We're seeing capitulating and knee-bending all over lately, and this trend is just going to accelerate. Like, the system is NOT going to save us. It gave up before the fight even began.

We're going to have to come to terms with the fact that if we're going to get through this, we'll need to save ourselves. The time for building communities and engaging in mutual aid is now. We need each other. Do NOT comply in advance.

Oh, wow. I certainly was not expecting an assassination of a CEO anytime soon, despite how chaotic things are going to get. If the executive class starts feeling like they're on the chopping block, things could get very bad for the working class, especially with Trump on the horizon. Unlike us, they have class solidarity.

Yep, the moment you have to explain it, you've already lost; the normies will check out. That's the thing, these sites depend on having a huge userbase and people just aren't going to go to a site with "nobody on it". I maintain an account on both Mastodon and Bluesky... they're both pretty neat in their own way. But Mastodon isn't ever going to be the virtual town square. I kinda like it quiet there, tbh.

 

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

yeah, I live in Washington state, so I'm covered there. though, I'm not exactly enthused about my life depending on politicians deciding not to capitulate. thankfully, we bucked the trend this election and actually went more left.

I got an ADHD diagnosis and started on adderall a few months ago. I fucking hate these people so much.

so i guess even if they manage to forcibly detransition me and not just kill me, I have this to look forward to? fuuuuuuck.

 

so much for "free speech". it'd be almost impossible to find someone with thinner skin than The Donald.

He was a few years ago, though I think the courts finally made him fuck off. his grift may have caught up with him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lol, I still have no idea why he did that

ugh, Eyman is insufferable. dude tried to force $30 car tabs for like two decades.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I saw that. I'm very glad we got one of our own in Congress, but it's likely too little, too late.

I don't think I'll be able to go anywhere, realistically, anyway. I'm going to hold down the fort in my blue state and hope they shield me from the worst.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

thank you. I really appreciate that.

 

per Decision Desk, it looks like trump won. I'm starting to see a few outlets like NBC call Pennsylvania for trump, too.

as a trans woman, i'm fucking terrified.

yeah, if you voted for trump this election, after everything over the last ~9 years, you're fucking evil. straight up evil. lots of people, worldwide, are going to suffer because of this as the world falls deeper under the influence of fascism. take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones, form communities, and be prepared to fight for your lives. we're going to need each other if we're going to to make it through this

Had my name change hearing a couple days ago, I'm now legally Audrey! Going to the office for the first time in girl mode and I'm terrified. I'm honestly kinda concerned that the timing of this might prevent me from voting. I live in Seattle, though, so it won't affect the Presidential election

 

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump said told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he added.

 

We all knew that Jill Stein was running as a spoiler, but to have someone on her team openly admit that? They're openly aiding and abetting the rise of fascism in the U.S.

It's not like they couldn't put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they're about to do something controversial again soon.
