As a reminder:

Twitter is a platform owned by a far right billionaire who actively controls the algorithm and censors discussions he does not like.

Taking twitter as some sort of representation of a public form is taking neo Nazi bait. The platform actively promotes far right posts to the top and depending on language used will demote other posts to the bottom

hence removing words concerning transgender people unless it helps with their erasure

A lot of leftists still on the platform have begun to accept right wing framing as the only way to discuss topics and blind to how it's affected them.


Don't be a Twitter brain for God sakes.

Don't tell me you're dating an AI unless it's HIM 😤😤😤

Good read about the payment processor/Steam event. Alarming stuff.

And all the more reason to act on this, if you haven't already.

For those of you who haven't caught on yet about why defending adult content is a big ideal (other than, you know, letting people do what they want with their time and media), I encourage you to remember this:

The push toward removing adult content is concurrent with the push toward classifying queer content as adult.

This is a deliberate political strategy.

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy.

No political party is going to protect us. We must build the capacity to defend ourselves through grassroots initiatives or watch powerlessly as his mercenaries come for our neighbors one after another until they finally come for us.

Gather the people you trust and discuss what kinds of action you are prepared to take together. The fascists are not in a position to triumph over us unless we remain passive. Get organized. 🏴

Legitimately had a nightmare last night that Wikipedia was sold to a right wing billionaire and that it lost all of its credibility in a matter of days

Charlie Kirk was shot

Looks bad too. They definitely hit a major artery with the amount of blood
