It can happen here. The dehumanization required for genocide is already present.

A twitter post by Maha Hussaini (@HahaGazy) with the text "About the hypocrisy, double standards of the world, Hamed Ashour from #Gaza, writes: "A year ago, I shared the story of this very friendly dog. What a lucky dog he turned out to be, his story was featured in Arab and international magazines, read by over 5 million people around the world, and translated into seven different languages.

At the time, I was contacted by an animal welfare organisation based in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. They wanted to check on the dog’s health and asked for photos of the tent we lived in and guarded together. I sent the pictures, and in return, I received an overwhelming and extremely rare show of sympathy. They seriously explored the possibility of evacuating the dog from Gaza through partner organisations.

They wanted a better life, a cleaner place, and a wider sky for the dog. No one mentioned me, who was living in a tent unfit even for a dog.""

There are two images attached. The first is an image of a person laying on a beech in front of a dog. The next is an image of the same dog in front of a tent in the sand. The date for the post is 9:21 AM jul 16 2025 and has 141k views.

"we can't stop calling fascists "disabled" as an insult, that would make us too different from the normies so it would be harder to recruit them" (the main recruiting point that we have is that we are actually different)

a tweet by "Abby" (@abbyMachines) That says "No you don't understand bro we need to abandon another minority group to win. I know it didn't work last time but come on bro just trust me. We just need to alienate another group of marginalized people and their loved ones and we'll definitely win the election this time"

the text in the post (as well as quotes in the title) is sarcastic.

You do not help people by hurting them. That statement is something that I need to say again and again, and I cannot possibly say enough. If someone does an action that puts us down to help recruit more of the "general population" into a movement, all you do is achieve less, not more

A framed yellow square with text and graphs in it. The text says "Mental health conditions are very high in autistic people. A study by E.Cage et. al. in 2017 showed that autism acceptance from others and personal acceptance had a positive impact on depression and anxiety rates." There are then two simplified graphs where the y axis is depression, and the x of them are external acceptance, and the other is personal acceptance. The line has a strong downward trend with external acceptance, and lower but still downward trend with personal acceptance. There is a citation at the bottom that says. "Cage, E., Di Monaco, J. & Newell, V. Experiences of Autism acceptance and mental health in autistic adults KJ autism dev discord 48, 473-484 (2018). There is a watermark in the corner that says "autism sketches"

Of the top 100 ships (200 characters) on AO3, there are 4 black characters. A lot of people see these numbers and try to dismiss them without thinking about what they show about white supremacy and patriarchy. How white men are seen as a default and everyone else must justify their existence.

This is a screenshot from the AO3 website with the text: "Welcome to the 2025 AO3 Ship Stats!

As part of the AO3 Ship Stats project, this list shows the 100 fastest-growing relationship tags on Archive Of Our Own in the period August 2 2024 - July 29 2025. This list was created by comparing the current number of fics with data gathered for the 2024 AO3 Ship Stats.

There are 56 M/M relationships on the list, 13 F/M, 6 F/F, 13 Gen and 12 Other. (Please note that on AO3, ‘Name & Name’ indicates platonic or familial ‘Gen’ relationships, while ‘Name/Name’ is used for romantic and sexual pairings.)

Of the 200 names on the list, 29 are women, 2 are non-binary, and 10 are characters of ambiguous gender, compared with 21, 2 and 7 in the 2024 list. In total there are 84 white characters, 60 Asian characters, 7 Latino characters, 4 Middle Eastern or North African characters, 4 Black characters, 1 Indigenous character and 1 Roma character, as well as 26 racially ambiguous characters and 16 characters with non-human skin tones. There are 76 total Characters of Colour, which is 2 fewer than the number listed in 2024."

What is happening now is because of what was happening before. This is not some evil outside of history, this is not the fault of one person, and this is not because people are inherently evil.

A tweet by what's left of the south @wlotspod that says "I keep seeing memes like 'america is 1930s Germany.' No America is America. Slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, Operation Wet Back, and what's happening now are all American as apple pie. We don't have to look elsewhere for fascism it's always been here."

Every time you complain about someone "being divisive" talking about their own experience you allow the structures of harm to expand.

Alt text: A post by thereClaimed that says "So many people are bewildered as to what "got us here", when folks have been sounding the alarms for years, decades, centuries. To be blunt: Bigotry got us here. Inhumanity got us here. Inhumanity got us here. Racism got us here. Misogyny got us here. Ethnic cleansing got us here. Homophobia got us here. Ableism got us here. Demonizing the disenfranchised got us here. Caring more about profits than people or planet got us here. The road to 'here' is paved with hatred & inhumanity. The only way we fix it is to combat that hate."

Alt text: A Tumblr post by kirbyOfTheStars that says ">'mannish features' > look inside > literally just common physical traits among women of colour. you can't separate transmisogyny from racism. the radical feminism movement is so overwhelmingly white because their idea of what a woman is so thoroughly steeped in white supremacy." and a response from iSuggestRespectTransPeople "You can't separate transmisogyny from racism. Very important to remember"

You are not an ideal, you have to be willing to get better

A Tumblr post by problemNyatic that says "the most valuable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace. You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it. You cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. Yeah even when it's embarrassing and sucks for you a lot.

Queer is a community, not some inherent state of being. Anybody can choose to be queer if they want.

A tumblr post by a user called NotHorses with a reply by ImmaAxolotl that features an image of a comment by deerFishing on jan 29th. The first post says "There is so much about modern queer discourse that could be fixed simply by understanding 'straightness' to be a socio-political classification and reward for conformity rather than just a personal identity. " The imaged reply says "if you think about the etymology of the word "straight" referring to being "on the straight and narrow". It means that you're normal, you're conforming. It's more of an antonym to "queer" than it is to "homosexual". The direct meaning has obviously changed but the social side of it remains that as long as you don't conform, you aren't truly "straight". The reply that contains the image says "the only comment in the notes that understood the assignment".

Building and maintaining tools of the oppressors will not help the oppressed. This is something I have been seeing more and more people doing with ableism. Calling right wingers any variation of disabled as an insult just hurts the people around you.

A drawing of three stick figures. The first one is shooting at the one with the shield and it bounces off and hits the third. The text above the one with the gun says "you" and the gun is labeled "misgendering". The person with the shield has the text "trans person who has done something bad". The person being shot has the label "trans person you care about who now knows you view respecting their identity as optional"

Two posts, the first by “teaboot” shows text stating, '1.7% of people are intersex, 2% have green eyes, and 1.5% are redheads, but yeah red is a natural hair color, green is a natural eye color, and being intersex is a “deformity”. keep pretending gender isn’t a social construct' The bottom post, with a user named “rogha” states, '0.06% of people live in Ireland, and we all agree that People Live in Ireland.'

The less the state gets to weigh in on, the harder it is for it to get rid of us. There is a reason that in almost all gender clinics trans-woman are only allowed hormones if we can convince doctors we are attempting to be meek "traditional" women.

A two panel meme. The first has an image of satan with a thought bubble. The second has a picture of a vampire woman with a bunch of bats and revealing pink clothes. Satan is saying "my child will trust doctors and wait 5 years for 50mg of spiro and 2mg of E" and the hot vampire is saying "diyhrt.market, diyhrt.wiki, and r/transdiy"

We have queer writings from thousands of years ago. We have existed far longer than fascists, and will outlive their ideology too.

Alt text: An image depicting a silhouette with shoulder length, thin, and wavy hair, and possessing a white grin, standing in front of a trans flag, with the glowing red text in front of the silhouette and under their grin saying in all caps “I will outlive you”.

An image of a tumblr post of a comic by PolyamZeal on oct 31 2023. It features two panels of two feminine people talking. The first has black curely hair, tan skin, and a tan shirt. The other has pink hair, lighter skin, and a purple sweater. The background is purple. The first pane has the first person talking saying "my partner and I are in an open relationship now" with the other person saying "oh I see, I know many couples who do that and it didn't go well..." The next panel is similar the first but with dense markings on the background and the first person looking angry. The second person starts with "my boyfriend and I are getting married!" While the first person says "oh I see. I know many couples who did that and it didn't go well..."

Biological essentialism does not help women, it just defines our oppression as "inherent to us". No features of bodies are "inherently a" or "inherently b", they are all, always, what the person who has them makes of them

A twitter post by @wokingGirl1. It says When my sister married, and changed her title and name, my aunts were all "ooh, congratulations MRS <newname>". When I transitioned and changed my tile (sic) and name they were all "it's too hard, I’ve always known you as…". If you’re cis and you’ve done this, maybe reflect on why.'"
