NWSA Presidential Session "55 Years Later: Honoring the Transgressive and Worldmaking Legacy of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson's STAR" Friday, November 14th, 2025 at 1:00pm With @roqueraquel.bsky.social, Dr. Julian Kevon Kamilah Glover, @larrylafountain.bsky.social and @mtheleon.bsky.social

I've been super proud to work with a bunch of talented authors including @judedoyle.bsky.social and @taliabhatt.itch.io on this package over the past couple months — it's six great stories about the weird, scary moment both the internet and trans people are in

El Senado se dispone a votar en la sesión de mañana, por descargue, y sin vistas públicas, por un proyecto de Thomas Rivera Schatz que limita el acceso a la información pública www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/leg...

“Bad Bunny is more American than the first lady!” “Here’s what Chuck Schumer can learn from Bad Bunny!” “Puerto Rico is the U.S!” My kingdom for liberals to stop using Puerto Ricans as a rhetorical device and actually engage with the uncomfortable fact that we are colonized subjects.

Yesterday; the Puerto Rican government officially banned plan Vital (the equivalent of Medicaid, for PR) from covering gender affirming care for patients of ANY age. Instead of focusing on our unreliable power grids or cost of living, they go after the trans community. This will hurt people.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Extremely good news: Boston Children's Hospital fought back and won against an attempted subpoena targeting trans kids & their medical providers. Protect Trans kids! www.erininthemorning.com/p/boston-chi...

I'm telling all of you that they are going to do what they ALWAYS do. What you do or do not say has no impact on what THEY WILL DO AND SAY. [just going to leave that here]

ugh Apparently there was an issue with payments for my apartment maintenance fees and they didn’t post the last 2 months. So just NOW I learn they’re threatening to shut off my power/water if I don’t pay $611 by 9/23. This is fucking ridiculous man. If anyone can help please ko-fi.com/rathousePR

JGO lleva desde hace rato fantasiando con revivir Roosevelt Roads, y sabrá dios si quiere revivir la Marina en Vieques y la Base Ramey en Aguadilla. Pero que ella sepa que vamos a montar un motín de tres quintales pa sacarla si se atreve.

Feature prioritization is a fractal microcosm of the sociotechnical struggle between reproducing or reordering interlocking systems of oppression

Puerto Rico experienced one of the longest peacetime deployments of National Guard soldiers for civilian policing in U.S. history during the 1990s. Will any news desks will ask a Puerto Rican about what to expect w/ Trump’s mobilization? It’s pretty obvious what’s coming and what will be achieved.

Acho en verdad no tengo palabras para describir lo lindo es que mi amistad con @crowofparadise.bsky.social 🥹 Gracias por tantos años de amistad y por compartir conmigo anoche!

new silksong trailer is awesome, bummed about the release date news of course but we've been here before, we shall hang in there as always

1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults. It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage. It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US. Subscribe to support our journalism.

And it's not just this. For decades Puerto Ricans have been fear mongered into believing statehood is the right choice. If there's things like carpeteo, the murdering of activists, propaganda, etc., of course people are gonna become silent. Because they were siLENCED.

Conflicted about the 'anti trans laws affect cis people too' discourse. Like... Yes, but also, harming trans people should be enough for you to fight against these laws? I suppose whatever mobilizes people tho... Trans siblings, whatchu think?

Hey everyone I'm so sorry to have to do this but I've been in a very difficult living situation for the past year and I'm trying to move back in with my family so I can be safe. I need about $500 to be able to take the trip back, anything you can offer would be life changing. paypal.me/insortedia

La Red de Género y LGBTIQ+ y la Red de Salud del MVC rechazaron hoy la firma por la gobernadora, Jenniffer González, del Proyecto de la Cámara 350 (PC350), el cual prohíbe las terapias hormonales y las intervenciones de afirmación de género para personas trans menores de 21 años.

what? oh, sorry, just a bit distracted by seeing another heartbreaking, infuriating manifestation of the collective shunning and persecution of trans people every five minutes. but yeah, yeah, i'm fine, how are you?

I'm co-parenting a trans child from Puerto Rico. This news is the stuff of nightmares. We have got to fight back, and hard. www.yahoo.com/news/breakin...

Personally know almost half a dozen people who will be affected by the recent law passed. Hundreds are probably at risk. Wish that more of these voices would've been visibilized by the local puertorican media instead of platforming religious conservative lawmakers. We will survive despite all this.

Puerto Rico has just banned gender affirming care for trans people up to age 21. It is now the ban with the highest age limit in the United States. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

I think that people need to remember that there is nothing permanent except for death [and some people believe even that is not a permanent state]. Stop pretending that just because the fascist decree shit even if that shit is "law" that it's permanent. If we gain power, we can change everything.

Pretty clear that this will be the vehicle SCOTUS will use to deny equal protection to transgender people. While the case will be about sports, that decision would essentially strip all rights on transgender status or sex for trans people. It would make virtually any law permissible.

Happy birthday Gabs, rest in power 😞

Fue un placer coincidir!

Aquí mismo en Puerto Rico, federales arrestaron a cerca de una decena de inmigrantes que fueron a sus citas con la autoridades migratorias como parte de procesos de regularización que en algunos casos empezaron hace años www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/loc...

TW: harm to children. My research into the effects of the UK government puberty-blocker ban has finally been published after peer-review. It details the severe harm being caused to young trans people & children by the Starmer government's puberty-blocker ban. Unlike Cass it is peer reviewed...

Democrats have largely held solid on transgender rights in recent years in terms of actual votes taken. There is a hugely financed movement trying to get them to stop, trying to build pillars to allow them to throw us under the bus. Interviews like this from Sarah McBride are in service to that.

okay, I'll finally stop putting it off and listen to "That's Why God Made the Radio" for the first time and cry today i guess

ENG: HEADS UP FOR ANYONE LIVING IN PUERTO RICO!!!!!! SPA: AVISO PARA TODES QUE ESTEN VIVIENDO EN PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!! ICE has been spotted in 2 of the biggest malls in Puerto Rico as well as in Rio Piedras. Reminder that PR is a US Colony so of course ICE would be here as well. #Borisky #PuertoRico

Treating trans people like we're a third sex and denying us legibility as our genders is bad, actually.

Danielle Harlow and a group of 50+ volunteers have been keeping a database of immigrants detained as part of Trump’s mass deportations campaign. They offer a powerful example of how regular folks are using their skills to oppose the administration. www.thecut.com/article/unit...
