DHS funding ran out at midnight last night, triggering a partial government shutdown. Republicans had a choice between supporting massively popular, desperately needed restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol or shutting down DHS. And they chose to shut down DHS. 🧵

It's not hyperbole to say that trans people are facing a human rights crisis in the UK, and it's been entirely cultivated by the worst people including a large chunk of the Labour Party

When sensibles scratch their heads about Starmer's unpopularity they reveal that they don't care about this human rights crisis, nor the genocide in Gaza, nor young climate protestors being laughed out of a Labour event. Of course he's unpopular he's a nasty cunt.

Minneapolis sign game is strong and weird.

There is no amount of demonstrable harm from Democrats toward trans people you can ever show a centrist which will convince them you're not just being too loud and shrill

There are very few Democrats that I will not vote for: I voted for and ENDORSED Kamala Harris, for instance, in the last election. Gavin Newsom is one of them. His election would be an active threat to transgender people, and I lay out the case in my piece.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

The Kansas State Legislature just passed SB 244, an extremist bill which cruelly targets trans people and their access to restrooms and accurate identity documents. Kansans: The time to act is NOW. 🚨 Contact your legislators and urge them to SUPPORT the veto of SB 244: tinyurl.com/2m77hbkk

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

If we learn nothing from this goofy ? It’s that being openly anti Black/ immigrant/ queer and thinking it won’t affect other things is a LIE

This is murder They are murdering children

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."

There might be - and almost certainly are - very good reasons why a child may want to keep something secret from their parents. Section 28 2.0 is here.

Report: Warner Bros. Discovery blocks Brody King from AEW Dynamite following "F*ck ICE" chants cultaholic.com/posts/report...

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Have you ever tried this one?

One of the great ironies of the mainstream discourse over trans rights is the way the anti-trans side repeatedly gets basic biology wrong. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Canadians please sign this so this Transphobic POS gets recalled and fired.

Just to underscore: Trans people, we aren't "issues". Me, I'm not an "ideology". I'm a human, like anyone else. The only "ideology" here is those bigots who use such rhetoric in their effort to dehumanize trans people — because they want us gone.

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

It's worth noting that this was also a pretext to open up new services designed and run by people who push an unproven pseudoscientific "Gender Exploratory Therapy" model that has been likened to conversion therapy by international experts.

Kristi Noem has to go. Gregory Bovino has to go. Stephen Miller has to go.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Liam Ramos may have escaped the ICE camp, but now his family is in hiding. He’s traumatized. He’s not the same as before. He can’t go to school. He wakes up in the night screaming. He knows DHS is trying to deport him. He knows he’s a target. A 5 year old. Shameful.

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The *only* response to this is all the other governors drop out.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

Abolish ICE and then prosecute everyone who was once employed there.

what a shot

“There are no effects of banning puberty-blockers that are longer-term than death.” 😢

ah i can answer this trick question actually. novels are not a race

Nicki been this way, none of it's recent.

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

One question I have is that if Bard President Leon Botstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, thinks that college rapist boys are similar to Nazis, then why does his school treat them so leniently? www.huffpost.com/entry/bard-c...
