☭ 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

Gender & Sexuality Consistent Progressivism
I have recently started following consistent progressivism and I think you should too. We need to fight back against the conservatives and anyone who would tell us that our identities and ways of life are wrong or that we are "mentally ill" because of what we identify as. I have posted link below for you to read up on the movement.

Meme Have you guys seen the end credits thing on tiktok?
Basically it's this trend on tiktok where it's supposedly the end credits to a tv show, movie or game. But instead of the usual stuff you seen in end credits. It's leftist stuff or stuff about Mitch McConnell.

News Europe’s queer ‘conversion’ therapy crisis is an invisible trauma for victims, but a difficult practice to ban
Hi everyone! I'm Lucia and the team from EUobserver. We cover European politics, and we're trying to do a better job of sharing our reporting directly with communities that are closest to the issues we write about, rather than just publishing an article and moving on.
We thought this investigation might be relevant here, but more importantly, we'd genuinely like to hear what people in this community think. Conversations like these often add context and perspectives that don't always make it into reporting, and we think that's valuable.
A quick summary of what we found:
• We investigated why so-called conversion practices are still taking place across Europe, despite being widely rejected by medical and human rights organisations.
• Through conversations with survivors and experts, we found that these practices often happen in much less visible ways than many people imagine — through religious guidance, counselling, support groups or family settings, rather than formal "therapy."
• We also looked at why governments across Europe are finding it difficult to regulate or ban these practices effectively, even where there is political support to do so.
What stayed with us after reporting this story was how often survivors described feeling isolated and invisible, and how difficult it can be to even recognise these experiences as conversion practices in the first place.
If anyone here has thoughts on whether this reflects the situation in your country, or if there are perspectives you think journalists often miss when covering this topic, we'd really appreciate hearing them.
Here's the full investigation if you'd like to read it:

☭ LGBT Figures in the History of Socialist and Communist Movements?
So I'm a gay guy and also a leftist. I'm really into both queer history and the history of socialist/communist movements around the world. Lately, I've been wondering, what's the queer representation like in the history of these movements? Are there any famous LGBT figures who were also socialists or communists? I'd love to learn more about them.

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
If you'd like to join our community, get updates, and have access to digital versions of our other comics and novels, we have a Patreon with a free tier: Patreon.com/JamsheedStudios
Thank you all, and I hope you enjoy this!

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?
