just saw a photo of lorenzo salgado araujo and read his son's statement. this one hit me hard

Before Salgado Araujo, some of the last people immigration agents killed or caused to die: Keith Porter on Dec 31 in LA Renee Good on Jan 7 in MN Alex Pretti on Jan 24 in MN Dr. Linda Davis on Feb 16 in Georgia Nurul Amin Shah Alam on Feb 24 in Buffalo Daphy Michel on March 2 in Pittsburgh

By my nonscientific count, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is at least the 30th person immigration agents have directly killed or participated in the death of since Trump retook the White House. That's on top of the at least 59 people who have died in Trump's concentration camps since then.

The “it’s in their genes” argument is also used against trans women to imply they have a predator lurking inside. Especially trans women in prison, who are often housed in men’s prisons because of transphobic fears of violence against cis women

There is nothing inherent in cis men’s biology that predisposes us to be predators. And trans men are not more likely to become predators if they take hormones. It’s patriarchy. That’s the problem.

Not here for the “men are predators because it’s in their genes” takes. You’re wrong, and that’s a dangerous opinion

WHITE TRANS JOURNALISM STRIKES AGAIN 🤮🗣️📢 i guess their strategy for dealing with criticism is to cover their tracks and detach quotes from certain accounts but not others

lol evan is taking every single critique extremely personally, and it's clearly not inspiring any introspection on his behalf. even asking for evidence of claims he made and didn't back up in the article puts me "in a place they can't follow".

reacting defensively to criticism from the community you claim to serve makes you an unreliable source of news and analysis. anyone who still thinks he has important things to say has a lot of white supremacy to unpack, to put it incredibly gently.

fuck evan urquhart. that article is fucking disgusting and dishonest. he should be immediately deplatformed. blocking & detaching quote posts from trans ppl critical of your "journalism" should be a huge red flag, and i saw it happen to several others in response to this sad excuse for an article.

not saying survivors have some obligation or duty to speak out. ever. but actively stopping others from doing so is really shitty.

as survivors, it really feels like all we have is each other. & not even always then. plenty of examples of survivors shaming & silencing others to preserve movements, orgs, scenes, etc. if a project that enables abuse crumbles as a result of confronting it then it deserves to fall the fuck apart.

i see that it's a bad day to be a survivor online

Former detainees who spent time with the prominent Gaza doctor before his transfer to solitary confinement describe systematic beatings, dog attacks, and deliberate medical neglect, warning he may not survive. mondoweiss.net/2026/06/if-w...

Going to be bleak for a moment, but for me there is a line between having gone through ABA and what horrors happened to me in adulthood

israel is going to kill Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. They kidnapped him 555 days ago, and the last thing we've heard from him is that they transported him with intention to kill him. They've been torturing him since they kidnapped and imprisoned him.

“Put in another way: antiracism strategically utilizes and seeks to expand, rather than disavows, the blue-pill world foundational concepts of the Human and the Social” (Vargas and Jung 2021). — João Costa Vargas, Blue Pill, Red Pill: The Incommensurable Worlds of Racism and Antiblackness

ICE officials have pushed to double daily arrest numbers in recent days after the White House called for an increase to 2,000 ICE arrests per day. More than 63,000 people are in ICE detention nationwide.

Elyas Abu Safia says his father Hussam can barely breathe or speak after more than 555 days in Israeli prison.

finished distro'ing all 300+ masks yesterday. since these came in smaller boxes of 20, i was able to leave them at community fridges, free little libraries, and those pyramid shaped food share hubs. would drive by a couple days later, see that they were taken, and leave a few more.

All people have stories about someone they knew that was pushed to the edge. Ideology & politics claim actions come from principled belief & values. That choosing to not do something reveals a comfort with the status quo. fuckhope.noblogs.org

Mom stayed on the duckling-inaccessible log for some me time

The merglings eventually gave up the quest to reach Mom and formed a cuddle puddle on a much more accessible log.

Have been homeless. To confirm: - Candy/pop is a small joy. Please hand those out freely! - Fast food sucks, but it's obtainable. Grocery stores boot people for not looking housed. - If you hand out food, make sure it doesn't need hot water to be edible. It's much harder to find than you think!

The US Declaration of Independence frames Indigenous resistance as aggression and colonial violence as self-defense.

this is exactly the issue i have with yt trans ppl rushing to call the anti-trans backlash a genocide. a lot of you refuse to act in unwavering solidarity towards palestinians and other colonized people, and that says a lot about your motivations for gravitating towards that term, imo.

this is from senator scott wiener's website (linked in the article). this is the politician urquhart & other liberal zionists are championing as a valiant defender of trans rights... this screenshot is from today. july 2026. he's STILL peddling the racist and debunked lie about mass rape on Oct 7.

u.s. politicians are never exempt from criticism on how they acted during one of the most visible and undeniable genocidal onslaughts of our lifetimes.

People who talk about class and don’t say anything about race can’t be trusted.

This had a deadline yesterday.... went largely ignored. give Black trans disabled people their FLOWERS 💐 and THEIR NEEDS ⚠️

cis "ally": i will never turn my back on trans people! 🥹 trans ppl: awesome, can you do a bare minimum favor for us that requires literally one click? "ally":

thank you to everyone who reposted & donated :) if you're resentful that i DMed or @'d you specifically, maybe reflect on that. black trans ppl don't exist for you to make them into rhetorical devices or to only be invoked as a group that always has it worse than you.

got blocked by two white trans people with large platforms this week, so you could say i'm winning... (sage deviant blocked me for asking her to boost the gofundme! 😆)
