Just a trans guy minding my own business. I sometimes post/reblog about things - like current events, politics, threats to trans rights, etc - that may be upsetting/triggering; if that would bother you please do NOT follow me. I am not for the highly sensitive nor for children.
as you may know, israel has begun its ground operation in rafah. they dropped leaflets last night ordering people to evacuate, and bombing in east rafah has already begun.
The border is about to become unreachable.
Rafah is trapped.
We have literal hours until no-one, all the GoFundMe's you've scrolled past, all the people desperately begging on TikTok, will be able to escape.
Give now. Give whatever you can.
I am fundraising for the Odeh family, which is only 3k away from meeting its goal.
The Gaza municipality has increased their goal in order to fix their water system and the sewer system which is currently contaminating the sea and spreading disease. They've raised $61,000 so far out of the new goal of 1 million. Pleade show your support by boosting, donate if you can.
💣 Israeli warplanes are heavily bombing a starving and defenseless population RIGHT NOW of mostly children, and Western leaders are cheering it on.
🩸Israel’s so-called #Rafah evacuation order is a declaration to attack the 600K children & their families, to attack remaining infrastructure sustaining life & any possibility of a future.
🚨Racist-colonial logic is what makes this a “policy debate” instead of a siren warning of yet more genocidal massacres.
⚠️ The “evacuation” of Rafah is illegal. There are no “humanitarian” or “safe zones.” Civilians are being forcibly displaced to areas totally unsuitable to human habitation. This is a crime against humanity.
Inside the Christian TV show rallying Trump superfans with apocalyptic warnings
This quote would be hilarious, if it weren't also terrifying: “This is the only news show where you hear what Jesus thinks,”
It's scary that they seriously believe Jesus is giving news commentary via proxy...If they manage to get the upper hand politically, this is not a group that has any willingness towards (or even concept of) working across party lines, or governing for everyone - they see it as their way, or straight to hell. No discussion, no compromise.
If you don't want to live in an absolutist theocracy with no personal freedom around your healthcare, sexual/romantic, and reproductive decisions, then it's absolutely critical to get organized and vote against every candidate who aligns with/is supported by this element.
Israeli strikes on Rafah kill 22, mostly children, as US advances aid package
The House of Representatives approved a $26 billion aid package on Saturday.

I'm appalled & sickened that the US government just voted to send more military aid to Netanyahu's genocidal regime...The Israeli people need to rise up & depose him, he's a maniac & should not be in power; bless those who are protesting against Netanyahu & his crazy genocidal war.
xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles
Trump advocate calls surrogacy ‘evil’ and says anyone involved ‘should be imprisoned for life’ https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/04/06/trump-advocate-calls-surrogacy-evil-project-2025/
In May 2023, the Heritage Foundation’s official X/Twitter account tweeted: “Conservatives have to lead the way in restoring sex to its true purpose, & for…ending recreational sex & senseless use of birth control pills.”
GOP AGs threaten Maine over protections for trans care
Maine is trying to protect doctors in Maine - and these crazy republican attorneys general from other states have the nerve to say that interferes with their states self-governing? Maine protecting providers within Maine IS self-government - this interstate republican attempt to overreach into Maine's laws is the actual interfering with another state's self-governance. These repubs are taking their habit of every accusation being a confessing to ridiculous extents...
