REMINDER: "free speech" won't exist in the fascist ethnostate

Show up for your LGBTQ+ neighbors, family, friends, classmates, teachers, co-workers etc. and make the costs of individual and institutional homo/transphobia impossibly high.

I really am tired of the "product of the time" excuse. Whatever marginalization also existed in that time. They were able to see and want and demand their full humanity.
Yet why isn't that the barometer? It's always the bigoted and racist worldview that gets a weighted importance

We'll stand by this statement every time. If a company is offering "military-grade data protection” or “military-grade encryption," just walk on by.

The view from NASA's Artemis mission yesterday is just...words fail me.

When you hear media blaming the striking rail workers for being the ones that threatened the economy, that's not a neutral reporting. The railroad companies were willing to threaten the economy because they wanted to be able to fire people for calling in sick or going to the doctor. Painting the strikers as the irresponsible ones is propaganda.

One of my key issues is that I believe people need to express what is going on inside to those around them. This is a great big world and not everyone knows what everyone else is going through. They may never imagine what you are going through without you telling them. There are so many things that most people just will never experience. But they do have the capacity to empathise if someone explains it to them.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

I’ve been saying this for years.

Boost and fav if you agree!

Courtney Milan tweeted the thread below, with the screenshot, let me give you the call to action: contact your Senators and ask them to pass the bill with 15 or the largest number of sick days/year they can. We do *not* want sick people handling essential infrastructure, we need to avoid a tragedy or long term destruction of the railroad.

Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong, even if you provide afterwards for the child to be adopted, or give the mother support to or anything after the birth, because being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong in the first place.

Forced birth is involuntary servitude. I’ve been asked many times why I think Republicans want to control people’s bodies or why they won’t support basic needs like healthcare or livable wages. It’s because this is their desired outcome. More poverty is a bonus for them.
