But I need your help to do it. With defending this case on top of running a campaign, your support matters more than ever. katforillinois.com/legal

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

FOLKS. This appears to be the woman referenced and my god does she look young. With Epstein in 1997 and Trump in 1998.

Oh God. Celine Midlefart, who Epstein said he “gave” to Donald, with Trump at Ivanka’s Valentine’s Day birthday party in 1998.

No Nazis in the tent.

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

In 2015 I didn't think I'd one day write the sentence "don't let the President of the United States of America spraying a member of Al-Qaeda with cologne in the Oval Office distract you from how he was part of a massive peadophile ring" but *looks around* HERE WE FUCKING ARE I GUESS!

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Regarding the transgender women in sports “issue” here’s why it’s about transphobia and not fairness🧵 There are two schools of thought on this: 1. Men are in women’s sports. This is a problem. 2. Transgender women do not seem to be disproportionately outcompeting cisgender women. No problem. 1/

You see more trans women in online spaces specifically because we have been forced out of every other venue. We have to build our own networks online where the tools to build a platform are slightly more accessible than the ones held by traditional media gatekeepers.

I remember a line from someone else's post a while back where they mentioned that trans women were functionally "banned from being employed" and yeah, pretty much

Despite evidence to the contrary, the rightwing social contagion brain rot continues.

"They have become friends." As in AFTER Brianna's murder. After. The more I learn about Esther Ghey, the worse it gets. It's just all so dark.

One of the main threads of the anti-trans/“gender critical” crowd is an inability to prove a harm. 🧵 Their entire stance is based around assumptions, hypotheticals and a pre-preschool understanding of gender. Consider puberty blockers: 1/

Thoughts on censorship: Both the left and right favor censorship based on a moral objection. The left favors it to avoid demonstrable harms to individuals based in social exclusion and bigotry. The right favors it to avoid hypothetical harms to society based in eugenics and religion.

We have no water , I’ve been using jugs of water for bathing and cooking. We are low on heat and about almost out of food.,. I’ve been asking for a week now please help so I can get other things covered so we don’t freeze and are without food.

Ever notice how nearly all of these women who revel in hurting transgender women conform to a very narrow interpretation of feminine appearance? I guarantee it’s not just trans women they see as insufficiently feminine.

This is a friend of Mai, someone I try to support in Gaza. Like most folks there they have to deal with intermediaries for fund raising and apparently theirs has unexpectedly gone silent for several weeks. This is their new one. Show some support: steunactie.nl/fundraiser/h...

Well, there goes Five Eyes. I’m sure Russian intelligence will fill the gap nicely /s

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

$88K is $6K/mo. post tax. Rent costs up to 50% of income. Healthcare now costs up to the other 50% At a minimum, they both cost about 70%. Meaning best case, this couple has $1500 a month. Average, not even good, food costs $360/person. $740 left for utilities, phones, fuel…kids? pfft

Very normal ceasefire things

Fun fact for the next time someone says the West invented modern civilization: whilst elsewhere in the world, people were inventing algebra and gunpowder and tea and modern farming, Europeans thought geese were fish that grew on trees. sercblog.si.edu/science-supe...

These are some quite heartbreaking stories and, as Holly Greenberry-Pullen comments in the piece, really illustrates the perverse absurdity of deeming trans teens to young to even get blockers but being fine with intersex kids getting horrifically drastic full-on bodily surgery as *toddlers*.

But you do both think keeping transgender people from thriving and placing them at risk is an acceptable tradeoff for political power.

COULD I PLEASE GET HELP!!!!!! WE NEED WATER AND NOW WE ARE LOW ON HEAT AND FOOD PLEASE

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

For those of you who haven’t been following this fight, Ana has been leading the charge against censorship by corporations, specifically payment processors. Recently it seems someone figured this out and has managed to black list them from almost any way of earning a living as an artist.

Authoritarian governments are not new to this country. If you want to know what comes next should resistance fail, look to the history of Black resistance in the South. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Why they won’t let them into the places. They torture people and make money. This is why @katmabu.bsky.social and others are out there. Please tell other people in your life because it is not being addressed at it must. This has been going on for many years but is getting worse and more normalized.

Bari Weiss, not a journalist, is running one of the most storied news orgs away from the exploration of truth and into the arms of right wing grievance. It is her brand, and now CBS News's brand. She's a right-wing content marketer who doesn't require standards bc she's creating ads for GOP.

More white people shooting People of Color through the door just for being there and lying about it.

This sounds like something The Monarch would say, “The goose is healthy, and has been released! … is there … a lever? Or something? What? What do you mean it’s just running around the cocoon?”

this has to be the single greatest image in the history of sports

This is just the idea of "degenerate art" the fascists push. Terfs are just fascists masquerading as feminists. Read Enemy Feminisms by @reproutopia.bsky.social en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degener...

What’s over due and has been off almost five days now. I’ve been buying jugs of water just to fill our tub and heating it up. It’s a lot of extra work . I’m disabled. I need help getting it turned back on. We are almost out of heat and need groceries but I’m stuck on water. Any help is appreciated!

Voters encouraged to be bitten by black widows as the venom is less deadly than sea snakes, and there are no other viable animals.

Bold move for a guy who is way more identifiable than he seems to believe

Why are we voting for these people again? Theyre definitely not a "lesser evil"

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task. The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

White Afrikaners looking at Trump and saying “don’t associate us with this racist!” That’s quite a legacy.

It's the Magnificent Mile. Miracle Mile is a 1988 apocalyptic thriller in which Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham are incinerated in a helicopter.
