maybe stop lamenting about who your choices are for president & instead start figuring out why you have no idea who your state & local politicians are

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

People in our community are scared right now, and rightly so. I'm scared for my future too. But I believe our best response is not despair, but to get organized and fight for our rights. Don't wait until November to start. One way is to help build the Oct. 19 National March in Columbus.

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

This is so wild. If a car ran a red light and got absolutely demolished by an 18-wheeler, we would rightfully blame the car. Now imagine the traffic light had a flashing light, a bell, and a gate that came down in front to stop you from moving?

If only train tracks had some sort of flashing lights or gates to keep people off the tracks when a train is coming through. Someone should look into that.

I have heard a ridiculous number of people say that "trans people don't care about detransitioners." Which is wild kuz like who do you think is the support network for most detrans people? And anyone who knows trans people is in favor of detrans people having good easy access to healthcare.

When you are as small a minority as trans people the cool thing is people will just make shit up about you and it gets accepted as fact because they hear lies more often from cis people than the truth from trans people.

being a trans woman is fun because you get to have special, secret misogyny on top of the regular misogyny but everyone insists you have male privilege.

It’s a long day in a long week of a long month. It’s also a day where I take time to stop and reflect on how grateful I am to be alive. Fourteen years ago, I had my last drink. I never imagined what would follow or where it would lead me, but — with so much help — here I am.

this is both funny and more or less accurate, I think. I tend to believe that there’s a ton of value in “AI as a feature” but so many of the people talking about it are deeply unserious.

stories like this give the lie to the idea that the right is interested in protecting these children. per their own narrative, this girl is a victim of “gender ideology” or whatever. but the reaction from the right is always hostility, ostracization and violence.

People who miss the experience of going to Blockbuster to browse the rows of VHS and DVD's- you may not realize this but most public libraries carry a selection of new and old films. You'd be surprised what you can find just by visiting a place that will loan you books. Support your local library.

Please help with a surgery I have been approved for, waited four years on the NHS to have and due to delays in delivery and capacity I may never get it before the NHS falls apart.

Please contribute. No amount is too small to help.

Happy Pride Month. Remember: Stonewall wasn't a petition, wasn't a letter of concern, wasn't a dismayed tweet. Stonewall was a RIOT against police harassment and brutality led by street queens of color and angry dykes. We are NEVER going back to hiding who we are.

I feel like the way to get rid of "AI" is to use every version of it to fake JK Rowling talking about how much she respects trans people, then just sit back and let her billion dollars and litigious rage do the work for you.

Funny how their "evidence based approach" is devoid of any actual evidence. And the "social justice model" has literal decades of consistent (positive) results.

SSI limits assets to $2k, a limit not changed in 40 years. HR 5408 would raise it to $10k ($20k for married couples). This bill needs more cosponsors!

My MOC (Rep Don Beyer, D-VA) said they're only adding D cosponsors in tandem with new R cosponsors.
