I think it's really important to remember that even those who hate you are people. Even those who oppress you, are people. Even those who abuse, harm and murder us, are people. And as people, they are responsible for their actions. They don't get the luxury of being dehumanized just because they dehumanize us. They must be held accountable, as people.
if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.
And by the way it doesn’t matter if you claim your community is “pro” something if the main actual behavior of the group is hating the thing labeled as the enemy of the thing you are “in support” of.
As an example, a lot of groups claim to be “pro-women”, when in reality they are actually anti-trans. Their goal is not to uplift women, it’s to harass and criminalize trans people.
So inspect the groups you’re in. Ignore the name of the movement. What are the people in your group actually DOING?
when you believe nuance is necessary but you don't SAY nuance because the term 'nuance' has become a buzzword and you hate buzzwords...
I think half of all trans infighting can be solved by acknowledging that being 'validity' doesn't change your sociopolitical class... and that gender sociopolitical classes were NEVER binary to begin with.
Me if you even care
I don't understand teenagers anymore what is a "6 7" and why do they nominalize words to the point where everything they say sounds mildly offensive
I love my hubby however he should kiss me I'm deprived
I don't know what happened but everyone forgot that chauvinism was bad in the last 5 years and it's corroded discourse beyond repair, no YOUR group's particular subalternity isn't a justification for dismissing other's perspectives.

Love seeing something from TikTok and going “girlie that is literally what led to the downfall of the Papal States”
Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851
Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which she’s not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, it’s interpreted by the church as valid later
Kid survives
1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic can’t be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family
Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair
This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyone’s shiting on him for doing this, including allies
Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence
Bologna falls the next year, 1859
Kingdom of Italy forms 1861
By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more
(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)
(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if he’d have lived he would’ve been persecuted as a Jew)
Wikipedia confirms
Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, “uhhh, actually they’re catholic now, no take backs!”
The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that “The Jews are not grateful”
What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.
Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.
Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XII’s silence about the Nazi deportation of Rome’s Jews in 1943 and the Vatic
I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but it’s not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane “schools”. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but they’ve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.
Idk what my point is here, just that there’s such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably won’t change on its own.
I'm so bored of people pretending that using a stereotype is only bigoted if it's explicitly applied to all members of a marginalized group. "I didn't say all Jews are greedy whiny emasculated parasites who control the government with their money, I just said Zionists are." Guys.
There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.
Fascists get months and these guys get decades....just incredible how far the USA has fallen.
From PM Press on Instagram:
Activists who didn't plan the protest and left when asked still received 50-year terms.
The crackdown on anti-ICE activists in Texas reflects a pattern of intensifying repression all around the country.
Just so we're connecting our dots together, Reed O'Connor is "that Rhode Island hospital should give me all its trans kids records and I pinky swear I won't just give them to the DOJ and I am commanding all the other judges that they don't have jurisdiction, only I do, despite the fact that none of what's happening is actually in my district," among a million other shitty things.
He is a horrible fucking human being and a terrible fucking judge.
breaking news: famous woobie tumblr sexyman actually turns out to be a trans woman. excitement and outrage follow, with one interviewee, who describes herself as an author of "female-gaze literature" says, "I can't believe he was a chick this entire time, what's intriguing about that??"
Turkey’s justice ministry is drafting legislation that would imprison people for publicly praising LGBT identity, criminalize same-sex engag
EXTRA INFO:
The Bill hasn't passed yet; however it is very likely. Turkey just shut down the social media accounts of LGBT+ organizations, and quietly banned/"made not possible to see" multiple dating apps for LGBT people such as Taimi. These are small steps leading up to this. Just less than a year ago the distribution of Estrogen was made ten times harder and hormone replacement therapy laws upped the transitioning age from 18 to 21. Please speak for us.
