Yeah, I knew about Hirschfeld and how his institute was attacked, etc. And knew about how queer people were scapegoated by the Reich. Just had not heard the particular bit abt how Jews were somehow orchestrating people being trans. Seems like an impressive wizardly power.
Although this conspiracy theory is a new one for me, I have to say I'd not be unhappy if by some miracle it were true. (from a non-Jewish trans guy w/many Jewish family & Friends)
I am curious to know how Jews have this impressive power to make people be trans!
just because america won gold in hockey over canada doesnโt mean we need the weather to come with it too
I'm confused about where the Tesla comes in. Maybe I missed something?
Fantastic๐งต! Just what this gringo needed. Makes me love Bad Bunny's halftime performance even more. And you know that's the ONLY part of the Superbowl I watched.
That's really sweet, but what if it's in your car and the doors are frozen closed?
To be specific, they're outside the Minneapolis Marriott City Center where many agents have been staying. The singers are a group called Singing Resistance โ their numbers have been growing dramatically, despite having just organized within the last month. www.instagram.com/singingresis...
Pretty fucking awesome.
Please speak up and condemn this violation of human rights! @mcclellan.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
What I need Congress to understand is that like Trump, much of what ICE does in full view of the cameras is already illegal.
We donโt need more documentation of the crimes. We need consequences for the crimes.
Until you have a plan for that, I donโt want to hear about cameras and training.
@juliaserano.bsky.social provides an excellent rebuttal to the idea that Dems need to triangulate against trans people in order to win moderate votes. (Calling Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom). Lots of receipts for her argument.
The fed admin is turning plowshares into swords (so they can terrorize us & our neighbors) then pretending not to notice when people can't afford food. But in Hanover and around the country, people are saying it's too much. Thank you to everyone who organized & showed up to make this step happen
โPssh, Iโm from up north! I can drive in snow! Iโll be fine!โ
A lot of us who drive can drive fine in snow. The problem is itโs 20 degrees and dropping, which means itโs going to freeze all sorts of fast, and you donโt want your tires to find that out the hard way.
This is a major storm. Be smart.
Jorts the cat: always on the right side if history!
this reminds me of the way iโve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you arenโt allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
Because brave Minnesotans are staying in the streets in subzero temps and filming everything, we know this is happening. Of course it's not the first time our govt has murdered people in the streets. But it's outrageous every time, we have video, & the deportation machine is fundamentally wrong (1/2
Fantastic๐งต uplifting the people of Minneapolis today standing up to tyranny in spite of bitter cold. Thanks for this, @kvetch.gay
Amazing! Way to go Minneapolis!
I'm so excited about the opportunity for #VaLeg & #VaGov to expand democracy in the workplace this year through broader collective bargaining rights. Our families and communities deserve the high road. Thanks to @ssurovell.bsky.social & @kathykltran.bsky.social for your leadership! #OrganizeTheSouth
Some advice from someone who grew up in Baltimore where this happens more: If this pans out as a snow-then-sleet/ice storm, I suggest not shoveling until after the sleet/ice is finished. A layer of snow under the ice makes ice removal easier.
And, yes, prepare for an extended power outage.
