https://variety.com/2026/tv/features/lilly-wachowski-jk-rowling-harry-potter-trans-the-matrix-1236858104/ She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support “Harry Potter,” you’re supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It’s simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication. #lillyWachowski #jkrowling #transphobia #uspol #ukpol #maga #fascism #theMatrix #harryPotter #bigotry #homophobia #hate #elonMusk #hbo

Linux is Best: If you would like to spread misinformation we are happy to address your wilful misrepresentations. "They admit Hazel is lying." We do not; we said that we do not see evidence of their claims. We have sufficent evidence that you are a bigot engaged in harassment. We are aware of Hazel's problematic past, which is why we a) made our determination free of her reports and b) chose to comment. Our comments in no way suggest that you're not engaged in harassment and bigotry. We stand by that assessment. "They still insist that you block me." We insist nothing. We provide the evidence that you're a bigot engaged in systematic harassment, evidence we used to make an internal determination. We shared our assessments with the fedi so they can choose for themselves. "Their scam group." We are not affiliated with Gaza Verified, nor do we believe it a scam group. -- Other notes: "I have like 5 accounts" You may have five active accounts but you have had many more. At least 16 accounts federated with our instance use your signature "Linux Is Best" tag. We also suspect that your "general nonsense" is you getting banned. As in, ban evasion. Which, we'd note, is also a violation of our rules. -- You may continue to misrepresent our assessment, but the fact remains that you're a bigot who is targeting a vulnerable population without evidence.

"Uncompromising" the BBC says, "He was one of us" the Right goes.... #RodLiddle #DomesticAbuse #Bigotry #Misogyny

Is this Satire or an actual human being? "We've all had our ups and downs, we've all beaten up our pregnant girlfriends and publically lusted after 14 year olds" The Right loves domestic abusers, don't they? They keep telling on themselves and then calling us meanies for pointing it out. "look over there, an Immigrant" they'll shriek in distraction #RodLiddle #DomesticAbuse #Bigotry #Misogyny #Politics

https://theneedledrop.com/opinion/the-kanye-fallout/ individuals like Matt Walsh, as well as Libs of TikTok apparently use Shopify to do business and their entire brands are built off of just hating and demonizing and monetizing bigotry against the LGBTQ community. As it also turns out, the COO of the company is, in fact, the director of a Canadian far-right media outlet, too. So I guess this whole selling fascist merch on your platform is just par for the course and totally fine on Shopify, save for any fraud that might go on because apparently there's some actual ideological alignment there. Don't use Shopify. #Shopify #fascism #nazi #nazis #bigotry #homophobia #transphobia #altright #MattWalsh #libsoftiktok #hate #kkk

Preaching love to people trying to kill us will not discourage them from trying again. What might, is better handling the migration stream of young radicalised muslim men that keep committing these attacks. How the west keeps being open to those that reject their values, like equal rights for women and LGBTQ+ people and wishes to enforce sharia law, is a paradox of tolerance. This will keep happening until we can adequately integrate these individuals, or expel/ban the ones refusing to do so. If we manage that, then maybe the women and children, the actual migrants and refugees who come in search of a better life… they won’t have to continue facing blame for horrible actions committed by a few radicalised men. #lgbtq #pride #bigotry #trans #berlin

@elgringomexicano@mastodon.social Agreed! Even if I personally lack interest in sports, the disparagement of athletes is wholly unjustified. There are certainly problematic aspects with lots of sports culture, but the same can be said for any culture. How many scholars have we seen demonizing trans people lately? Too many to count! Dorian Abbot, John Armstrong, Peter Boghossian, Maarten Boudry, Alex Byrne, Nicholas Christakis, Roger Cohen, Jerry Coyne, Richard Dawkins, Niall Ferguson, Janice Fiamengo, Solveig Gold, Moti Gorin, Karleen Gribble, Carole Hooven, Geoff Horsman, Joshua Katz, Sergiu Klainerman, Lawrence M. Krauss, Anna Krylov, Luana Maroja, Christian Ott, Bruce Pardy, Jordan Peterson, Steven Pinker, Richard Redding, Arthur Rousseau, Gad Saad, Sally Satel, Lauren Schwartz, Alan Sokal, Allesandro Strumia, Judith Suissa, Alice Sullivan, Jay Tanzman, Abigail Thompson, Amy Wax, Elizabeth Weiss & Frances Widdowson all contributed to a single book, published on July 29, 2025, called "The War on Science" promoting anti-queer ideas like binary gender or intersex denial & defending various racists against "cancel culture" & "political correctness". That is just one book. Countless more, highly respected scholars have espoused anti-trans views, such as Norman Finklestein. I lost a lot of respect for Finklestein, who I previously respected very deeply, after reading his horrible blog post called "Transgender Cult", published on June 14, 2023 at https://www.normanfinkelstein.com/transgender-cult/ Prejudice is no more "treating X like sports teams" than "treating X like geopolitical blocs" or "treating X like political parties." Prejudice is a fundamental human tendency. Prejudice co-exists with & is balanced out by the countertendency that is allophilia, the love of groups one is not a member of. Varying levels of prejudice & allophilia exist between individuals & cultures. Humans have many tendencies & countertendencies. We have the tendency to sadism & to sympathy, to envy & symhedonia, to love & hate, to friendship & enemyship, to struggle for existence & mutual aid, to domination & mutuality. It was especially common during the Cold War, post 9/11 wars & such for people to treat geopolitics with great prejudice, but in recent years the eyes of the people have been being opened as warcrimes are increasingly being livestreamed on social media, making support for one's own country often untenable except for the most unsympathetic people. The frequency of prejudice against other teams, women & so on within sports culture is certainly a problem, but prejudice also exists within other cultures. In scholar culture, we often see prejudice against people without degrees, against women, against racial minorities, against queers, against heterodoxers & very especially against heterodox queer racial minority women without degrees. Double-blind peer review is intended to prevent this, but only applies to journals & is a work around for, rather than an abolition of the prejudice of the culture. "Sports are only for dumb jocks" is just as much a manifestation of prejudice as "we are the best team even though we keep losing" or "women are bad at everything." I would like to confess that I used to engage in the prejudice against athletes myself when I was less wise, & I regret this wholeheartedly. It has been more than a third of my life since then & I am now a better person. No one is wrong forever, even if bigots are unwilling to admit it. We all either self-correct or we die within no more than 122 years. Many people believe prejudice is less harmful if does not result in systemic bias. These people would say that it is okay to be prejudiced against athletes but not black people, because prejudice against the former does not result in systemic bias unlike the prejudice against the latter. I answer that: the fact that harms are small enough not to result in systemic bias does not make a prejudice any less harmful at an individual level, only at a systemic level. Systemic bias comes from a large number of individual behaviors, especially from powerful individuals. A single nerd supremacist of equal power, whose volition differs only in target of prejudice rather than in willingness to act on prejudice in a given way, does not do more harm than a single white supremacist. Given white supremacists are more influential as a group, they cause more harm as a group, but not necessarily as individuals. When they do cause more harm as individuals, this is due to either 1) greater power, such as leading a country, megacorporation or police force or 2) more will to harm, such as a willingness to commit a hate crime. Please check out @mxchara@seattle.pink if you haven't already seen them, they post great things & are one of the best writers I have ever seen, on par in the beauty of their prose with Friedrich Nietzsche, which I was certainly not expecting from a mastodon account. I love you comrades all & have a nice day! 😻 #sports #politics #bigotry #racism #transphobia #transrights #philosophy #sociology #humanities #waronscience

Thomson Reuters is most well known for running the Reuters news agency, but the company is also a massive data broker and sells access to that data to companies and governments. Its data product, called CLEAR, promises to “Accelerate investigations confidently through a vast collection of public and proprietary records" #votersfraud #immigrationsfraud #presidentspriorities #bigotry #surveillance

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to pay data broker giant Thomson Reuters $125 million for access to its databases of personal data — which includes peoples’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, ethnicity, social media posts, and geolocation information — to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigate what it describes as “voters fraud” and immigration fraud, according to procurement documents reviewed by 404 Media. The document says Thomson Reuters is able to let ICE continuously monitor millions of people and entities of interest. The news comes after Trump held a conspiracy-laden and unhinged press conference about election security on Thursday, setting the stage for potentially undermining the legitimacy of the upcoming midterm elections. It also follows ICE fatally shooting 2 people in a week.  “Due to ICE’s re-prioritized mission, there is need for this data to be readily accessible to support the presidential mandate of the identification of Voters Fraud, Immigration Fraud and National Security,” the procurement document reads. “This data specifically validates and verifies school, benefit, immigration and other eligibility requirements.” #votersfraud #immigrationsfraud #presidentspriorities #bigotry@thompsonreuters #surveillance

Look at how many times the heritage foundation ghouls use the word "natural" or "inherent" when describing some stuff about women: https://www.transiticsnews.com/p/after-pushing-anti-trans-laws-to Ideas about what's "natural" (vs "cultural") are central to a lot of messed up ideologies. The idea that something is "natural" is used as a cudgel to keep people in line: "girls shouldn't play sports, it's not natural" or "it's only natural for people to want to marry within their race", or "it's unnatural to be gay", etc etc etc. This is why disciplines like cultural anthropology are necessary. The research that comes out of these fields helps answer the question "is x *really* natural, or does it vary by culture?" Sometimes I wonder: if I didn't receive so many messages growing up about such and such thing being natural or inevitable, would I have been as interested in studying cultural anthropology in college, and would I instead have gone for a more practical major? Who can say. As things happened, I absolutely *needed* to learn whether I really was meant to be a dumb, weak babymaker.....or whether it's inevitable for a certain number of people in a society to go hungry or be without a home (the answer is "no" and "no"). I defer to actual cultural anthropologists on this, but if someone asked me "ok, so what actually *is* natural about humans? (Meaning: occurs in all or nearly all cultures)", I think there's very little. I think almost all (if not all-all societies) have humans living in groups ("social species"), using tools (just like many other non-human animals), using language, and telling stories. That's about it. Pretty much everything else varies. If there's an obvious one I've missed, please let me know. So don't let bigots bully you by telling you this or that is "natural"! Nearly everything about how humans are varies by culture, and anyway, where is the experiment that involves culture-less humans (which might show us what "natural" humans are like)? And those instances of"wild" children don't count, because humans raised alone do *not* reflect any kind of "natural" conditions (because we evolved growing up in groups). #CulturalAnthropology #bigotry #feminism #trans

The United States is losing its war against Iran. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is winning his war against women: "Opportunities Narrow for Women as Hegseth Blocks More Promotions.

"How obviously #racist do we have to be?" This is a #townHall meeting in #Missouri with #GOP representative #MarkAlford.

What she doesn't understand is that the unaccountable #bigotry and malice she enabled doesn't care what she thinks. That's what #MAGA represents: "I got mine, fuck you." The "fuck you" applies to her too You're looking at a #conJob victim waking up to the fact she was conned #racism

@jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de

i would say that the rich use the bigots to get in power and stay in power, and the bigots use the rich to abuse minorities

the transaction is:

1. i, the #bigot, don't mind being robbed, as long as you abuse minorities

2. i, the #plutocrat, don't mind abusing minorities, as long as i keep my rent seeking parasite existence

the plutocrat-bigot political axis is real

not all of them, you're right about that. but enough of them
