signed this. easy to do. support independent press. support artists. give trans people money. fuck nazis. fuck ICE. free Palestine.

Everything needs to shut down. Democrats need to not fund this oppressive government which is being used by Trump to oppress Americans. National Strike. Boycotts. This country, especially Trump and his billionaire friends, worships money. Green trumps the color White. Gotta shut it down.

The scene at Broadview today is calm, no sights of federal agents other than the occasional car going in the front gate. A UHaul truck was backed into the side garage earlier. About a dozen protesters are holding signs, dancing to Mexican music and yelling “shame” when agents enter/exit.

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

I will never vote for a pro-life candidate and that is a promise. fuck you

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

This is staggering. Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

For those who missed it, here's my obituary for Charlie Kirk, a man who made the world worse every day he drew breath. www.patreon.com/posts/on-vio...

There are over a 1000 copies of Love in a F*cked-Up World available for people inside prisons and jails! Request a book for someone through this link: airtable.com/app87WhX08mp... Prisoners can request a book by writing to: 1977 Books 1468 Woodley Road Montgomery, Alabama 36106

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

I dig this review from @mashable.com. We open in theaters on 9/19 and digitally on 9/23!

On holding multiple truths: Miller says the administration will use Kirk's death to dismantle leftist orgs, and people are being targeted professionally. The people who said this would be used against folks were right. AND there were also already plans to dismantle leftist orgs (see Project Esther).

this is sickening. fuck these fucking fuckers!

Meant to share this link to help Gretchen and the lost revenue from losing her book.

I've heard from many trans people who had to wait out their bans. No one should be banned for "rest in piss" in the first place. Can't you just admit you fucked up and need to fix things? Instead of saying "well if we accidentally burn your house down, that's what fire extinguishers are for!"

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin. The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

Just a reminder that the p*lice are defunding YOU

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Meanwhile…

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

See the other thing about working for the New York Times is that means not having a real editor who will say “are you sure you wanna do that?” And actually, editors are good Anyway, Ezra Klein now on record saying one of the 21st century’s most ardent white supremacists did politics the right way

on a practical note, gretchen is now out about $1400 a month (DC’s opening page rate is still $70 for writers, yeah?) so please go buy her books (MANHUNT, CUCKOO, and BLACK FLAME) and—very important!—leave short, *glowing* reviews about them online to help with the algorithm

The expectation, from the complicit mainstream media, that every single person on social media hold themselves to a HIGHER standard of respect than the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will never cease to amaze me.

Okay, get this: a supreme court lawyer, a pulitzer-prize winning critic, and some chick obsessed with lumberjacks walk into a bar...

what would it look like strategically if Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan resigned? its not like it will change any outcome from SCOTUS' cases. and might light a fire under the do nothing democratic party?

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

Release “onlinegirlie!!!” The public (me) demands it!

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Illinois' law is clear: No ICE detention centers in our state. And if it's used to detain people, it's a detention center. That's why Broadview must be shut down. www.nbcchicago.com/news/politic...

@ekkoastral.bsky.social in Chicago tonight at the Saltshed! So good! Be sure to see them when they come to town! Queer trans magic! Fuck ICE!

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Friends, I’ve missed sharing our fellow Earthlings with you, and happy to share that I have a new podcast coming out called This Is Wild! All about the amazing creatures we share our planet with and how we are protecting them! 🐼✊🏽💗https://youtu.be/EsOrlNaCfc8?feature=shared

woah (the matrix on 35mm!)

Been thinking a lot about Fort Sheridan, north of Chicago. It was built on land donated by Chicago's wealthy elite to have a nearby army base so troops would be around to break strikes and respond to labor unrest. Sheridan Road existed in large part to transport troops to Chicago's south side.

I did my best to push back on my book being "trans memoir" as it's about many things, but most of all how my life was formed by labour. I got my first job @ 13. I was a journeyman Glazier @ 21. I wasn't a writer (or a trans) until my 30s. Celebrate Labour Day by reading about labour 🔗: is.gd/E42lih

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
