You can tell someone's childhood trauma based on who their favorite Percy Jackson characters are, a thread

Look how they have romanticised this headline. Woman dies days after her partner is found dead.

Only when you read the article does it tell you Zoe Marie Dixon was bludgeoned with a hammer by her partner and it took her 6 days to die in hospital

He ran off and killed himself

This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year.

He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them.

His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage.

No protests. No noise.

EVEN IF YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT AND EVEN IF YOU CAME INTO THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT DOING IT THE “LEGAL WAY” EVEN THEN YOU DON’T DESERVE TO DIE. IMMIGRANTS DON’T DESERVE TO DIE. BROWN PEOPLE DON’T DESERVE TO DIE. THEY DONT DESERVE TO BE HUNTED DOWN & PHYSICALLY ABUSED AND THEN KILLED.

ICE IS KIDNAPPING INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

[claire de lune @ClaireMPLS]

i know it's really unpleasant but please don't look away from what's happening, we need to all be in loud vocal opposition to this

When we put our photos online we are not consenting to having them modified and turned into sexually explicit content.

Asking AI to remove our clothing is sexual abuse.

You are behaving like a predator.

If your response is “just don’t post photos” you are part of the problem

Millions of Americans are about to see their health insurance premiums double or triple.

Many will be forced to go without insurance because they can’t afford the premiums.

More people will die.

These are preventable deaths.

It’s a cull.

[xendorph @themain_desk]

DUDE !!!!

Every country that had citizens on the flotilla should be doing this.

Every country.

[jazyn @notjasond100]

this is proof that liberals can do collective action. they just dont want to because they do not see black, brown, and trans people as people worth saving.

[Alabama Revolutionary🌹✊🏾 @TerrellLeftist]

Dean, let me be clear. I understand your instinct for sympathy and your aversion to celebrating any death. As a Black man, however, my reality is shaped by witnessing figures like Charlie Kirk consistently spew hateful rhetoric to a white audience, rhetoric that is then weaponized against my community.

You, as a white man, may feel a abstract sympathy for him. I feel the very real, tangible danger his words incite. People who listen to him are moved to anger and violence against people who look like me.

To use a historical parallel: would you expect enslaved people to mourn the slaveowners who whipped them and hanged their families? While the mechanisms are different, the dehumanizing rhetoric that leads to harm is the same.

You say you can't support us if we wish death upon white supremacists. That is a privilege of your distance from the violence they inspire. For you, it's a philosophical debate. For us, it's about survival.

If your support for my community is contingent on us showing grace to those who wish us harm, then that was never true support to begin with.

To my moots in the UK, do any of y’all know of a small queer business I can support? My bestie’s birthday is next month and would love to get her Asexual jewelry. Just point me to their store or their Etsy or something so I can check them out 🙇🏾‍♀️

Those who want to cancel “Black History Month” and “Pride” are THE reason we have a Black History Month and Pride

Georgia has canceled nearly 471,000 voter registrations. You can check your status right now on the My Voter Page to make sure you’re still registered.

The Columbia heights residents chasing ICE out of the community and chanting is, whether you like it or not, a total cultural victory for the IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE signs

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

just saw that a teenage boy living in a tent among rubble was killed trying to catch a box of flour that came falling out of the sky. maybe i should listen to a new york times podcast where people debate the definition of genocide

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

Remember that stories like this are not just mistakes or the unintended consequences of the anti-trans panic. The goal isn't just pushing trans people out of public life--the goal is making you so afraid of trans women you'll police how all women look and behave
