This is an incredible story.

A man assassinates a former prime minister and gives his demands to the government who turn around and go “Actually yeah, these are quite a good ideas.”

omg did not expect to see “we have mainstream research evidence for transmisogyny now” this morning but happy friday?? thanks dr. devon price for pre-digesting it

and of course there’s the angle of, well lmfao yes trans women have been saying this in mainstream print since at least 2007 and doubtlessly in other fora for much longer, but sometimes an argument from authority has more force and how do we emotionally reckon with ongoing lack of agency in conversations about us, but i digressss

not to derail too hard but hate the "the only queer places I trust are the ones with a pet straight cis guy" bc 9/10 times its a transbian who isn't out yet and is being treated like a dude for no reason (and I do mean its)

[hidden-annoying-tgirl]

I will almost certainly get huge amounts of hate for this but since I never check this blog any more IDC.

There are, currently, five large active wars. They are, in order of how many people have been killed in the war (excluding murders and gang fights, unless they involve paramilitary groups)

1) Sudan

2) an ongoing war across much of northern africa, which has been going on for over 20 years

3) Myanmar]

4) Ukraine

5) Palestine

these are not the total casualties across the entire war. these are just 2024 deaths.

There is an ongoing assault against gay rights, and specifically trans rights, across the US

So why the fuck is every pride parade, celebration, and especially protest less about queer rights and safety and about Palestine? None of the other wars get a mention. The very thing we are supposed to be fighting for barely gets a mention. The only thing that gets brought up, and by brought up I mean the only chants I have heard in pride parades are about Palestine, and often involve white queers chanting counter-genocide slogans (not asking for a cease fire, but demanding that anyone not Palestinian to be chased into the sea).

I am not justifying what is happening in Gaza. Netanyahu and most of his government should be tried and convicted for crimes against humanity. There should be a war crimes tribunal to investigate the behavior of the Israeli military, and I would expect a lot of convictions from it. But the way it has become the only cause allowed to be talked about, the way that no other war is seen as important, the way that this one war, which is being used to paint Biden as a monster that cannot be voted for, which is a tactic supported by the russians to get Trump reelected and to distract from their own war crimes and also by the evangelical right who actively want a nuclear war to start in Israel and escalate until everything on earth is dead, is somehow a cause celebre for the left.

Let me reiterate. What is going on in Gaza is horrific. I don’t want to minimize that.

but by focusing on that, we empower fascists across the world to gain power. Letting Trump be elected because you don’t like Biden’s stance on that one war will result in more deaths across the world, and that includes the war you want to get him elected over. Do you really think that the convicted criminal who, against years of US policy, moved the embassy to Jerusalem, the most significant move by any world power to signal support for the right-wing part if Israel, will somehow broker a peace in the war they helped to escalate?

the teal deer here isn’t that we should stop protesting the war in Palestine. It’s simple a plea to keep it in perspective, and not support fascists by making it the only thing you care about

What Joe Biden has Done for LGBTQ+ People

I wanted to list out everything The Biden Administration has done for Queer people in the last 3 and a half years, but according to GLAAD it'd been 337 moves (and I noticed they missed a few things...) there was just no way to list every ground breaking first Queer person ever nominated to fill this or that job, every ally with a historic LGBT rights record nominated for a top job, every beautiful statement of support, every time he tried to get Congress to pass the Equality Act (support it!)

Read the Project 2025 manifesto RIGHT NOW

It's MUCH worse than y'all have been hearing

There is so much here you'll have to look at it for yourself, but the climate policy alone is nightmare fuel.

The republican coalition wants to essentially end funding for green energy, dramatically promote and expand fossil fuel industries, and eliminate funding and regulations in all sectors promoting climate change mitigation. Task forces and offices related to clean energy and lowering carbon emissions will be eliminated and replaced with offices for promoting fossil fuels.

They want to LOG NATIONAL FORESTS TO "THIN" THE TREES TO STOP WILDFIRES.

THEY WANT TO FORCE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA TO LOG THEIR NATIONAL FORESTS AND TREAT THEM AS FOR TIMBER PRODUCTION

There are specific provisions in Project 2025 to essentially destroy the Endangered Species Act, causing it to defer to the rights of "economic development" and "private property." The plan includes delisting gray wolves, cutting the budget so that a "triage" system is used to determine which species will get protection, removing funding for research, removing experts and specialists from the decision-making process, and preventing "experimental" populations of animals from being established.

This is so much worse than I expected it to be and there's much more past that: They want to deregulate pesticides and remove much of the EPA's ability to regulate pollutants as well.

Also included in the manifesto is that we should

withdraw from nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreements, build more nuclear weapons, and resume nuclear weapons testing

The manifesto comprehensively outlines the scorched-earth elimination of abortion access, down to ensuring doctors aren't even trained to perform abortions. There are plans in here to disrupt abortion access GLOBALLY, not just domestically.

Not only that,the Republicans plan on reframing family planning programs around "fertility awareness" and "holistic family planning."

I can't even describe it all. I'm trying to give screenshots of the most important things but there's so much.

The foreign policy is a nightmare. They plan to push fossil fuels onto the Global South and promote the development of fossil fuel industry in the "developing world."

It is aggressive and antagonistic towards other nations, strongly pro-military, proposing that we INCREASE (!!!!!) defense spending, improve public opinion of the military and military recruitment, and increase the power to fund new weapons technology.

Just read the Department of Defense section. It's about greatly increasing and strengthening the military-industrial complex, collaborating more closely with weapons manufacturers, removing regulatory barriers to arming our allies and to inventing new military weapons, and recruiting more people into the military. They include provisions to develop AI technology for surveillance. And of course, continuing to support Israel is in there.

Elsewhere it proposes interfering in foreign countries with creepy pro-USA propaganda campaigns, even establishing international educational programs where faculty have to pledge to promote USA interests.

There's a line in here about getting rid of PBS because SESAME STREET is LEFTIST for God's sake.

HOW are people claiming democrats have the same policies. I feel like i'm losing my mind.

OUT with “nobody will love you until you love yourself” IN with “everybody deserves to be loved + it’s harder to love yourself if you’ve always felt unloveable + you do also need to do the hard work of learning how to accept love from others so that you don’t keep pushing them away”
