a…journalist spoke to living, breathing trans people…about the policies that affect them. not their distant and estranged families….or someone from APP who’s just presented as a concerned parent…actual transsexuals?

Yup.....

Host: "Miss Abughazaleh, do you support a vote to attack Iran." Kat Abughazaleh: "Absolutely not.... I absolutely support the people fighting for a democracy there, fighting for free speech, but this administration doesn't give a dam about them.

Summers should’ve been kicked the curb when he said: There are “innate differences” between men and women and that might explain the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields. So this is loooong overdue, and frankly allowing him to step down at end of year… is more grace than he deserves

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia. Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.

I cannot say this enough........ FUCK. ICE. youtu.be/Xnru5R9a1xA?...

Nothing about this is legal. The US is quietly deporting Palestinians arrested by #ICE to the occupied West Bank via private jet owned by an Israeli-American property tycoon & friend of President Trump, with two such flights taking place in coordination w the Israel: www.972mag.com/us-secretly-...

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

I am Jack's complete fucking lack of surprise........

2) Join the next Eyes On ICE training on February 5. If you attended Monday's training, recruit two friends to join us next week.

The next No Kings Day is March 28. Save the date, but don’t sit back and wait. Here are a few things you can do right now: 1) Call your senators and demand they rein in ICE. With a crucial Senate vote expected later this week, Democrats must hold the line to block more funding for ICE and CBP.

The No Kings coalition will be running ongoing ICE watch trainings to prepare as many Americans as possible to non-violently protect themselves and their neighbors from an increasingly fascist secret police. Our first Eyes on ICE training brought in over 200,000 people. We hope to train millions.

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

We’re turning up the pressure on the Republicans who are demanding more money for the regime’s secret police. Help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their GOP senators to demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for good.

“Sky and Amanda are the brother and sister-in-law, respectively, of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s international trafficking ring. Ms. Roberts Giuffre was instrumental in bringing Epstein’s crimes to light and inspiring fellow survivors to speak out.”

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

"That’s right: the best idea that the big brains at OpenAI could cook up is yet another 'household gadget that talks to you' — without a single clear differentiating feature from the phone you already have in your pocket, which can already run every major chatbot."

Now we see if he is above the highest court in the land I guess....

I case you were wondering if he’d be sane about this

I uploaded a thing. See you tomorrow.

The Trump administration is trying to reopen a shuttered correctional facility in Dublin, California notorious for its decrepit conditions and history of inmate sexual abuse. Its proposed new tenant? ICE. I’m leading the fight in Congress to oppose this dangerous move.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

AHHHHHHHHHH

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website. The government doesn't get to censor science.

Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was scrubbed for containing the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender." Our settlement means their critical research on suicide risk and endometriosis cannot be removed again.

IMO people are missing the point when someone like this says "it's likely over" He's not saying that he as a creator has been bested by and is resigning to AI; he's saying that morally bankrupt studio heads will see this stuff and go "WOW! We won't even need to hire anyone anymore in a few years!"

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

Nothing to see here... No need for concern at all......

"Exactly! I like this about Bluesky. It is fundamentally different from Twitter. "Because I'm right, I'm allowed to be a jerk." No one is like that on Twitter." You must have never tried posting as a visibly trans or black person. If the Nazi bots are nice to you it feels like a confession.
