Hi all- a friend has a family looking for a missing minor. This is in the Monterey Park, CA area (San Gabriel Valley). Please boost. Thank you!

Good lord police you're looking for someone who robbed an art museum the guy is RIGHT THERE

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead. If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them. Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In a world where most politicians won't mention trans people except to throw us under the bus, this ad from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is honestly such a breath of fresh air. youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg?...

I'm seeing a lot of misinformation floating around about pro bono, sliding scale, and legal aid lawyers, so let's dispel some. (This is for the United States only). First, there is this pernicious myth that we're all rich, or we operate on contingency. Neither is true.

Look, I get it. You're a good person, so Harry Potter can't be unethical to support because you're a good person and good people don't do unethical things. Taylor Swift's lyrics can't be racist because you're a good person and you like her music and good people don't like racist lyrics.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

Absolutely amazing.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Wait Link got banned? Fuck that. UNBAN LINK NOW @moderation.bsky.app.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Hi Aaron, a thread. The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing. I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg raised her fist as she and about 160 other Global Sumud Flotilla participants arrived in Greece to roaring cheers. Crowds welcomed them after their release from illegal Israeli detention. Greta later addressed supporters — her remarks are below.

I’m posting about this a lot, but if you are in the Madison Wisconsin area, my debut live show is this Wednesday night! I’ll be going on about 845 with a 30 minute set, so easy for a school night! gammaray.bar/show/rock-st...

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.

This is the image and the alt text that got Link permabanned from Bluesky servers

What if we all just post the word Link over and over again repost it and like then until even the normies are bothered?

fix it.

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

wizard frog is insane

I am just so fucking proud of her.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

There I'd something unbelievably dystopian about an unironic demand to love a state in lieu of your fellow human beings. A STATE IS A LEGAL FICTION. A STATE CANNOT BE LOVED. This is Zionism.

*sigh* Bluesky is Blueskying again. Here's that link again, this time visible to everyone. Trans people's experiences are not adult content, mods. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Absolutely amazing article about the dangers of LLMs and what we can do about them.

a cis womans husband cheats on her with a trans woman, so she divorces him. their prenup was pretty strict on infidelity, too, so she absolutely cleans him out months after the dust settles, she runs into the trans woman at the grocery store. the trans womans eyes burn with anger,

Everything that makes us is more than a genetic map. Each of us is born with somewhere between 40 and 80 mutations that our parents don’t have. You know what that means? We’re all wildflowers. There is no simple or single definition for either a biological F or M.

People are going to die because of this.

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Forgot the bar I took a date to last night was doing karaoke that night and after my date found out I do the Kermit voice she wanted to hear me do Rainbow Connection. So even though my throat’s been so bad I did my best

“The Mamdani administration will allocate $20 million per year to ensure that every school can have an Open Street. This money will support additional programming, operational support, and maintenance to ensure each child has access to clean, safe, and fun space—every day.”

This has got to me a bit today so here we go. No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators. 1/26

This is the US government using children as hostages to detain immigrants.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

What Alabama did here is entirely reminiscent of what they did to civil rights attorneys in the 1950's. It's history rhyming. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No, @npr.org and @sethmoulton.bsky.social, trans people fighting for our rights are not the left wing equivalent of MAGA right wingers spewing death threats. Signed, A trans woman still getting death threats from Kirk fans

Republicans: "transgenderism must be eradicated." Trans people: "they're trying to eradicate us." Republicans: "Saying we want to eradicate you is violent extremism."
