if your argument is "republicans aren't listening to the new york times about trans people" you are just lying. they keep citing it in their fucking bills

What were you doing when you were 20 years old ? Karam, at 20, has taken on the responsibility of his entire family and is trying to help them escape a genocide ! Good people of Bluesky … let’s help save lives 🙏🏻 I’ve been in contact with Karam for a few days now.

Hello friends, we have changed the goal of the campaign because of the encouragement from the good friends I made through Bluesky. At first the goal of the campaign was to provide supplies for my family but now the goal of the campaign is to get my family to safety and I hope to get your support.🍉❤️

Cursed now by the thought of a Steve Winwood / Iggy Pop collab double album with each record dominated by one artist a la Speakerboxx / The Love Below: Higher Power / Raw Love

I had to look at it 3 times to accept that it was not Iggy. This could be the cover for like the Steve Winwood mix of Raw Power or something

Can you imagine if the gunman was Black. How different this would be presented as. Turns out you can shot a former president and still get a victim narrative if you’re white.

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.

Just sitting here thinking about how murdering protesters with cars was a thing that became common under that guy's watch and he cheered for it.

I assure you, no one is psychologically strong enough to overcome repeated exposure to propaganda messages. Even if you reject them personally they become a heuristic for how you think other people think.

There are like a hundred thousand people on Bluesky who could do better comms than the Dems

If it's true it was a RW extremist there's a clear takeaway: The violent, hate-fueled rhetoric of Trump's GOP has is so out of control it's even a danger to Trump himself now. We can't allow a man whose reckless, extremist rhetoric even endangers his own life to keep endangering the country.

It is quite noticeable that Democrats have, in less than 24 hours, expressed more sympathy for a guy who didn’t actually get killed than for the tens of thousands of Palestinians who’ve been brutally murdered over the last several months.

who is the voter who’s going to think “damn i hate donald trump but he survived getting grazed on the ear by a bullet, i gotta vote for him” — and continue to think it, regardless of anything else, until they vote in four months. who is that person

The thing I'm worried about - aside from more violence - is Democrats losing momentum on pushing back on Project 2025 now because of decorum or whatever. I don't know how much they were really leading the charge there, but it works better if the Biden campaign keeps bringing it up.

Jamal is at 46,195£ right now and there are rumors the Rafah Crossing may be opening soon- we need 60,000£ to get his family out. We missed the first opportunity to do this when the fees were only 25,000£. I really don’t want to miss another one. If you have a little to give please do.

We were killed in all ways, in all places, and in the most horrific ways. There is no end? There is no justice in this world? There is no stopping this waterfall of blood?

Me: "It's too bad that the fascist ex-President brought this on himself. Let's hope that he decides to condemn political violence from now on." NYT: Kaba blames the victim. Me: He's not the victim. He's the arsonist. I said what I said.

I hate JD Vance so much. JD Vance is what would happen if a salmon colored polo shirt and a pair of boat shoes wanted to be a real boy.
