I think the T should be separated from the LGB because why should we, the trans community, be linked to those FREAKS. 

Especially bisexuals. Pick a fucking side.

Looking for that solidarity now that there's another genocide spinning up

Where y'all at?

People been yelling that this is a genocide for years.

Other folks would rather blame us for losing an election.

Best way to get support is ostracizing your own supporters for not doing enough. 

Can PlanetSmasher somehow make a post in a thread that's obviously bad news for trans people allllllll about himself?

You betcha!

I was in the car driving in a terrible rainstorm when I got this notification and I seriously almost drove it into a fucking pole. This administration is just day-in-day-out nightmares. With how bad the past three weeks have already been, I'm really feeling like if my cat had died back in December I wouldn't even have made it through the first week of this hell.

WTF does your cat dying have to do with the government removing the T from the LGB??? 

PlaSma's ego, and ability to make every thread about himself with some shitty anecdote, is off the scale. Truly an oddball.

Also...

"I got a notification about this while driving in a terrible rainstorm and nearly drove my car into a pole" 

Yeah, right. Dude's entire life is one big fairy tale

Frankly, the only people who should be sexually attracted to MEN are MEN. It's gross for women to be attracted to MEN, yuck. Disgusting hetereo shit.

[Uncle]

I have yet to see anyone polycule who was actually hot. Like there's hot swingers at best

I tried to post a tiktok a while ago but it wouldn't work for some reason. A guy asked why poly people always looked like "that", and pointed out that despite being vague you know exactly what he means. It was stitched by a woman (they/them?) who looked exactly like "that", asking what he meant. It was art.

found it, I'm sure

[benji]

Not a single person called out PlanetSmasher for reading his phone while driving during a terrible rainstorm yet. One person did hope he would hang in there.

Here's the sane responses to a website about traveling overseas being changed to remove some letters:

Trans people really need to prepare for the worst. I'm so fucking afraid of what's to come.

Cool, cool, cool.

If we don't exist, it's not a hate crime or genocide to kill us. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Surprised they even left those three. Fucking fascists.

and then LG

and then L

and then nothing

They'll be coming for the Ls, Gs, and Bs next, if they don't stand with the Ts.

Soon there won't be an LGB. This is just the start of project 2025.

Reading that paragraph is wild.

"LGB travelers can face special challenges abroad."

Motherfucker, LGBT people face challenges DOMESTICALLY!

I'm shocked they even kept LGB. Maybe they plan to take off one letter per year.

it'll be replaced with "christians" in not too long, I imagine

That's the goal. They will never be satisfied.

That's the goal, yeah.

They're just seeing what they can get away with.

The GOP has been getting a decent amount of young gay men on their side and want to continue to get those votes I imagine. And they get those votes by promoting "LGB without the T"

Honestly disgusting

Fuck every single person who enabled this.

Nobody should be under any illusion that you are safe. It is literally the oldest trick in the book to do these genocides like this. They will come for you next if you allow it. We have to win this fight.

This admin issuing travel warnings to other countries with no irony about how horrifically hostile this one is.

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't delete the page in its entirety.

I'm not, they are trying to divide the opposition.

We can't be allowed to forget what is happening here. What they do when in power and emboldened.

I wonder what happens first, me getting deported or me getting killed.

This is depressing and exactly what we knew would happen, but it is also weirdly hilarious that for once bisexuals exist. (I know that won't last long and the ultimate goal it to say there is no such thing as gay people period)

The United States government is actively ramping up a genocide upon trans people. People need to take the kid gloves off talking about this shit; it is their clear, unarguable goal here.

Absolutely. There was never any doubt.

People will need to do their best to protect their loved ones, and protect those who also don't have anybody at all.

Surpised they kept anything queer related at all.

This is step 1.

Yeah, with everything happening I'm shocked they left that part up at all.

Divide and conquer. It's only a matter of time once they've finished destroying what's left of trans rights in this country.

The pettiness. Nobody says "LGB", everyone who reads this will autocomplete the T

They're trying to divide us. I'm not looking forward to seeing who in these 4 years takes the bait and pulls up the ladder

Trans people have always existed.
Trans people will always exist.
You'll have to kill me.

Brazen erasure. Textbook fascism.
I am beyond appalled at seeing this unfold. To all my trans, enby and queer friends in the US - please stay vigilant, stay safe, and RESIST where you can.

I was in the car driving in a terrible rainstorm when I got this notification and I seriously almost drove it into a fucking pole. This administration is just day-in-day-out nightmares. With how bad the past three weeks have already been, I'm really feeling like if my cat had died back in December I wouldn't even have made it through the first week of this hell.

Please hang in there - don't give these vicious fucks any satisfaction.

I thought I got over it but seeing all the predictable shit happen in real time has me heated all over again that a not insignificant amount couldn't do their ONE job. Their ONE simple job: to fucking vote. But apparently that's like asking to move a mountain.

They are, quite literally, trying to make the "LGB" log cabin republicans the face of The Homosexual

This isn't just an assault on trans persons, but the entire LGBTQ+ community.

If you've never paid much attention to the "log cabin" clique - and to be fair, they sound like a joke, so why would you - they're not just "fuck you got mines" or trans exclusionary. Their motto is even "no flags". They essentially deny the validity of the entire history of the LGBT movement and culture. Framing it as a corrosive extremist movement / cult.

You don't need to look far to see that if you're from the UK. The ghouls at the "LGB Alliance" or whatever the fuck they call it has been on this hateful tirade for a while, bolstered by the terf witch herself JK. Now the Trump Admin are trying to speedrun that shit here, and I am not ready to see fucking JK get a award from Trump or something for this bullshit. You know those two bastards are planning a collab at some point within the next year or so.

No doubt they will all be crowing about this some more tomorrow. They already praised Trump for the other EOs, with JK going out her way to blame leftists for this happening at all.

Literally erasing trans people across all avenues. From healthcare and social transition to mentions and indications we exist.

When the major companies like Meta started stripping protections against hate speech I saw people refer to it as performative cruelty and now that seems to apply to what this admin is trying to enact in government.
They also seem to serve in opposition to a purity test, triggering a sense of disgust in any one with a moral backbone until the only options are comply or be fired for defiance and replaced with a loyalist. This is so alarming in what direction it is heading at such speed.

Awful in any number of ways, but by separating the T out of the LGBT they are also trying to divide & conquer the LGBTQIA+ community; those of us in the LGB we absolutely must stay united and supportive of those they are trying to systemically target and remove. Repulsive behavior, the brazenness in their efforts under this administration in their war against us will never be forgotten. Because we are not going ANYWHERE.

I sincerely hope that minorities, women and LGBTQIA+ groups mobilize for local, state and general elections in 2028. I feel there's going to be a massive shift against this administration once their reign of terror on marginalize groups is coming to an end. That is, of course, if they don't strip those groups of their voting rights, which I'm sure Trump has in the back of his pocket before his term ends.

I just can't believe what levels of anger these pieces of scum can provoke out of me. I shouldn't even be capable of the kind of hatred this stuff makes me feel, and I don't want to feel it either. All the light seems to be draining out of the world.

Still can't ever understand how you could hate a group of people for just existing.

Just a special kind of malice.

Honestly surprised they even left those letters

It's part of the game they're playing. It started during the Trump campaign when they pressured the GOP to remove language attacking same sex marriage from their platform. They're pandering to the LGB and log cabin gays, to turn them against trans people. "See, we love the gays now! As long as you saw off a couple of letters!"

This. I work somewhere that receives federal funding. I'm fully expecting most "allies" to throw us under the bus because we're such a small percentage of the US population. They'll choose business over civil rights. And most of them won't know that no one is immune from fascist purity tests. They come for everyone, eventually.

Honestly, I'd rather they give up the pretense and got rid of the whole thing. They're not fooling anyone with this fucking horseshit.

don't have any trans friends, but THIS IS FUCKED UP

Looking for that solidarity now that there's another genocide spinning up

Where y'all at?

Same place the cishets can always be found. Silent and minding their own business.

I'm surprised they didn't change it to GBL. Honestly, I'd rather they give up the pretense and got rid of the whole thing. They're not fooling anyone with this fucking horseshit.

Lesbians will be next. Women who aren't suitable for breeding stock have no reason to exist.

I'm sorry everyone. I'm sincerely sorry.

They say I don't exist, and yet my bloodwork today says otherwise. Strange.

Whole government can get fucked

They're coming for the gays next. This is just divide and conquer/destroy.

It's a matter of time before they delete this too and also pull any HIV drug programs so they become unaffordable, causing an HIV epidemic, which they won't care about, because they are disgusted by gays (and many might think they can turn lesbian heterosexual with... an unwanted sexual encounter).

There is no LGB without the T.

My trans family, an attack on you is an attack on all of us.

My fellow cis queers, we cannot afford to close our eyes and say "well we count as normal enough these days". Protect our trans siblings.

Leaving LGB really feels like that right-wing UK movement to divide the LGBTQ+ community. I imagine that was the idea.

I know this doesn't mean anything, and it's maybe a bit much or even cringe, but to any transfolk reading this, I will do my best to vote, take local action, and protest to support and defend you. You are sincerely loved.

I just...

It hasn't even been two weeks.

I'm so god damn tired of this.

Honestly I'm more insulted at the lazy attempt. Is this really dividing people? Finding an actual gay for Trump out in the wild feels like finding a mythical beast of legend and they're always like the worst person you've ever met. Every queer person I know isn't fooled by this bullshit one bit.

It's only a matter of time before they try to erase the other letters, which includes me. Fuck the government.

TRANS IS BEAUTIFUL, YOU FASCIST FUCKS.

I am so sorry for everyone directly affected by this. This is fucked up.

I have a very close trans family member who lives outside of the country. They have a US passport and a passport in their country of residency. Is it already at the point where they shouldn't travel into the US?

This is so fucked up, I can't believe something like this is happening in my lifetime. It's just pure cruelty and inhumanity.

An immensely disappointing and terrible regression. My view is, of course, possibely very immature as a non-US , but from 2016 to 2020, I felt that Trump was extensively portrayed by media and social network opinion leaders as a foolish opportunist who stumbled his way into the White House because of his knack for displaying cult of personality.

There's no reason to underestimate his destructiveness now. He is a fully determined dicator driven by an almost defined ideology, thanks in large part to the millions of people who have handed him power.

This entire fascist project needs to be dismantled from top to bottom as soon as possible.

I honestly want WW2 vets to be slappin' their boomer kids across the head

I need to point out her argument about what poly people have in common is their "rejection of social norms and expectations" before immediately launching into being upset that other people are criticizing poly people for being outside of social norms and expectations.

You see this in all kinds of online "queer" spaces, where they make clear that their "queerness" is a brave and stunning stand against SOCIETY while also claiming that they "just" want society to "accept" it. Something that's obviously true but we should therefore expect that if society were to accept it they would drop from their identity to chase something new that would be "marginalized" so as to maintain their status of bold outsider challenging society simply by existing.

This is quite easy to demonstrate by looking back in the personal history of any of these people, as well as simply looking at their political stances which mostly consist of being against what they perceive as "centrist"/"chud"/etc. without any rhyme or reason or underlying unifying belief outside of that they currently hold those beliefs. Also look at their profiles where they seem to collect as many of these marginalized statuses as possible to move them further and further away from "society" with a perfect example being Android Sophia constantly self-diagnosing with improbable increasing sets of disabilities.

They are trend chasers but only trends that seem to inversely relate to what they perceive as majority opinion so as to further differentiate themselves and establish their personal individual uniqueness above all. They seek the solidarity of a community that is one: themselves. But they cannot ever escape the insecurity and be "comfortable in their own skin" because they externalize everything by outsourcing their entire existence to be determined by how they perceive others perceive them. Endlessly seeking that ONE WEIRD TRICK that will force others to treat them as they believe they deserve.

Turns out being a massive cunt isn't endearing. Who would have thought?

Wrong, chud. It has to be because I say I'm a woman and lesbian now.

Creepy straight dudes that recently realised they've been lesbian ladies all along: We were always at the forefront fighting for your rights! You gays owe us everything! You know that once they're done with us they'll come for you!

US Government: We have decided to separate the LGB from the T.

Creepy straight dudes: They better fuckin' come for the gays...

[BIONIC]

People need to stop derailing threads with arguments about Gaza and whether or not people were right to vote or not vote. I spent most of last year giving myself panic attacks trying to keep it all from getting to this point. A bunch of us were banning dudes to try and keep a lid on that kettle of nonsense.

"If you didn't vote for Harris you're complicit in every horrible thing Trump does"

"If you voted for Harris you're complicit in the genocide of the people of Gaza"

Seriously, I spent most of last year keeping up on the news and banning this exact sort of nonsense to the point I destroyed my own mental health just to try and prevent us from getting to this point.

Just stop derailing the threads with this argument already. Stop taking pot shots at each other.

Cunt, it’s a video game forum

We have a very long history of taking pot shots at each other on all kinds of topics. Like the wrong thing and you will get accused of being in such and such group or someone will just smugly reply "sus". This is on the daily, it's annoying, but it's whatever. I'm not wanting that to be moderated.

Our government is actively trying to exterminate the trans community. It's actively trying to ruin immigrant families and lives. It's actively trying to destroy our planet. It's actively trying to make the lives of women and minorities more miserable. I feel absolute rage. That rage is directed not so much at the villains. I already knew they were villains. It's directed at the people who allowed the villains to walk right through the door. My rage is 100% justified and it is not going away. I'll stop posting about it because I value my account, but I feel compelled to express myself this last time.

I think it's very fair to ask for threads not to be derailed.

Look, I'm not saying don't be pissed. Lord know I am. I'm barely holding some of it in. What I'm saying is, all you'd do is completely derail any thread and make it about the constant back and forth about abstaining or not due to Gaza.

Let me put it this way: Project 2025 was first reported on by, if I remember right, the NYTimes back in December of 2023 when they published the whole document. We had a thread on it that became totally derailed by the argument over voting for Biden or not. We had about five subsequent threads that were also derailed for the same reason. Bans got issued but it kept happening and it wouldn't stop. As a result, we didn't have an actual thread on it until June/July of 2024. All because people had to keep derailing the threads with that same argument each time.

What Trump is doing is horrible and is going to affect all of us, some far more than others depending on the topic. I don't want us to have to be locking important threads over an argument that amounts to people taking their fear and anger out on each other. That's all I'm saying here. Trust me when I say I get how frustrating it is, god knows I've got a lot of anger right now over all this but I need to put it aside to make sure everyone has a space where they can talk about this stuff and try to figure out how to deal. All I'm asking is for posters to let people have that space.

Edit: I also want to note, we've only been issuing subforum bans, not full bans. By doing this we're able to clean up the threads without having to kick people out entirely. If posters don't get the message and keep derailing threads, they'll just get kicked out of those threads entirely.

I'm glad you expressed yourself, and I want you to know I feel very similar. I am reflecting on what I see as the mistakes of the last few years (on the left), and learning from it, but I'm doing my best not to get frustrated at people who are ultimately friends, allies, and communities that really need to come together right now. For all of our protection. What we've learned and reflected on from how this played out can be carried forwards positively, even if it's going to be fucking hard.

Fascism is when you have to share your government provided office space:

Did nazi that coming.

State Media

What petty shit….facism going into over drive….

Right out of the fascism playbook.

Coddling the wannabe dictator comes home to roost. I bet Kash Patel is going to have these newly instated FBI agents arresting journalists in no time.

I'd like to dare these assholes to do one decent thing, you fucks.

I really do wonder when this stuff hits critical mass and people wake up. Like what is the straw that breaks the camels back?

Asking we ever do hit critical mass and don't just continue walking off a cliff like lemmings

Following the playbook to a T

From what I've read of Nazi Germany, that moment never comes. Every time the people wait for some pivotal inciting scandal or atrocity that will trigger those around them to action. They wait and wait, and one day wake up and realize that everything has changed, slowly but surely, and that it's too late.

Didn't Breitbart turn on Trump pre-election?

Breitbart would definitely support a fascist takeover of America. I'm sure they've talked behind the scenes and will coordinate.

Just hopping in all of these threads to make sure I don't lose site of all this bullshit.

Accepted that this country is over as we know it.

Some influential, important Americans might want to decide like, RIGHT NOW whether they want to become the next Russia completely a week from now. We're hitting critical status as we speak.

If it's anything like Nazi Germany, this moment never comes. Most of the populace just adjusts with a significant amount feigning support and try to survive.

Even if it did came, it's probably too late now. The moment for everyone to wake up was back before November 5th.

Somehow nobody in any seat of power seems concerned about any of this

Well, state-run news media is one of the hallmarks of a fascist dictatorship, after all...

Journalists deserve the rope:

Maybe now journalists will take ir seriously since its effecting them.

Nah they'll lick boot harder.

Honestly serves them right for coddling trump and then still losing the access they craved so desperately.

This would be scary if those old media outlets weren't already coddling trump and the republicans to save their freefalling ratings

LMFAO

So how well did all that sanewashing and sucking up to him do for you, NY Times?

lol at NY Times after all the ass kissing they did.

lol these fucking idiots really thought they'd be able to stick around if they licked boots hard enough. reap what you sow.

Looks like all those dogshit opinion columns really paid off for the times huh

I know this is a net BAD for us, but also it is kind of funny to see these organizations who basically licked Trump's boots lose their credentials

While this is terrible, also a very get owned to the NYT. Whitewashed and sucked up to Trump yet again and got spit in the face for it. They deserve it.

This was my thought too. NY times especially deserves this.

Stupidity is fucking rampant. You have a rogue asshole federal government and what do you have to show for it. If you are not hammering Dump every fucking day you are wasting your time and supposed station. No fucking self-respect whatsoever. Dereliction of duty all around.

Go on, make your money.

They'll let CNN news in and claim to be "balanced", when CNN has already turned into Fox News 0.4 Beta version

being the useful idiot never works out

But NYT has historically loved Nazis....

Congrats to the political journalists at NYT who made it their mission to destroy Biden due to lack of access. Really, just spectacular work.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Those leopards are feasting and I'm here for it.

All these fucking news networks carrying water for Trump and GOP and this is what they are rewarded with. I thought smart people were suppose to be running these things? Anyone with sense would have told them Trump coming back into power would lead to this for them. But they valued both side-ism and protecting their "access" above all.

Now they get no access.

lol and the media will continue to boot lick and nothing will change. Can you just IMAGINE if Biden/Obama did something like this?

Will this be a wake up calls for legacy news media and journalism?

(Narrator: no)

I always thought huffpost was fine?

If anything, politico was the one that's been right-leaning for years.

They'll try harder to bend the knee and win back his favor.

I'm going to ignore the horrific implications of this and for now just laugh at the outlets that got kicked out despite sucking up to Trump.

Are you telling me that bending to fascism didn't stop it coming after them?

shocked Pikachu face.

Well, NYT...was it worth it?

Let's be honest, the lesson corporate media will take from this is... "Next time we'll lick boots WAY earlier"

Even public broadcasting has always tried to walk that shitty line for way longer than their journalistic integrity demanded.

NPR can survive. Hope everyone else reap what they sow lmao

This is obviously terrible, but I can't help but laugh at the news orgs that have bent over backwards to "both sides" every issue and create false equivalence where there is none and still get the boot for his toadies. In a sane world they would see the error in their ways and try to report the truth no matter the consequences, but I've been around too long to think that would happen. The only lesson they'll take from this is they need to push even further to the right.

Terrible, sure, but the NYT can get FUCKED, can't deny I'm laughing at them inside.

Well it's a good thing they were able to get that Trump access for as long as it lasted. Maybe getting rid of critical on air talent will help ?

Confusion because nobody read the tweets:

Looks like they're owned by Buzzfeed but their CEO is Jonah Peretti. Incidentally his sister is Chelsea Peretti of Brooklyn 99 fame and she is Jordan Peele's wife.

But it seems that Vivek Ramaswamy owns ~9% of Buzzfeed.

So fuck if I know what's happening here

Jordan Peele's wife owns the site now? And they're part of Trump's fucking press crew? Now I'm even more confused.

No Jordan Peele's brother in law Jonah Peretti runs Buzzfeed.

It's still kinda confusing

Staff members are allowed to post very stupid conspiracy theories that encourage others:

Some weird choices. HuffPost is left-leaning and Breitbart hates Trump.

Not to be conspiratorial, but I would be surprised if there wasn't some communication between fascist Trump and these folks regarding messaging and what they are and aren't allowed to do so they can still "report" on this.

I remember having a conversation with an old conservative friend of mine (who went completely off the deep end) about this being Trumps ultimate goal as soon as he started normalizing "fake news." It was all so easy in the end.

HuffPost is small enough bone to throw that they can plead impartiality when the media finally gets around to giving them shit on Monday without actually worrying about it

Fascists won't have any problem circling the wagons now that Trump's in office and they don't have to hand-wring over his electoral chances due to his poor performance/downballot performance in all the elections between 2016 and 2024

Finally, on Post #103:

Maybe it's not malicious, but the thread title makes this sound like the listed outlets are being banned access. They are not. The on site offices are being "rotated" yearly but no press access is being revoked from anyone.

Really no need to make things sound any worse than they already fucking are lol

Let me put it this way: Project 2025 was first reported on by, if I remember right, the NYTimes back in December of 2023 when they published the whole document.

Love how he still thinks it was some secret document that had to be "reported" and "published" and not something Heritage proudly publicly posted on their website like they do every election.

Is BDubs going to bitch about misinformation and lack of reading comprehension again? Or this is okay?

It's not about reading comprehension because they didn't even read the memo to begin with.   Booshka saying, "Following the playbook to a T" is pretty funny, though.
