The victim was a 19 year old transgender woman. She was stabbed to death in the laundry room of her student apartment complex. Seattle police just released these pictures of the suspect. If you know who he is, you can call the tip line at 206-233-5000.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

The investigation into Smith College began because Rachel Levine gave the commencement address last year. Smith College has had male commencement speakers before but it's having a trans speaker that caused the Trump admin to go after them. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/04/m...

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement. www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults. All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

Sam Nordquist of Oakdale traveled to New York state in the fall of 2024 to meet the woman of his dreams. But in February 2025, his mother, Linda, reported her son missing. Days later, his body was found. Police said he was physically and sexually assaulted and was also psychologically abused.

Elon Musk and his gang of pimple faced hackers ran wild in the government. According to both whistleblowers, they broke the law, over and over again. Today, we're launching a simple demand: #InvestigateDOGE and hold them accountable 👉 actionnetwork.org/petitions/el...

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

A @propublica.org investigation pinpointed at least 75 people across federal agencies who stood up to protect the integrity of the 2020 election. Today, nearly all of those people are gone, having resigned, been fired, or been reassigned, esp. at DOJ and DHS. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It's obscene the level of which this administration has gone after trans youth to make their lives a living hell. The latest attack on care will completely defund any hospital or clinic that provides care to trans youth. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

Who will find the Golden Ticket? 🎫 This Bookstore Day (April 25), we're partnering with indie bookshops across the US and Canada to giveaway Golden Tickets worth 12 audiobooks each. Why? Because we love indie bookshops and they need our support!

"Bird poop scraped off a man’s car appeared on a drug test as cocaine. A toddler’s ashes registered as methamphetamine or ecstasy." www.cnn.com/2026/04/05/u...

Have we reached the "Hasan Piker will throw you off a roof for being gay!" level of Democratic discourse yet?

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

A hilarious rebuttal to that goofy Politico piece that had an overwrought description of Rahm handling a carryout salad. Rahm isn't a serious candidate even if he thinks he is. Did you know his approval rating as Chicago mayor was in the 20s? Lower than Trump's 35%. defector.com/this-electio...

Gilead has a drug that could prevent HIV with just 2 injections a year. MSF said "we'll buy it name your price." Gilead said no. Let that sink in. Pharmacological innovation without access for those who need it does not accomplish its potential. www.eatg.org/hiv-news/pre...

Next day bump for this thread of simple quick and easy actions you can do - New Yorker or not - to hold Zohran to the promises he made our trans community to earn our votes. If the politician we voted for drops the ball or worse, it is our responsibility to remind them what they owe us.

A must read from Polish writer Wiktoria Wilk: "What is called a 'demographic crisis' and a 'labour shortage' by European institutions and media is exposed as what it really is: women taking back their time and their bodies from a democracy that never really believed it was their own."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Correct. Rep. Jody Barrett (Left) Sen. Mark Pody (Right)

NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

@ethanscorey.bsky.social and I have published a database of congressmembers who received donations from ICE profiteers GEO Group, CoreCivic, and Management and Training Corporation. Look up your reps at @inthesetimes.com + @theappeal.org. inthesetimes.com/article/ice-....

What would you do if your aging boss ignores his customers, rejects the data, and declines to back his own employees who's under an opposition PR blitz, but listens to imaginary voices in his head before making company-wide decisions? That's the dilemma the Democratic Party has with Chuck Schumer.

Prisoners in Minnesota are earning less than a dollar an hour making products for Disney. Slavery is Legal in Minnesota. These Groups are Working to Change That. unicornriot.ninja/2026/slavery...

"Healthcare workers confirm that ICE is abandoning half-naked kidnapping victims in the woods of Minnesota to die. "Individuals have shown up in emergency rooms who require amputations—some with cracked skulls." (1/29/26)" www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/...

Utah lawmakers asked for a review of studies on gender-affirming care's effects on trans youth after passing a "moratorium." Records show they planned on publicly discussing the report — until it concluded the care is largely found to have positive outcomes. Now, they're pushing a permanent ban.

NEW: A bunch of Washington Dems in deep blue districts are legitimatizing right wing craze over age verification obscenity laws that endanger your privacy and free speech just to appease pearl clutchers and make kids sneakier about how they watch porn www.theburnerseattle.com/post/biparti...

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Brett Kavanaugh gives me brainrot

You can’t just talk about how the police should be better. You have to defund the police. You can’t just say that you hope nobody will ever pick up one of the loaded guns you have laying around. You have to get rid of them. Excellent @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

Thanks for doing what you do.
