#TransRightsReadathon
“Digital Book Burnings in Trump's America:
Attacks on marginalised groups are likely an early indication of rising authoritarianism. A century ago, the Nazi party of Germany targeted transgender people & the scientists who were pioneers of sexual research, raiding Magnus Hirschfeld‘s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, one of the world‘s first centres dedicated to the study and care of queer and trans people. The Nazi Party ⬇️

Bookwomble raided the clinic, terrorised the workers, and burned thousands of books, papers and research materials in a public spectacle of hate that foreshadowed the grim horrors to come. Now, today, a modern version of this erasure is also underway. This time, the flames are in the form of a trash folder, as it is a digital erasure, and this horror is unfolding in the United States under the directorship of Donald Trump.“ (edited) 1w
Bookwomble Going on to describe Trump as “the Marmalade Mussolini“ gave me a laugh in a relatively grim #SocialistStandard article about Republican transphobia, and a call for socialist allyship for trans and other lgbtqia+ people ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🚩 (edited) 1w

Bookwomble @Jari-chan I know, right! 😄 1w
Bookwomble Interest piqued the "Marmalade Mussolini" tag, I found a serious comparison between Trump and El Duce in this 2017 article by professor of history, Mark Bickard: https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/the-scary-parallels-between-trump-and... 1w
TheBookHippie Cheeto Satan to me 🤣 and yes I‘ve screamed about this history since 2014. 😵‍💫 1w
Bookwomble From Prof. Bickard's article:
“The attacks on central institutions of American democracy as “enemies of the people” has a horrible and horribly dangerous historical background. Trump may (or may not) be too ignorant to know of that background, but his inner circle most certainly knows of it, and intends it in full.“

GingerAntics This is truly terrifying. What is more terrifying is the people okay with this, that just don‘t see the parallels. 1w
GingerAntics @CarolynM as a historian, I feel like I‘m shouting into the void sometimes, just trying to get people to wake up! I‘m just so tired. 1w
GingerAntics @Bookwomble that‘s the thing. It‘s 100% intentional. People saying stupid things like it‘s just coincidental or it just looks that way are just so entirely out of touch. 1w
Bookwomble @TheBookHippie I feel the name Cheeto Satan is too harsh - on Cheetos! 😄 1w
Bookwomble @GingerAntics It's hard to understand people's lack of recognition of what he is. It is tiring living through such times. I hope you get times where you can switch off and tune out for a while to test and recover ❤️‍🩹🫂 1w

Not much sleep over the weekend between a sick Pippin (just a tummy upset) and the time change while visiting my dad. Glad to be home, slept pretty well last night and working on getting caffeinated. You can google the postcard campaign for more info if you want to participate.

What‘s your mood today? #MondayMood

Librarybelle I hope Pippin is feeling better! 1mo
dabbe OMG! I love this! I mailed postcards for the election, and it felt good just to DO something to show my resistance. I just ordered 100 postcards, and I found a perfect photo of the #ldf shouting “You're fired!“ Thank you for this. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 P.S. hope Pippin is feeling better! 🖤🐾🖤 1mo

Dear Canada and Mexico (and while we're at it, the entire world),

We are so sorry that your neighbor's president and administration are having a narcissistic, idiotic, and completely chaotic breakdown.

Apologetically,
The empathetic Americans who did not vote for this #ldf.
#ranttime 🇨🇦❣️🇲🇽

Aims42 Yes! There are so many of us that did not want this and voted for the extremely intelligent woman and non-toxic man 🙌 1mo
Prairiegirl_reading As our Prime Minister said today, we aren‘t booing you. We are booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. It‘s going to hurt so many and some people don‘t even realise it. To those people I have to say, Just keeping watching Fox News, I‘m sure everything will be fine. 🙄 1mo

LiseWorks I actually know that most businesses don't agree with tariffs. But for years, Trump thinks he can go back to the way it was in the 50's when America had lots of manufacturing plants. That trading makes jobs go away. But doing this to his neighbors is wrong. I personally have stopped buying American products. (Sorry guys), and apologizing is the Canadian way. Trust me, trying to find hand cream that is not made on the U.S. was hard. Lol 1mo
Prairiegirl_reading @LiseWorks what part of Canada do you live in? I know some great hand cream made in Winnipeg. 1mo
LiseWorks @Prairiegirl_reading I live in the Ottawa Valley and I found some from Germany 🇩🇪 1mo
melissajayne @LiseWorks the 1950‘s was an anomaly in terms of the way things were; makes sense that Cheeto wants to go back to the way things were during his childhood. Who doesn‘t want to go back to the way things were when one was a kid? (edited) 1mo
melissajayne @Prairiegirl_reading everything will be fine until they are paying more for their gas, heating bill, groceries, etc. 1mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Well, he wants to “make America great again,“ so going back to the 50s is right up his alley. Oh, and put those women back in the kitchen, too, and keep their mouths shut. Yay for you not buying US products. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 1mo
dabbe @melissajayne Agree 💯. 1mo
Deblovestoread I would encourage all Canadians to not buy US products just as I am changing my shopping habits….looking at you Amazon. We need to hit them where it hurts and that‘s their wallet. @LiseWorks @Prairiegirl_reading @melissajayne And I‘m sorry the guy who is upending our life is screwing with yours, too. (edited) 1mo
Prairiegirl_reading @melissajayne oh for sure! I was being sarcastic and trying not to lose it, what I really wanted to type was not kind in any way. 1mo

TheLudicReader Most everyone I know has stopped buying American. I know one person who cancelled her vacation to Florida (and is out quite a lot of money, too). At family dinner last Saturday, the whole group of us spent the whole time talking about Trump/Musk and our own upcoming federal election. The world is just supremely shitty right now. My heart breaks for the USA I have always known and loved. 1mo

I spent most of my time as a #longtimefed more or less in the realm of soft power. It‘s another topic I can‘t possibly do justice to in 451 characters, except to say I know whereof I speak when it comes to this area.

Pulling direct aid from the developing world, especially in the cruel and abrupt way we did so, opens up a huge space for China to swoop in. But we “need Ukraine‘s minerals” to combat China.

Then we humiliate Zelenskyy in the WH.*

Susanita * I‘m sorry for putting this picture onto your feed. 1mo
Tamra It‘s shameful and short sighted. 1mo
dabbe @Susanita No need to be sorry at all. I value your opinion and am here to listen. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 I give long-distance hugs, too. 🤗 1mo

DogMomIrene I‘m so ashamed to be an American right now. And I‘m terrified that 🍑 is going to lead us right into WWIII, but with an eye on those TV ratings🙄🤬 1mo
Aims42 But yeah, women are too emotional to be president. Ugh. I hate it here. 😡 1mo
ReadingVampire I am a U.S. Veteran, and let me tell you—I don‘t recognize this country anymore. I also work for the federal government, helping Veterans, and the cuts they‘re trying to make are insane. Beyond gross. Today is just another disaster with Zelenskyy. 😡😡😡 1mo
AlaMich It was a set-up. You know trump has just been waiting for a chance to throw someone out of the WH and show what a real man looks like. 1mo
Susanita @dabbe 🤗 1mo
Susanita @AlaMich Yes. I‘ve seen that suggestion from Jay Kuo and others online. Meanwhile JD was sitting off to the side with an insipid grin on his face. 1mo
Susanita @dabbe @AlaMich @Aims42 @ReadingVampire @Tamra @BarbaraBB @DogMomIrene @Cuilin I was out this afternoon (not shopping!) and on my way home I crossed over a major highway. There were people on both sides of the overpass holding signs and Ukrainian flags. I waved heartily. 1mo
Aims42 @Susanita 🙌 Yay! I hope people were honking and laying on their horns too 💙🇺🇦💛 1mo
ncsufoxes Zelenskyy is the one that showed the strength. He remained calm in a room full of bullies. Petty Patty & Bertha the Bully are the ones that looked like fools. They‘ll of course spin it. It‘s just astounding that he has made it clear who he stands with & the GOP will fall in line. It‘s like an alternative universe right now. 1mo
ncsufoxes I should add no offense to anyone named Patty or Bertha. I just need to find alternative names besides swear words in our house. I feel like I want to vomit any time I use their actual names or hear their voices. 1mo
dabbe @Susanita #allthefeels 💙🇺🇦💛 1mo
Susanita @Aims42 from Bluesky (New York Times pitchbot): Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president. 1mo

#weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords @CBee

After perusing all of the Ad Hominem attacks by this country's #ldf last week, I just can't do his fallacies anymore--at least for now.

Something maybe more fun? How about some allusions!?! I love learning/relearning these and hope to bring a new/not new one to you each week. 🤩

CBee Whatever you want to post is good with me ♥️ 1mo

@CBee

Probably #ldf's fallacy that he is best at is the ad hominem attack. The background picture in the image above is every attack #ldf has said against a person or a group. A picture literally is worth a thousand+ words ... and is horrifying.
