I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to sign a pledge and agree to report only approved and officially released information.

🚨 NEW STORY 🚨 In response to a ban on HRT for trans adults, Trans Income Project launched a 1st in the US initiative, and will pay for HRT for low income Medicaid enrolled trans Louisianans. I had the honor of interviewing the director of TIP! antigravitymagazine.com/feature/find...

You can "honor" Kirk's memory by doing the thing he'd hate and donating to an organization that wants to help low-income trans adults receive gender affirming care: www.transincomeproject.org/donate (also read my interview with TIPs executive director in the original post)

In building a 68-mile tunnel under Las Vegas, Elon Musk’s Boring Company skirted building, environmental and labor regulations, according to records obtained by ProPublica and City Cast Las Vegas. (Published Jan. 2025)

Doctors. 25% of American doctors are foreign born and they're vastly overrepresented in rural hospitals that don't have the budget to pay this. But not just them. Knocking 1 out of every 4 doctors out of contention for positions in our hospitals is a death sentence.

This was the absolute norm for any US politician until, well, Trump. Even Mike Pence said it when he was booed at a staging of Hamilton just after they won in 2016.

Guys they're onto trantifa but they don't know about the trantifada

It's no wonder people are feeling anxious and concerned. When the President and his party openly vow to dismantle voting rights and punish enemies, that’s authoritarian rule. Find out how to fight back: 10stepscampaign.org

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

If you're more technically inclined and desire similar durability but with more privacy potential, MESH is a thing. You can basically create your own off-grid, brick cell phone. Way more involved than a ham radio, but the added capabilities are worth it if you're linked to others w/capacity.

This is some insane closing-the-borders shit. Microsoft just asked all foreign staff to return to the US by tomorrow. economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/work/mic...

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

The USG is *already* arming and supporting literal genocide in Gaza, they were build upon native genocide, the enslavement of African people, the violent erasure of other genders, They're doing what they've always done. So we continue to build solidarities, to resist the matrix of domination

To my trans siblings: don't panic. It is not true that this means they are *immediately* preparing to round up all trans people. But the USG has *already* incarcerated millions of Black and Brown ppl, they are *already* rounding up thousands of undocumented people (and have been for decades)

You don't get it. While true they're not moving to immediately classify all trans people as terrorists, they're continuing to lay groundwork that would in fact enable them to come for many of us based on expressions of support for trans rights, being in solidarity w trans community, self defense

lol in case folks haven't noticed, every political and economic attack in this country is perfected on minorities FIRST and then scaled. 🤷🏿‍♀️

TODAY, I AM OFFICIALLY AN AUTHOR!!! A CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE!!!!! #TheDoubleTax is the first book I've ever written and it’s OUT EVERYWHERE TODAY. Four years. 100s of stories. Countless drafts. I woke up today as a FIRST TIME author. WOW. Get your copy TODAY: annagifty.com #booksky #blacksky

Against the horrible edifice of ecocidal white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy, ableism and eugenics, capitalism and settlers colonialism, Trans folk of all kinds need to build community, solidarity, and struggle together with everyone who is targeted by these systems, towards liberatory futures

They want to make it illegal to say that opposing trans rights is harmful to trans people

do not despair but do not stagnate

Of course, since we're spelling things out, undocumented trans ppl, Black trans ppl, Latine trans ppl, Palestinian trans ppl and the many anti-Zionist trans ppl, trans sex workers, will all be at much, much higher levels of risk from this terrorist designation

One horror of this world has always been the way the violence of criminalization, white supremacy and poverty was invisible to everyone who benefited from its structures. But survival and resistance strategies abound.

So many people I share spaces and/or identities with really believed they would never be criminalized and are experiencing the horror of the looming system for the first time and yes, it fucking sucks, your response is understandable. But think about how many ppl u know have always lived with this

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to stand up for trans rights: bsky.app/profile/auts...

White trans folk will still be at far less risk than the rest of us trans folk and they should say that

Trans rights are human rights.

yeah. it's the new "gang affiliation" enhancement

This is NOT the take. I did actually read the article, and while true that they are not immediately classifying all trans people as terrorists, they absolutely are laying legal groundwork to systematically come after trans people. 1/x

PLAY YMCA!

In fact arguably if you know enough to be trying to indemnify yourself, that’s an aggravating factor in your culpability.

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

I find it fascinating that the Department of Justice recently deleted this and now the FBI is pulling this absolute lunacy. Real convenient timing, US government. Just keep giving MAGA more lies to run with. web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Lol this was supposed to... Be a dunk on me? I guess? I said what I said

Truly this is an abominable fucking thing to post in response to trans folks being scared because we are being targeted Show what you wrote to a family member or friend who can call your ass in Take a break from the internet Acting cruel and smug while we are persecuted is disgusting.

There is no reason to cooperate with a increasingly unpopular and authoritarian president.

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine. The chair broke the tie by voting NO. Prescriptions will NOT be required.

In Alabama, a trans civil rights lawyer is facing criminal charges; three civil rights lawyers are fighting sanctions. I spoke to @chrisgeidner.bsky.social about how federal judges came after a team of civil rights lawyers who challenged a transgender care ban www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

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-...

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him. We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum must #FreeBenAndJerrys See Jerry’s full message at freebenandjerrys.com and be part of the campaign.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys
