BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Reminder re: toothbrushes - these people are not violent criminals. They aren't in prison. They've been abducted by the government.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Bernie raised $200 million in the primary, probably would’ve been a lot more in the GE. Money is essential but a good message with less money is better than a mediocre one with more money. Also, smart money backs even ideologically opposed winners for a seat at the table.

I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

the only "honor" Watson's getting from me is that i've built a lab full of outstanding students who are everything he hated: Black, Indigenous, female, trans, queer, neurodivergent, disabled, immigrant, and beyond. he might be what the past of our field looks like- but the future looks like my lab.

virtue signalling is good actually

Schumer sold out queer people to get a CR, then he sold out DC to get a CR, now he’s offering to sell out 24 million ACA recipients for a CR, and doing so to help shield Republicans from dealing with it over the midterms. He’s like an ant-Pelosi, his instincts go the wrong direction every time.

When you start defining woman things go bad quickly. Don't say we didn't warn you! www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

As county governments wrestle with property tax declines, library systems across Wyoming are among casualties. Some libraries have found temporary lifelines through outside donations. Others have reduced services or shuttered. The situation is only expected to worsen ➡️ wyofile.com/cuts-closure...

abundantly clear that the six monsters currently running the Supreme Court do not think trans people are real and want them to go away they know what will happen to someone presenting as the other sex when their passport doesn’t match and they want it to happen their power must be broken

Cornell paid millions to get illegally frozen grants unfrozen, and effectively agreed to help the Trump regime's assault on academic freedom to get bad faith investigations dropped, while also agreeing the govt can launch new investigations! Full text here: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...

BREAKING: Cornell caved. Here is the settlement agreement, signed today by the university's president, Michael Kotlikoff: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...

Not gonna tag, but this is an example of where the Will Stancil theory that propaganda drove everything breaks down. Propaganda is powerful and it can do a lot, but there's something like the rules of thermodynamics in communication. You can't make something from nothing or nothing from something.

As the prophets prophesied:

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

I should really do some sort of holiday fundraising for Assigned Media but I really don't want to.

"Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer a city where everyday residents have to work three jobs and are under constant threat of eviction. Anything short of an excruciating existence for the working class just doesn’t cut it for me."

Teens overwhelmingly used negative words like "biased," "boring," "chaotic," and "bad" to describe the news media and journalists in a new @newslit.org survey. Those doing the hard and important work of teaching media literacy to high schoolers are unsurprised. www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/bias...

Wish the devs would stop fucking up this perfectly good product they accidentally made.

I don't mind the shitty attempt at a rainbow of "bad word filter" type toggles, but having them enabled by default and hidden five menus deep in an option that doesn't even look real is just such a siren as to how these people operate. Let's enjoy bsky for another 6 months, it's approaching the end

This is the evilest thing I think I’ve ever read. A few years ago a woman was sentenced to two and a half years in prison plus probation for doing less than this. It’s not going to happen in Trump’s America but there need to be laws tightening liability on shit like this.

Reminded me of this clip from my podcast

The stories you're hearing about the disgusting conditions of these camps, and the cartoonishly evil cruelty of the guards there, the deaths and consistent theme of dehumanization? That's just the tip of the iceberg.

yeah. i love my job giving free legal services to queer and trans people, but it does make work much more deeply personal than if i’d chosen any other practice area

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

I made choices in my life such that my transness is so closely linked to my professional life there's no real escaping it. While I have no regrets, my hope is to contribute to a world where trans people don't have to think about being trans more than cis people think about being cis.

The more time I spent away from the internet, the more i forget I'm trans

Joyce thinks someone working in the care of the dead and their grieving relatives should centre their GC beliefs rather than the needs of the bereaved for compassion and respect in their darkest days. In advocating for the right to wilfully disrespect the dead she yet again reveals her inhumanity.

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension. It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

The Word is back this morning with two pieces! First, how is the media doing over all on accessibility? Not well, apparently. the-word.news/2025/1107/ad... 1/

The claim that “emissions have come down” in this @nytimes.com @sominisengupta.bsky.social article on where we are ten years post-Paris is FALSE. Global emissions were at an all-time high in 2024. As it stands this claim is misinformation. They need to issue a correction!

Several winners of Cycling UK 100 Women in Cycling prize decline award due to exclusion of trans women 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 road.cc/content/news...

it is very easy to become so consumed with anxiety that a choice is wrong or incomplete or that you aren’t doing enough or that no one cares or or or. it easily leads to an intense drive for a type of purity that completely neutralizes people rather than pushes them forward.

There are SO MANY stories cis-led media is failing to actually properly cover as regards the unrelenting and in general 'just a moral panic' type assault on trans/gnc americans — amidst their otherwise generally terrible but obsessed-with-us coverage ...

How many people ever substantially use their specific degree knowledge in their subsequent jobs? Fairly few Yet we know that having a degree in anything leads to higher earnings *over a lifetime*. I’m not confident AI is being used to maximise whatever it is in education that does that.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

I remember reading "If trans women actually did have an athletic advantage, every country would be shutting up about it and trying to turn us into Olympians". Similarly, "if something actually could induce suicide, every country would be shutting up about it and using it to kill kids"

My Irish ancestors were deliberately starved by England through racist malice whitewashed with a facade of budgetary bean counting. This is no different.

We have to talk more how transphobia has taken strong root among well-to-do journalists & politicians when in both the UK & US, the evidence is that voters do not share it. The demographics of transphobia are people least likely to suffer prejudice in their lives. Richer, maler, whiter, straighter.

“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.” 👉 archive.ph/ivFo2

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

At some point your ability to report the truth fairly has to determine the amount of influence you can have in a free society

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

Purposefully eating a sandwich your braless wife made you (not asked for) at a historical inauguration for unhoused people is a form of transmisogyny

JFC, have you looked at the moderation settings on this app lately? It's a nightmare. Also, why does BlueSky say that moderation services for Brazil, Russia, Turkey, India, and Germany are required in my region, which is Canada?

What’s the problem? We’re just displaying a historical fact that this person is a Jew by forcing them to wear a yellow star.

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

I have a lot of fondness for my past self, who made a lot of mistakes and was pretty consistently miserable and not that fun to be around, but who really tried to be good while playing life on hardcore mode.
