The #US government now does #bisexual #erasure. Lying about #trans people wasn’t enough, apparently.

The worst fear of every queerphobe is when cis hetero people start to feel empathy and solidarity with the #LGBTQ+ instead of hatred. That’s why they want to bury the truth. Because if the truth is out, the anti-LGBTQ+ #propaganda might stop working.

This is small, but feels right.

I’ve been trying to use “enslaved” instead of “slave.” For example “enslaved people in America” or “enslaved labor.” I noticed many Black folks making this subtle change so I followed their cue.

I believe it matters because “slave” names someone by definition, whereby “enslaved” names their situation.

Would you rather be noted as a slave or a person who was enslaved?

(I’m writing a chapter in my book about this.)

ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Power Half-Hour for Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.Now into the second year of genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and outrage. There are no words to describe the devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over 60,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 20,000 children. We know these numbers are not accurate — thousands more are being found under the rubble and so many more will perish due to lack of medicine and medical treatment, food, water, and shelter. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both declared that Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed against the Palestinian people. And yet the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. Israel broke the fragile ceasefire agreement reached in January 2025 and has made clear its intention of ethnically cleansing Palestinians. Three months of a total blockade of everything necessary for life has brought Palestinians in Gaza to the brink of famine, already causing the deliberate death by starvation of many. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and B'Tselem have declared that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. More and more people are questioning their governments' support for Israel's genocide because of the pressure being exerted by our movements, and Israel is becoming increasingly isolated as a result. We continue to come together as a political community to take action to end the genocide for as long as it takes. We will continue Monday through Thursday. Join us as we take collective action to demand an arms embargo on Israel, an immediate end to the genocide, a lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians. All are welcome. All are needed. ASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning provided daily

I am not an asshole.

I am a person that sees.

I see the #tyranny.

I see the #oppression.

I see the #sadness.

I see the #racism.

I see the #misogyny.

I see the #heterosexism.

I see it all.

Maybe I’m just an observer, but I’m still a romantic jackass full of hope that at least here, in the #fediverse, on #mastodon….

You all are listening. And your followers are listening. This is the actualization of #grassroots.

Two Minnesota state lawmakers were shot in apparent "targeted" incidents on Saturday that left them in grave condition, officials said, and a manhunt is now underway for the gunman.

A source familiar with the matter tells ABC News that the victims are state Sen. John Hoffman and state Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Both were shot at their homes and authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement, the source said.
