Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Waymo leaves LA like elves leaving Middle Earth 🌅

Zohran is up. Keep going.

Via Dropsite News: Israel just allegedly got completely pwned by the Iranians. They supposedly leaked everything, mossad files, nuclear secrets, details on bribes, Netanyahu's personal files. If this is true, this is a historical failure of Israeli intelligence of epic proportions.

“This is very much connected to the rise of authoritarianism that we’ve seen across the country,” said the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. “They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.”

The Trump HHS' new Cass-USA report against trans youth dropped today, citing - of course - several Jesse Singal blogs and The Atlantic articles. Shockingly, one of them features this notorious birdbrain: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... archive.ph/iUlo0 opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

RFK Jr. is launching a government registry to track autistic Americans using private medical records.

1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

HIV activists sent an unmissable message.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Sex work is anthropologically indicated to be literally the foundation of all commerce, barter or trade. Chimpanzees do sex work in the wild. The last common ancestor between humans and chimps, who likely exhibited this behavior as well, is estimated to have existed at least 5 million years ago.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Pay attention to this: Elon Musk is now trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why aren’t more Democrats talking about this??

The VA has ceased all gender affirming care for trans veterans. This is a campaign of eradication. www.advocate.com/news/va-stop...

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

I hope y’all realize that after Trump causes this recession, all HIS buddies are gonna buy up the small businesses HE destroyed— with the new money he just handed them in tax cuts. Trump made them richer, and they’re gonna use that money to make themselves even richer. The Great American SCAM!

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action.

1. Reports this week revealed that DHS has rescinded guidance banning surveillance based on someone's gender identity or sexual orientation. We have confirmed those reports. The latest from S. Baum, who goes over steps you can take to protect yourself. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW: Fully leaked diplomatic cable directing the implementation of this policy at all US diplomatic and consular posts.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

I am so glad the Mexican President isn’t taking Donald Trump’s shit. 💙

I just updated this article. Keep resisting. Keep calling your Senators and Representative. "The next four years is going to be rough for the average American, but there are things you can do to help." racebannon.medium.com/citizen-powe...

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

End-to-end encryption by default means “if you show up with a warrant or a subpoena (to Signal), they have almost nothing about you that they can hand over,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @cnn.com.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Bearface you say?

Like most collapses, it goes slowly at first and then all at once. The warning signs are usually there and people decide if they want to listen to them or not. Usually they don't, because it's not convenient.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

For those saying its a trap. Read 50501 Reddit thread and the @50501movement.bsky.social on Bluesky They just partnered with www.pol-rev.com/(Political Revolution)

Anyone telling you that Democrats in Congress can't do anything to fight back against Trump because they're in the minority is one (or all!) of these things: a. Lying to you b. Wrong c. A Democrat in Congress So, I'll add to the voices of former congressional staffers to set the record straight.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...
