The christofascists over in the US will say some shit like "real god-fearing christians hate functioning infrastructure" and then the pope will go "actually with infrastructure you can go get catholic guilt in church more easily" and a bunch of people will go "wow. the pope is so good" like no.

There's no getting around the fact that the UK state wants to keep conversion practices for trans people legal.

EXTREMELY CORRECT and why I'm celebrating

i think "would i trust this person to watch my drink" is actually a very reasonable standard to hold elected officials to

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.

But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.

It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong...

this thread is for you.

First: prompt questions to get you started.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

I think this is really important, and I'm worried it's never going to filter into the mainstream: Finland is producing studies that their researchers claim cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth, but they hide the ways their idiosyncratic approach itself could be to blame.

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

It is lost in the chaos of everything today but it is bug fuckin nuts that the VP is IN ANOTHER COUNTRY at a rally specifically to ensure a fellow fascist is reelected as Prime Minister.

I cannot think of another time a VP POLITICALLY CAMPAIGNED FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT in my lifetime

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

literally every politician should be pelted with rotten fruit and handfuls of shit every single time they're out in public until they get rid of this motherfucker

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

the lesson from today’s downtime isn’t that it was caused by vibe coding (bluesky went down all the time before Claude too), it’s that if you use AI you will no longer get the benefit of the doubt and everyone will mock you for laziness regardless of the cause

This needs more attention!💞
Everything helps. Share and give if you can. Please Don't Ignore.

please please repost, i can not deal with my car getting towed

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

Created a thread for Black trans folks specifically because I can literally see how y'all skip over the Black trans mutual aids in those big threads.

Are we not visible to y'all?
Are we not part of the trans community?

If only for today, make an effort to CONTRIBUTE to Black trans mutual aids! 🏳️‍⚧️

FUN FACT: You personally interact with dozens, even hundreds of artists and storytellers on this website every day who dedicate 0% of their resources to directly harming trans people. Many of them have comics, or albums, or podcasts, or even fantasy novels available for your guilt-free enjoyment!

I've said it before but if we can't solve the disinformation problem, we won't solve anything else.

Climate change, inequality, fascism... in all cases the powerful are working to detach the majority of people from reality so that they are never challenged. And it is working.

translation: my white straight middle-class unmarked perspective is universal, but marked perspectives (from ppl who are POC, LGBTQ, poor, etc.) do not count & must be rejected...

You know you can just kidnap most older tgirls. They're really tired and just go limp in acceptance the moment they realize they don't have to shoulder the burden of personal responsibility anymore.

This is the point of the whole fucking campaign not a side effect, transphobes think (correctly as it turns out) that by driving trans people from public life they can tear apart and destroy the entire organizational and social apparatus of the feminist left

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Daily reminder than Epic sucks
