it's always been #bigots everywhere in large numbers
#plutocrat #socialMedia amplifies it, gooses it, celebrates it
one of the avenues we can fight back: get a new social media like #Mastodon to replace corporate centralized cesspits of trolls and #hate (i know, a big ask. one can dream)
to be clear: the root problem is #bigotry, not #technology
but bigotry is a much larger problem
so win the social media battle
and use that to further the much larger war on bigotry
These #Words Are Disappearing in the New #Trump Administration
As Trump seeks to purge the federal government of “woke” initiatives, agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents.

Simply because I am a non-binary Bishop and my daughter is transgender. They threatened to shoot up my “queer church” and to rape my “son” in front of me. They sent my wife sexually explicit messages and targeted friends and family as well. They are not the saviors of our country. They are just another branch of #hate and #bigotry. I tried to reach out to them about these individuals and they refused to even acknowledge my attempts. They support #transphobia and #violence.
#Trump signed a new #ExecutiveOrder instructing admin ofcls to alter a #StudentLoanForgiveness program for #PublicServants to exclude nonprofit groups that engage in activities that have what he erroneously called a “substantial illegal purpose.” His order targets groups supporting undocumented #immigrants, #diversity initiatives or #gender-affirming care for children, among others.

Fuck Gavin Newsom.
What the hell was he doing on a Charlie Kirk podcast anyway?
EDIT: This was Gavin’s podcast. He invited Charlie Kirk on his own podcast on the debut episode. That’s actually a lot worse.
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom said it’s “deeply unfair” for transgender girls and women to compete in female sports”
The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.
“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.
#Espaillat has been a US citizen for >40 years & is the first formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in #Congress. When his family first immigrated to the US from the #DominicanRepublic roughly 60 years ago, they briefly overstayed their tourist visa but obtained green cards within the year, acc/to HuffPost. [that’s the extent of his former 50 years ago “undocumented” status]

#Republicans Hurl Racist Insult at Democratic #Hispanic Caucus Chair
The #GOP isn’t even pretending not to be #racist now.
The National Republican Congressional Committee published an atrocious social media post calling Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano #Espaillat an “illegal immigrant,” after the NY Democrat gave a Spanish-language rebuttal to #Trump’s address to #Congress.
"The 'Target Fast' coincides with Lent... Bryant and other Black faith leaders have voiced their frustration with Target, they said, for reneging on a $2 billion promise to invest in Black-owned companies by the end of 2025. "
Target’s decision to scrap its DEI initiatives came after Trump issued executive orders cracking down on such efforts just 48 hours into his second term in office.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who calls himself a Christian, was one of the nodding, smiling bobbleheads to be seen in the background of Trump's Congressional speech.

MAGA Realtor Gets INSTANT KARMA After Leaving HATEFUL Message
“The advances made during the #CivilRights movement are being pushed backwards with the cancellation of #DEI,” Bryant said. “This generation owes it to the previous generation to fight to try to make America great, which is only happening through #diversity.”

Okay, now #trump is claiming to be tackling #toxic #chemical exposure & heralding #RFKJr as the #health secy. This will be very difficult for me to watch. #Liar.
Holy shit, he’s claiming a kid received #transition #medical procedures at school during the school day. Literally impossible.
He says #transgender care is mutilation.
"#Musk's #DOGE fires federal tech team that built free #tax-filing site"
#MAGA parasocially identifies with #plutocracy robbing them. Rich MAGA "doesn't pay #taxes." Poor MAGA hates taxes
So they think this is for them! "This hurts black people" and so they like it
The trick is mind-numbingly simple:
Be a stupid *poor* cruel ghoul
Adore *rich* cruel ghouls
Who rob them, see them as cattle to abuse
And they never. fucking. see. it.

#Bigotry Well, folks, here is your chance to pitch in and fight against the anti-LGBTQIA+ forces in this fascist administration. Let’s flood the DOE with fake “snitch reports“. They include a link that allows you to attach an image, so get creative! If you have an email at proton.me, you can insert privatized email addresses that are untraceable.
Either the global fascist takeover is ready to move to the next stage, or #russia is ripe to implode and #trump s criminal gang tries his best to avert the damage. Either way, it's gonna get bumpy for everyone. We've tolerated the callous #bigotry for too long. If there's any decency left in us, now's the time to stand up, against any and every injustice.
