Here is the alt-text description for the image:

The image is a meme-style graphic with pink hearts, rainbow and flower graphics scattered throughout. The background is a pink color, with a wire shelf visible at the top. Dangling from the shelf is a string of colorful lights. A pale pink fabric hammock hangs from the shelf, and a possum peeks out from within it. Above the possum, the text reads "this is a homie check point..." and below the hammock, the text reads "are you okay bro?"

The image is a meme with different elements. In the top left corner, there is a graphic resembling a document labeled "USA Patriot Act 2.0" with an eagle emblem. Below it is a crying Wojak wearing a "Biden President" baseball cap. Below that text is "you really think buying assault rifles and organizing the community is the best way to fight white supremacy?". The word "yes" is written in large black letters in the middle. Scattered around the image are several images of assault rifles and profile illustrations of people with different skin tones and hairstyles.

A grainy, dark image shows a line of riot police in dark uniforms and helmets facing the viewer. They stand behind a large, dark vehicle with a satellite dish on top. The background is blurry, showing dark trees and streetlights, suggesting a nighttime urban setting. At the bottom of the image, text reads: "It speaks to the very nature of our domestication that we only choose resistance so long as it feels like something we can win."

A photograph shows the backs of a group of people, many with their arms around each other, holding up numerous Israeli flags. The flags are predominantly blue and white with the Star of David. The individuals are standing under a metal structure, and other people are visible in the background. The image is accompanied by a headline that reads, "'Everything is legitimate': Israeli leaders defend soldiers accused of rape," and a subheading describing a societal division over the arrest of ten soldiers accused of gang rape.

Bien sûr, voici une description de texte alternatif pour l'image :

L'image montre une parodie du logo Google. Les lettres sont modifiées pour inclure des symboles de violence tels qu'une arme à feu, une cible, un crâne et une tache de sang. En dessous, une barre de recherche Google affiche la question : « Les enfants auxquels on a amputé les jambes leur refont-elles pousser ? » Une légende en dessous explique que cette question a été posée par un enfant de Gaza pendant le génocide israélien, et que Google a joué un rôle dans ce génocide en fournissant à l'armée israélienne une technologie utilisée pour opprimer et tuer les Palestiniens.

The text at the top says, “American policies remain the same, only their faces change,” and is attributed to an Iranian poster from 2018, showing Presidents Trump and Obama as one.

"I was a liberal but I became a Trump conservative because I wanted to still be a bigot in public" is a standard rich white kid villain origin story.

in reply to Nowhere Girl

Conservatives love using transphobia as a wedge issue specifically because so many cis liberals merely pay lip service to equality and they feel truly entitled to that one, if only as a stand-in for all the other bigotries they wish to reclaim.

And since no one else comes to our defense...

in reply to Nowhere Girl

The problem with a lot of cis-het white people is they've spent their whole lives thinking they're "normal" and the rest of aren't. Superior, even, and naturally so. And they don't understand why they aren't allowed to just say that. They think every other white person is thinking the same thing. So why should they be ashamed of it? And they become enraged when they experience any pushback whatsoever. And they flock to media environments that encourage them.

It takes a breathtaking sense of entitlement that, I think, masks an underlying insecurity, as the worst of these people have never had to work for anything in their lives. Basically, every Young Republican and no few "liberal" nepo kids.
in reply to Nowhere Girl

"I'm normal" has become a fascist rallying cry for a reason.

In the logic of fascism, anyone who isn't "normal" is automatically subhuman and doesn't deserve to live.

reshared this

in reply to Nowhere Girl

I think this rallying cry also serves as an affirmation for many fashies, especially the men. Remember the howls of indignity when Tim Walz said right-wing men are "weird?" His insult cut them to the bone. It instantly transported those guys back to a turning point in their adolescence, when they were first called weirdos by girls who wanted nothing to do with these budding creeper types. That moment scarred them.

"I'm not weird! I'm normal! Normal, do you hear me?!" Yeah, right.

in reply to Efilroftsul

@Efilroftsul Yeah. Which is why being "normal" is a badge of self-identification primarily for cis-het white men. Cis-het white women have often enabled white supremacist patriarchy but they are never considered full citizens, as it were, so much as these men's sexual property, in part because of a lifetime of perceived slights and failures.
in reply to Nowhere Girl

Our existence, disabled and other non-normals, is perhaps a threat to their ideas of how they must run their lives. We exist differently, contrary to their own choices of what they think is right and good.

How dare we contradict them. Our existence being different than theirs, is a direct challenge to their own path in life.

Their path in life is threatened by us being ourselves. They loathe being contradicted, it's like we are a living argument.

in reply to Nowhere Girl

and the level of boo hoo about the word "cis" is pretty egregious.
Like, who do we think is in charge of words?

In fairness, neither Biden nor the democrats did much to advance trans or gay rights - but everyone thought they did. And that association was enough for cis straight liberals to run away.

Scapegoating is a common diversionary tactic of fascists and dictators. Get people focused on something else so they don't focus on said fascists or dictators. Kind of like pointing out a squirrel to a golden retriever. Sucks being the scapegoat tho.

I do not understand why they are so focused on trans people. For fuck sake, even IF there was something wrong with y'all... you're what, 1.6% of the population?! Why the fuck are trans people such a priority?
I've met quite a few. You're pretty much the same as everyone else except that one trait. There's some who are assholes, a few who are racsit, and the vast majority who are decent people, and some who are AMAZING people.

@hellomiakoda Because transphobia has been normalized and socially accepted for so long, and because (albeit limited) progress has been made elsewhere, it feels like the last domino to them.

He is the lead developer of Friendica, bearing the main responsibility. However, it is not correct to say that he is the only one continuing the development of Friendica. It would be unfair to disregard the contributions of countless other individuals who provide input, conduct code reviews, or maintain the stable versions.

In fact, the web UI has received little attention in recent years. Engaging UX/UI experts for a FOSS project is always a challenge. However, there is currently a development in this area that is quite interesting.
