One of the worst things about this is, the man he interrupted to say "kill them" was talking about forced mass institutionalization and indefinite incarceration of the mentally ill. That's bad! That's *really* bad! They're making this guy apologize for saying the *extra* quiet part out loud.
Everything’s been so bad I didn’t have a chance to actually read more about this, but holy god this is bleak. In another section, he is seeking the ability to be able to selectively revoke passports based on these speech-based criteria. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...
I appreciate the people who are recommending I log off until the death threats pass, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider it. But here's the thing: if they didn't attack me, they'd attack someone else, probably a racialized person.
For as long as I can remember, Star Trek has been equal parts escape, inspiration, and guidance for me. "The Arsenal of Freedom," a TNG Season 1 episode, was my trans realization moment at 5 years old. When I was little, I would tell people I want to make Star Trek real when I grew up -
I see YT’s doing yet more things to confuse, scare, and harm video creators. Another day, another reminder that the relationship between YouTuber and YouTube is an abusive one. If you’re privileged enough to be doing well on YT, use the success while you have it to build a life somewhere else.
I think this same argument applies to so-called "cancel culture," where established pundits decry students & activists (read: non-elites) who merely express our own views as being "censorious," while ignoring countless attempts by elites (politicians, administrations, media) to literally censor us
Yesterday I apologized to Mercy for all the stress and the death threats. I don't know exactly how many it is but it has to be thousands. And she looks at me and says "I hope you wouldn't do anything differently, because I wouldn't." And then she kissed me. I don't know what I did to deserve her.
The right-wing UK media ecosystem is so emboldened with promoting ‘gender critical’ transphobic brain rot that it’s now publishing made up trans-hostile opinion pieces (written by an LGB Alliance Director) using massive false equivalence to jam “trans” with any horrible thing they can find! 😖
I’ve long been intrigued by the hypothesis that OS may have an outsized influence on shaping the worldview of users, and this only cements my belief. Contrast Apple’s decision to correctly label the DM as a tabloid with Microsoft’s insistence that every tabloid be pushed directly to the start menu.
The Scottish Government has confirmed it will challenge For Women Scotland’s legal bid to remove guidance that allows male-born prisoners to be housed with women and permits transgender pupils to use single-sex facilities and sports in line with their gender identity 👏👏👏 👉 archive.ph/X1wxO
you ever stop and think way too long about what the world would be if teddy roosevelt had beaten taft for the nomination, and thereby absolutely stomped wilson in the general? the hell would this country even be if we'd had socialized medicine and a ban on political lobbying for the last 110 years
this is very much obviously a Cis Person Trying to Understand narrative and is dated in a lot of ways (deadnaming, trapped in the wrong body etc) but the essence of it is very sweet and humane. the fact that he ends it on “she’s still the same brilliant artist and we wish her all the best” rules
And as we all know, the only legal way to determine someone's motives is for them to explicitly detail them in their own words. There are simply no other tools available to seek these answers. Perhaps one day we will invent some kind of "investigator," but this is beyond our current ability.
I spent a lot of time yesterday arguing this, but for me there's a principle at stake. I watched the video. I heard the man's words. An elite consensus does not get to dictate that what I saw and heard weren't true. It's not expert knowledge, it's plain English. I can interpret it for myself.
I sat outside this morning and drank tea under the sky, then did my strength circuits and then went to church, and now I'm heading onto a yoga class. Might turn my phone off and leave it off for the rest of the day. Maybe we should all do the same. Take care of yourselves, my darlings.
lot of people in these comments who have never heard of FCC network broadcasting standards are acting like “fuck ICE” getting bleeped is some Huge Conspiracy and not simply that they are trying to avoid fines for the word “fuck.” your ignorance is not proof of a conspiracy lmao.
I see a lot of “but people can’t control their views because of propaganda” in the wake of recent events, and while I get that people are not immune to propaganda, I also subscribe to the idea that people should use their fucking brains and not be easy marks
