What if we had a word for the specific form of violence, exclusion, and dehumanisation directed at trans women... hmm... makes you think

I am at this point convinced that Gavin Newsome exists to Funnel centrist democrats further to the right. That's the only way I can make sense of his podcast episode with Ben Shapiro.

The world feels too heavy lately. #monoprint Acrylic on paper. #art #printmaking #figuratively #grief

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A big problem with the current situation in America is that the authorities that are creating the situation are in doing so creating a situation where if they lose power and back down, they might end up having to face consequences they're unwilling to accept From that point there is only escalation

cold-blooded murder by the state.

telling the queer, jewish, communist, and other minority communities in 1930s germany that the problem in the country is they’ve forgotten how to talk to one another

In hiding... in the United States. Families are in hiding in the United States. Government gangs are forcing families into hiding in the United States of America.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

Washington and 11 other states’ attorneys general have sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for what the multistate coalition argues is unlawful discrimination against transgender people via new strictures placed on federal grant funding. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/14/r...

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Social media is only bearable when you just block reactionaries. I try to call out reactionary ideas about trans people and drooling morons come to my comments to prove to me that they are genuinely not intelligent enough to have the conversation they're trying to start with me.

The first edition of Radio Free America is out! It's about how the Republican Party is so much more extreme than you thought, down to the lowest level. They want to bring back segregation radio-free-america.beehiiv.com/p/they-re-so...

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

Got encouraged to do one of these lol #Portfolioday #paleoart I love pretty scenery and accurately depicting animals in their enviroments!!! :P

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.

If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.

New #portfolioday post, I'm a palaeontology student (about to start 4th year) and do various detailed illustrations of animals (both extinct and living), landscapes, and technical illustration. Contact for commissions is [email protected]

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

as a white transmasc person who grew up in the south, presenting as an alternative/queer girl, there’s something intimately familiar to the rhetoric around Good’s death. This piece captures it well. Conservative white men believe they’re entitled to possess and dominate white women

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

This is why our defense of people who face violence from the government can never be "they weren't political" or "they were minding their own business". Renee was part of a community that opposed the mass deportations, and THAT IS A GOOD THING. It's RIGHTEOUS to oppose this government and impede it.

“Patriotism is more than bald eagle, flag, and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country, every single one of them.” - Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social Congress must use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to rein in ICE and get #ICEOutForGood.

Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest. They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1

I am not sharing a lot of out of state reporting on this moment, I am sharing this. “We can’t ignore the outright misogyny and homophobia baked into this incident—and yes, erasing Good’s wife from the story of her life and death is also misogyny and homophobia.”

Hey man, I'm as woke as woke gets, but (the most reactionary shit you've ever heard).

I’m so sick of the big tent meaning we need to cater to whatever bigotry claims to vote blue. Fuck that. I want democrats who believe in something, and when I tell them to moderate they tell me to fix my heart or die. We need to stop throwing people to the wolves if we want to be a society.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

This should be the baseline energy from every Democrat. This should be the least angry they ever get to be. This should be the nicest language they ever use in reference to Republicans. If you can't do *at least* this, retire or get yourself retired.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

white people desperately trying to protect policing as they notice the rising consensus for abolishing ICE

Meanwhile the Minnesota FOP literally released a statement saying "We stand arm in arm with ICE" Local PD don't give a single fuck about regular citizens.

@the-red-lizard.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/famr... please my friend , share , Help my kids as much as you can 🙏

now that magfest is over, i guess its time to go back to being a sad girl now that the Horrors are back on my mind what with the murderous presence of ICE in this country. justice for Renee Good and Keith Porter. please stay safe out there 💔

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad. This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Absolutely correct: “If our authorities exist for the protection of the people, then the laws should exist for the protection of the people, not the protection of authorities. If the law exists for the protection of authorities, then the authorities do not exist for the protection of the people.”
