i lost my mind when i saw that chuck schumer posted about the UAP file release but nothing about the supreme court gutting the voting rights act the same day

The anniversary of the MOVE bombing. America attacking Black people in a city with brutal imperial force.

Trans people in Idaho face an impossible choice: either use a restroom that doesn't align with our gender and endure possible physical and psychological harm, or risk going to prison for using public restrooms as ourselves. No one should have to make that choice. See you in court, Idaho.

Everything about this war, and the threats, is an abomination. The president and his enablers are evil. It must stop.

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

Keep fighting it, everyone.

it’s been kind of a fucking bummer watching people move on from this. mamdani isn’t greg abbott or brad little or the kansas legislature; his whole deal was listening to people and promising to enact equitable & achievable solutions. and when he doesn’t do that, YOU NEED TO CALL IT OUT.

1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary. It disavowed the New York Times reporting. Incredible development for trans youth. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Idaho has passed the most extreme anti-trans law in the nation, a bathroom ban. The second offense would be 5 years in jail, and the 4th offense could lead to life in prison due to Idaho's 3 strikes law. It now heads to Governor Brad Little's desk. Subscribe to support our journalism.

second: there's stuff NYC mayor mamdani could be doing now to backstop care for all the trans teens cut off by the sudden stoppage. in fact, he campaigned on it. afaik, he hasn't even properly addressed it. you can't call NYC a fucking “refuge" if it's institutions don't provide essential care!🧵

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

real, liberals say this all the time to avoid correcting consumer injustice and it is exhausting

This very quickly became one of the most important legal cases in transgender rights

1. The Trump Administration just opened the door for ICE to target anyone suspected of being trans. Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to declare that trans people “misrepresented” themselves during the visa process and revoke their status. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

Congress’ refusal to rein in President Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran endangers the lives of millions and makes a mockery of the Constitution. This fight is not over: Congress can still intervene and stop funding this unconstitutional war.

An investigation from Transitics has discovered something highly alarming: Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been making a list of trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s preparing to revoke trans people’s documents by declaring them “falsified records.” transitics.substack.com/p/indianas-a...

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

This is horrifically cruel. “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.” An excruciating and wholly preventable death. No words are adequate.

Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...

The New York attorney general is finally taking the first steps to hold NYU Langone accountable for their horrific decision to end trans care for minors. Note that California AG Bonta has not sued any hospitals under discrimination laws this way (only one lawsuit under M&A law).

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war. Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

An investigation from Transitics has revealed that, under a Democratic governor, Kansas secretly built a list of the state's trans people. Today, Republicans just weaponized it to revoke their IDs. transitics.substack.com/p/kansas-sec...

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

i know the situation in kansas right now is dangerous and terrifying. that said, i'm hoping to speak to someone who's had their license invalidated. i will do absolutely everything to protect your anonymity and maintain your safety. i can be reached securely via signal at marisakabas.04

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share. Who's with me? (I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

noise pollution causing actual real physical health problems in humans is one of those things that sounds fake but isn’t

1. A ballot initiative that would ban trans youth from bathrooms and sports in Maine is likely to appear on the ballot in November. It is bankrolled by Richard Uihlein, an anti-trans billionaire. It comes after Gov. Mills rejected Trump's anti-trans demands. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it's hard to explain to normies who are not plugged in on this just how thin the theories of anti-trans authorities really are. These people simply cannot believe that the NYT and The Atlantic would both push folks who are so full of shit.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning. For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. The President of the Heritage Foundation took to the influential PBD podcast today to announce his intent when it comes to transgender ADULT care: "You outlaw it." He stated that the foundation is working precisely on a plan to ban all trans adult care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Time for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his campaign promises and ensure care is kept safe for New York trans kids. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

Just in: 50 parents and transgender activists have blockaded the HHS Building in protest of sweeping new rules that could ban trans youth nationwide. 24 were then arrested. This is the kind of action we need. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform. Read the latest from our co-founder Andrea J. Ritchie in @thenation.com!

Transgender bathroom ban bills are now expanding to private businesses. First, Kansas bill creates bathroom bounty hunters that could target trans people in any business. Now, Idaho is hearing a bill today that lets you sue a private business if it lets trans people pee. Our latest story.

just because he isn't literally murdering trans people with a knife doesn't mean he doesn't have blood on his hands. y'all will do anything to defend your right wing faves if they call themselves a Democrat.

Newsom vetoed a bill that would've prevented insurance discrimination against trans people and allowed people to stockpile 6 months of HRT. So yes, not only would he do this, he is actively doing it right now by endangering our access to healthcare in order to protect insurance companies.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

What happens when you risk everything and open up a coffee shop as two trans people? This. ❤️ Thanks for making our first week incredible, Toronto. We love you.

This also extends to other fields. The abundance bros' attitude on housing, "give rich developers even more power so they can build luxury shit 95% of the population can't afford and someday you plebs might benefit," also clearly shows the same attitude towards the poor.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Kansas has passed a bill that would revoke trans people's drivers licenses, forcing them to surrender them for replacements. It also creates trans bounty hunters that can sue trans people for money. It goes to the gov, who will veto, but R's can override. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There's a rot -- a eugenicist, transhumanist, techno-optimist, new-atheist rot -- in elite institutions that connects Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Silicon Valley, CBS, Palantir, and ICE. It sweeps in Epstein, Bannon, Thiel, JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Joe Rogan, and all these other IDW / NeoRX creeps.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
