I’m on the rez right now and you will not be shocked to hear that 90% of the workforce at Bureau of Indian Affairs here are affected by Trump’s reclassification EA from last week. BIA is already barely functioning, just more obscene treatment of Indigenous treaties.

A bike planner died on his community’s streets, and I wish that this was a unifying moment for the transpo practitioner community to come together to demand networks of all-ages facilities for people on bikes. Not ITS or robocars or bulbouts. All-ages bike facilities. RIP Riley O’Neil.

If you knock on my door for a prep school ex-mercenary woman hater, I will break out a book and read to you exactly what the SS did to shtetl after shtetl while wearing a totenkopf that was a fraction of the size Platner had tattooed on his chest until he was outed as having one. Then I will scream.

The parents of LaGuardia High School student Oliver, 17, are raising the alarm after getting a surprise call from Mount Sinai on Thursday informing them that the hospital would be handing over trans children's medical records—including their son's—to the Trump administration.

Questlove did another Black music thing we can enjoy

A cool thread on large increases in public transit ridership across the country, including a Kansas City streetcar!

Madison, WI: The Slipper Club off Capitol square. They put on a weekly queer cabaret in the space of a walk in closet, the doorman let me in free because I had an HRC sticker before HRC was mainstream and throwing trans people under the bus. Then we’d all head over to Genna’s, Shamrock, or Paradise.

Just got a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s for the last time, their drive thrus are now totally AI robot run. Fine print says they record your face and voice and do whatever they want with them. Along with this awful treatment of consumers, they jacked up the prices of everything significantly.

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

I think this means dem maps need to be replaced with not just gerrymandered maps to pick up new seats, but written in a way that does not mention race whatsoever because protecting people (their vote, education, employment, etc) due to their minority racial status is or will be illegal now.

Just so we’re all crystal clear, the Supreme Court says they’ve gutted the voting rights act and used the fifteenth amendment to justify it; what they’ve really done is to rewrite the fifteenth amendment, designed to protect non-white citizens’ voting rights, as a White Power amendment.

In other white patriarchal supremacy news, DV is up, and support services are down while pregnancy can be forced on many more people by their abusers.

The powerful no longer hide that they prefer white patriarchal supremacy enabled corruption. There are so many Black women who have been fired in retaliation for pointing out the racism of their workplaces/industries. It took a long time, but Karen being allowed in a union protected her.

just re-upping. Newark and New Jersey governance are explicitly aiming to ease ICE operations at Delaney Hall. the dozens arrested and injured amid the protests outside are being depicted as “agitators.” this mimics what we’ve seen in many other Dem-run areas with anti-ICE protest/direct action.

After her viral Jezebel interview in 2016, @rhavote.bsky.social became an advocate, eventually founding @patientforward.bsky.social with her husband, Garin. In this op-ed, she reflects on learning from mistakes, and how storytelling has shifted the cultural conversation about later abortion.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

A program that gave women in Flint, Michigan, money during pregnancy and after childbirth significantly improved their health and that of their newborns, according to a new study published Wednesday.

NEW: DOJ's fight against trans medical care in prison is a fight to erase trans people in the law. "The pendulum has swung," DOJ's Jared Littman said in a court hearing Wednesday, arguing that all transgender people — at all ages — can be denied needed medical care. Today, at Law Dork:

An explanation of how the latest official WH post, while being whatever to most people, is entirely a racist signal. The white male memelosers behind these are gleefully finding ways to continue the tradition of their ancestors’ cross burning in new spaces.

It was never just abortion, they wanted the US to remove Roe so they could normalize forcing pregnancy on people and getting them out of power. The ability to have abortion and gender affirming care, real autonomy in other words, is essential for all other rights.

the Trump admin has already bullied some hospitals into ending gender-affirming care for minors, even in states where there's no ban on the books. and they are not content to stop there: now they want patients' records and providers' files and are turning to one federal judge to get them. my story:

The Feds just lost big in Chicago, following its other unprecedented string of court losses, so much so that they are begging the judge not to sanction them, which the judge appears to hint will come.

About once a week I think about Megan Ellison sitting in her office thinking she will avoid the wrath her dad and brother have created because she has the media production company in the family that’s ‘indie’.

Less than a decade ago

A woman awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn Friday night gave birth in the courtroom, her hands cuffed behind her back throughout. A lawyer who witnessed the whole thing told Hell Gate it was a scene of "complete violence."

NEW: The FBI wants to buy access to automated license plate readers (ALPRs) nationwide, which would likely allow the agency to track the movements of vehicles—and by extension people—across the country without a warrant, according to FBI procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

I’m not gonna do the racial demographics on this post but Sharice Davids popped out. Indigenous people are way overrepresented in jails, she must know this. An Indigenous bail fund should exist without this new pathway for federal govt, which hates bail and loves jail, to shut them down.

Two police officers from Gratis, Ohio, an all-white town per the US census, showed up at a majority Latinx public school in Cincinnati—50 miles away—to search for kids for ICE, disguised as a “wellness check.”

SCOTUS stay in the mifepristone case- Justice Thomas and Alito dissent. Thomas: the 1873 Comstock act bans mailing mifepristone (basically reviving a nationwide ban on mailing items used in abortions) Alito: medication abortion undermines our decision in Dobbs www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.

The Payback is out in paperback today, it’s the same great student loan industry heist novel in a smaller size and lower price. www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pa...

Most people don’t know this, but Lincoln’s “house divided” line came at the beginning of a speech where he outlined the conspiracy of slaveholders to contort the politics of the nation to their whims despite being a significant political and popular minority.

The klan descendants are simply making shit up knowing chief bigot john roberts will find a way

The Trump administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 kids in seven months. We analyzed ICE records from January-August 2025 and found thousands of parents in the data. Families that have been broken up by the administration's mass deportation machine

SCOTUS and Trump successfully conspired to save the GOP from voters at the last minute. Slow legal efforts by blue states clearly aren’t going to save the country from sliding into true Jim Crow authoritarianism. White people have a big problem that POC can no longer fix for them at the voting box.

BIG SCOOP: Energy industry reps tell me the Trump administration is now extrajudicially blocking all new wind projects in the United States Apparently the Pentagon is refusing to sign off on once routine FAA airspace clearances even when military assets aren’t around My latest for @heatmap.news

For @ms.now, I wrote about the Trump administration going after Smith College, a New England women's college, over allowing trans women to attend the school. The investigation not only threatens the school, but also the surrounding town, which I live in. www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

WSJ platforming anti-choice lies. There’s nothing this country can do about abusive men existing or them being #1 killer of pregnant women, but this liberating pill you have that keeps you safe? We have to pull it because the state is the proper abuser of your body. Your abusers can stick with guns.

Criminalizing tools that we can use to escape techno fascism is starting. It will start with the youth, they are always testing grounds for limits on freedom, but watch this pop up in states where they want to ban sharing certain information like where to get an abortion or gender affirming care.

‘There you are, all strung out, and all you got is your little self. And what is that? What are you without racism? Are you any good? You still strong? You still smart? You still like yourself? White people have a very very serious problem.’

#BREAKING: Justice Alito, acting as Circuit Justice, has just issued administrative stays of the Fifth Circuit's Friday ruling in the mifepristone case (so he's temporarily restored full access to mife). The stay will expire, absent further a order from Alito or #SCOTUS, at 5 p.m. ET on May 11.

There are also community networks that provide people with abortion pills outside the medical system. They will likely still be able to supply mifepristone + misoprostol, because they're distributing pills imported from overseas.
