@hickenlooper.senate.gov If you want my support for you as Governor, you need to come out hard and loud against this, right now: www.newsweek.com/ice-rappel-b... America is under siege. A Governor who won't fight against this would be just a Nazi stooge.

Anyone who wants to be an apologist for Kirk should be asked to watch this. youtu.be/Y6MShHqqZrw?...

Bennet is a coward and a weasel. If there is no effort to control pricing and corporate investment into private housing, our housing prices will continue to skyrocket. ground.news/article/mich...

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

I'm really only sticking around for my cat. After he's gone, I'm really not sure what's left.

If you're more upset about the response to Kirk's murder than you were about the response to Hortman's... Ask yourself why. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If Kirk's call the murder LGBTQ people (referencing Leviticus) is just legitimate debate, then so is shooting him in the neck. You really don't get to have it both ways. I do not advocate shooting people. Or stoning people. But they are equivalent. To say otherwise is bullshit.

One issue over Kirk was that for LGBTQ ppl, he was a terrorist inciting hate & violence. For cis straight politicos/journos he was a ‘polite’ debater. That ‘debate’ is whether LGBTQ ppl have the right to exist. Such a debate is ‘fascism’ & was resolved at the Nuremberg Trials.

I have had three separate conversations in three separate contexts today about how nice it would be if trans people weren't being aggressively targeted by forces in power so that we were free to have defining characteristics beyond "trans."

Music has really been helping me lately. Mostly by playing tunes. Tonight was all about listening to Marla Fibish, Rebecca Richman and Lewis Santer having a blast playing tunes together. Music used to be very visceral for me. Tonight was the first time in a long time that I could really feel it.

He hated me as a Jew. He hated me as a trans person. He hated me as a child of the 2010s growing up under the perpetual fear of mass shootings. His rhetoric called for violence against me and my communities, and the communities of the people I care about. I won't pretend otherwise.

Concern about political violence goes one way with MAGA. The people outraged over the Cracker Barrel logo do not share that outrage over anyone harmed if they are perceived as liberals or progressives. Rightwing killers are marketed as the radical left. Newtown called a hoax. Just be aware.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

the thing about incarcerated trans people is that virtually no one will stand up for them & that’s fucking horrific because i literally cannot think of a worse place to be a trans person in america than prison. if you’re cis you should read this. trans people, keep on scrolling; you already know.

Now *this* is how you celebrate Labor Day.

There are a lot of writers I enjoy. There are a few I like pretty much everything I read by them. But so far as I can remember, @tkingfisher.com is the only writer that I have a strong, emotional rollercoaster every time I pick up one of their books. House With Good Bones is a wild, amazing ride.

Have you ever heard of #Spicomellus? It’s one of the world’s strangest dinosaurs. Its rib bone has spikes fused to it - something unheard of in any other animal! But now, more of the skeleton has been uncovered - and it's even stranger than anyone imagined... (1/4) 🧵

To paraphrase William Gibson @greatdismal.bsky.social, the apocalypse is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

I wouldn't have believed this, if I hadn't read the report myself. This IS NOT GOOD. www.austinchronicle.com/news/2025-07...

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

Okay... so someone tell me why this is a bad idea: Tax the bejeesus out of investment properties! And yes, I know that we'll need to give real thought to what is a on old couple's single property retirement investment and what is another Bezos/Patel style nightmare.

Well. Isn't that a thing. Not that I can afford WorldCon... But I'm not sure I would if I could. Having a discussion about sapphic versus non-sapphic romance might be fun. Especially if the panel were mostly women... But this? I feel gross even reading it.

If this ain't divine justice, I don't know what is.

I just finished reading Out of the Drowning Deep by @acwise.bsky.social. What a wild ride. And I do love the question of, what would faith mean when the gods have shown themselves to be real. I wonder if she'd let me do the audiobook for it... 🤔

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this: One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.” Another, told it would cost lives, said: “We’re all gonna die anyway.” And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.

Switzerland is such a great metaphor for modern political "neutrality", staying neutral to profit off blood and murder. There is no nobility in the kind of neutrality that stands at the plate glass window and watches someone be beaten and then invites everyone in for tea. #resist

It doesn't take much thought to KNOW that this was true.

Big news: Mike Lee's disgraceful land grab provision has been removed from the Senate budget bill (for now). But Lee has vowed to continue efforts to liquidate our public lands so billionaires can build private playgrounds & lock the rest of us out. We'll fight him every step of the way.

I keep hearing from highly educated friends, including Ivy League attorneys, that I’m overreacting to the authoritarian onslaught of this era; I would ask them what they think they know that she does not

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

"The experiment of physician directed healthcare in this country over 50 to 70 years didn't work. It didn't work." -Philip Capp, MD, Optum Oregon This here's some toxic shit. There's billionaires, and then there's *this* sick shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAqk...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Trump is building a literal ICE prison surrounded by alligators and pythons Florida’s AG James Uthmeier bragged about it like it’s a damn theme park The military is involved. And the Everglades? Getting wrecked. This is fascism meets Florida Man www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w...

I remember watching breathlessly as SpaceX worked through it's early launches. They were spunky rebels who managed a successful launch with only six failures.

@schumer.senate.gov Hey, Chuck! If Human rights don't matter, then why did anyone vote for you? Trans rights are human rights, Chuck. #chuckchuck

Hard to argue with that.

THIS IS A POLICE STATE: Adrian Andrew Martinez. Say his full name. He defended someone from ICE harassment. So CBP jumped him like a gang in a public lot. No lawyer. No phone call. No fucking trace. They kidnapped a U.S. citizen. Keep filming. This system needs witnesses.

Recently we revealed how neoliberal ideologues, servants of the super‐rich oligarchs, have wrecked our world and lives for decades. Professor Richard J. Murphy—economic and accountancy expert—speaks up. Whether you choose his fix or demand even more, #WealthTax and #Limitarianism are our best shot.

I'm a sucker for interesting design. The beer is tasty as well.

Coming to terms with being openly queer has been interesting. In some ways I feel very much like a fraud because I didn't have to go through the years of punishment that folks who came out when they were younger did.

This is so funny. I nearly peed myself.

We feed you. They hunt us.

May all the gods of weather, fury and fire lend their aid to stopping tomorrow's travesty.

This makes sense.
