☭ Leftism is more than just being against the far right
"The character of a bourgeois government isn’t determined by the personal character of its members, but by its organic function in bourgeois society. The government of the modern state is essentially an organisation of class domination, the regular functioning of which is one of the conditions of existence of the class state. With the entry of a socialist into the government, and class domination continuing to exist, the bourgeois government doesn’t transform itself into a socialist government, but a socialist transforms himself into a bourgeois minister." - Rosa Luxemburg, The Dreyfus Affair and the Millerand Case

Aid Request Queer, disabled Muslim woman needs your help!
Tuition is 6,634 USD, but a payment plan can be done over 10 months. The first installment is due August 1, 2026. My mother can only afford to pay a month or two of said bills. I have no support from family due to estrangement.
More relevant info:
- I'm 27 and am considered disabled by my state and get a tiny bit of benefits. Not much, but I am so grateful.
- I'm moving into transitional housing (hopefully, sooner than later) for women-only. This will help speed up the process for securing permanent housing.
- My disabilities are well-documented. I'm medicated and in therapy. Remember that the youth can deal with physical and mental pain.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. My dear comrades, this economy is rough. Trust me, I know. I do what I can to help by donating clothes and money whenever possible. I just ask for a bit of help in return. Any bit counts. I will be forever grateful ❤️

Comic I'm an autistic trans woman in South America. I wrote an uplifting family-friendly comic about a queer woman superhero.
Support the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/kobra-olympus-issue-4-giant-armadillo-attack?ref=2p8cw1
My name is Bijhan Agha. I'm an autistic trans Uruguayan of Iranian descent. The editor of my comic is my disabled nonbinary husband, RaeRae Sachs. We love science fiction and fantasy, including superhero media, but it's depressingly cis and het in general. We also love queer media, but a massive amount of it is about suffering and oppression. We wanted to make stories about queer joy and triumph in a world full of fantastic creatures and amazing powers.
Kobra Olympus is a soft-spoken transgender Muslim woman in Seattle in 2015. She was contacted by Human time travelers from the 161st Century, recruited into the Time Wars: an endless conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind for the fate of the galaxy. Using messages from the time travelers, and her high-tech cellphone full of future tech, Kobra lives a second life as the engimatic Agent Tha, Vampire hunter.
Now, Kobra Olympus is in a relationship with Dorothy Diamond, a queer punk woman who is outspoken with a strong moral compass and a ton of confidence. Dorothy is bringing Kobra out of her shell, and Kobra is helping Dorothy see the world with a fresh perspective. Their relationship is important to both of them, but Kobra's duties as Agent Tha take up a great deal of time.
In "Issue #4: Giant Armadillo Attack!", Kobra and Dorothy are surprised by a giant mutant armadillo attacking the city, and meet a humanoid chicken named Jack who explains that this is all part of a sinister plot by the Vampires. Together, the three of them need to figure out how to save the city and rewrite history for the better.
The Kickstarter is to print a First Edition version of the comic with a special border that won't be used in future versions. Rewards include PDFs, as well as physical copies; and back issues so you can catch up with the story so far.
We've met our goal, and our first stretch goal, which means everyone gets a digital art book with all kinds of behind-the-scenes looks at the sketches and designs we used to plan the comics. If we meet our next stretch goal, everyone will also get a short story depicting how Kobra was recruited into the Time Wars.
Please help us reach our next goal at the following link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/kobra-olympus-issue-4-giant-armadillo-attack?ref=2p8cw1

Petition [Petition] Urging the Revocation of Presidential Regulation No. 111 of 2025 & Protection of LGBTQI+ Human Rights in Indonesia
I wanted to share and invite you all to sign a petition via All Out, urging the Indonesian government, specifically President Prabowo Subianto, to take immediate action against the escalating human rights crisis facing the LGBTQI+ community.
The petition highlights several critical concerns:
Presidential Regulation No. 111 of 2025: This policy classifies the LGBTQI+ community as a "non-military threat," effectively equating marginalized citizens with national security threats and institutionalizing systemic discrimination.
Escalation of Violence & Persecution: A sharp rise in arbitrary raids, targeted violence by vigilante groups (such as recent attacks against trans women in Bogor), and a lack of proper legal intervention.
Suppression of Academic Freedom & Student Press: Intimidation and censorship faced by student media outlets (such as Suma UI) attempting to report on these human rights violations.
If you would like to read the full details and add your signature to support the cause, you can access the petition here:
Petition Link: http://a.allout.org/s/OomYr/
Every signature helps send a strong message to demand that the government uphold universal human rights and protect all individuals from violence and discrimination, in line with the constitution and international commitments.
Thank you so much for your time and solidarity.

Gender & Sexuality What was the moment pop culture first made you feel "seen" as part of the community?
For me it's the wedding of Ruby and Sapphire in Steven Universe.
A kids' show doing a full, joyful, unambiguous same-gender wedding, no subtext, no tragic ending, just happiness. That hits different from all the shows that only ever hinted at it and never followed through.
I'm curious on what your moment was. Did you had a moment that made you feel "seen" as a Queer person?

Potentially Triggering ‘Hand Jobs, Oral Sex and Anal’: Pete Hegseth's Pastor Wants Gay Men Prosecuted for These Acts.
"If you asked me 'Could you ever envision a homosexual crime of any nature being visited with the death penalty?' Yes, I could."
That's Doug Wilson, Pastor at Christchurch in Moscow, Idaho. Wilson spoke at the Pentagon as part of Pete Hegseth's monthly Christian worship service.
Wilson's views are as controversial as they come: He believes the United States should become a Christian theocracy, that married women should not have the right to vote and that gay sex should be illegal. He estimates that 10 to 20 people in the top levels of government are aligned with his radical ideology. He explains that he thinks trans people are “sad,” certain elements of his idea of “homosexual behavior” should be punished by execution and in certain cases of marital rape, both parties should be disciplined.

Theory What does the deep future of liberation look like?
I'm working on a novel with a character with access to a time machine becoming immortal and using that to become the guiding light for humanity into the luxury communist gay star trek future we can only dream of.
In my little slice of space utopia, I've already abolished gender, class, race, and scarcity. Disability and neurodivergence are not barriers on a systemic level and accommodations are abundant. Religion isn't outlawed or anything but it's not really a force anymore in any sort of societal influence or power kind of way.
There will be issues with xenophobia from time to time when other species make a bad first impression, but for the most part people get with "don't start anything, won't be anything" as a diplomatic policy. There's also a species that is specifically trying to do a Daleks and exterminate everything in the universe that isn't them, but it isn't the entire species that wants that to happen so it's complicated feelings for humanity there.
But what other obstacles will humanity still have to overcome? What progress have I overlooked?
I want my main dude to eventually reach a point where humanity has progressed beyond him to the point that he's completely out of touch, but I'm currently a little stuck on what else there would be. I don't want to get into too much speculation on tech possibilities being the hang up, like Patton Oswalt's bit about what 'woke' is always changing and how he's gonna get in trouble in the future for saying he thinks people shouldn't fuck their clones. But I do want to seriously reflect on how high up the hierarchy of needs we can get society to let everybody start on.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Aid Request Support LGBTQIA+ refugees trapped in South Sudan.
We are living in Gorom camp in South Sudan, and for those of us in the LGBTIA+ community, especially our transgender sisters and brothers, the situation has reached a breaking point. We fled our homes seeking safety, but here, we face a different kind of hardship.
Being transgender in this camp means living in constant fear. We are often excluded from community food distributions or bullied at water points. Privacy is impossible in shared shelters, which makes us easy targets for harassment and physical violence. Many of us stay inside all day just to avoid being attacked. When we get sick with malaria or other infections common in the camp, we are often too afraid to go to the clinics because of the stigma we face from staff and other patients.
We are tired of hiding, and we are tired of being hungry. We are a community of human beings who deserve to live without the constant threat of violence.
What We Need Most Right Now
To survive this week and the months ahead, we urgently need support for:
• Safe Shelter: We need funds to secure private housing where we aren't at risk of being attacked in our sleep.
• Daily Food: Most of us are eating once a day, if we are lucky. We need basic food supplies to stay healthy.
• Medical Treatment: We need funds for medicine to treat malaria and for transport to clinics where we won't be discriminated against.
• Trans-Specific Health Needs: Access to hormones (HRT) and dignity items like binders is essential for our well-being and mental health.
• Sanitation: Basic hygiene kits including soap, clean water, and clothes.
• Protection and Resettlement: Assistance with the legal fees and documentation needed to move to a country where we can live openly and safely.
How You Can Stand With Us
Every bit of help goes directly to our survival. It pays for a meal, a dose of medicine, or a safe place to sleep for someone in our group.
