Here’s your #IndigenousPeoplesDay reminder that #LandBack means, and has always meant, an actual return of land to Indigenous control for collective ownership.

Indigenous people are leading the way on climate change mitigation and adaptation because we know our way back to a way of life that wasn’t built on constant growth and consumption. #LandBack is good climate policy.

...like I said at the start, I'm glad this episode exists & hope it sways audiences. but it's not so much a great episode as it is an indictment against the rest of the media for dropping the ball on this & allowing hacks to publish "just asking questions" piece after piece...

The "gender critical" movement can best be described as an ongoing harassment campaign that, through inflated numbers with sockpuppets, coordinated dogpiles, and algorithm manipulation, give the impression of a far more widespread movement than their actual numbers.
Do gender-crits even exist in real life? I'm beginning to think it's just another tired old creepy pasta.

This is extremely troubling. Aroace comic creator Maia Kobabe (e/em/eir) is being sued by U.S. politicians. They claim that Gender Queer, eir graphic memoir about eir life as a non-binary, aromantic and asexual person, is obscene. bleedingcool.com/comics/oni-…

Anti-LGBT orgs have filed lawsuit in Virginia to ban LGBTQ+ books under obscenity laws from the 1950s. These laws are still on the books despite constitutional restrictions. Republicans are making a play at this court to define LGBTQ+ content as obscene and stop their sale.

New Hampshire is advancing a bill that would require teachers to out their transgender students even to the point of changing "gender identity and EXPRESSION." This would put thousands of trans students in jeopardy and would police their bodies and identities.
Breaking awfulness in #nhpolitics A thread. The New Hampshire House considered & voted on a "Parental Bill of Rights"--something we have been seeing across the country. Education advocates were opposed from the outset bc HB 1431 is administratively untenable ... (1/9)

It was very important to us when writing #DinosaurPrincesses that we made it clear anyone could be a Dinosaur Princess and a Dinosaur Princess could be any gender. A big CHEER to the @TransLangPrimer for being such a great resource -- check them out and support their Patreon!

Quite the shock tactic for fundraising: Michigan congressional candidate (state Sen. Tom Barrett) sends text messages that open with this language: "your child's gender reassignment surgery has been booked" michiganadvance.com/2022/04/…

when people talk about the rise of nazism in germany, you’ll often see this photograph in particular. while there were many book burnings, the history often erased is that this was magnus hirschfeld’s institute for sexual research, a pioneer of sex & gender studies.
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

Texas is now officially persecuting trans children and requiring teachers to do the same. If you’re charting the Republican-led march into white Christian corporate fascism, we are now just a couple of steps away from concentration camps.
