This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

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.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

Genocide and trans rights purity tests are good actually.

Interesting times with Some Dumbass: Did Ross Douthat Ruin Being Alive?

On the day after the NYC election, the thing I'm looking forward to the most is the fucking centrist cope. "Oh, the margins were tighter than VA/NJ!" Mamdani was running against a former Democratic Governor ya dummies.

Just in case you weren't awake when this dropped. It has to be seen to be believed...

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Fuck Maud Maron and fuck her legacy.

Mamdate

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

"It was not an accident." Retired U.S. Colonel Steve Gabavics investigated the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and says the final report was watered down by the Biden administration to avoid blaming an Israeli soldier for intentionally killing her.

Post 1/6 The WSJ just platformed Colin Wright claiming "evidence backs the transgender social-contagion hypothesis." This is pseudoscience wrapped in statistical sleight-of-hand, published by a biologist with zero expertise in gender identity or clinical psychology. Let's dismantle this rubbish. 🧵

I fucking swear, Cuomo's campaign must be fucking high right now.

The Trump Administration’s draft HHS rules would strip Medicare and Medicaid funding from hospitals that provide healthcare to trans people under 19 years old. Every person must have access to the healthcare they need and deserve.

What ghoulish behavior it is to dunk on someone for sticking up for their community. Fuck you CNN. You should be applauding Mamdani.

I've said Platner still had some appeal for me because his reddit comments looks like someone who grew over time... But since he never got ahead of this, the only way I could get past this is if he takes off his shirt on camera and shows the tattoo has been removed or covered up.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

It's because they can't realize that it's so much easier to have message discipline when you are being genuine.

Gotta block them all! Block early, block often! bsky.app/profile/did:...

If anything, this just made me more comfortable with the idea of an ex-merc in our Senate. Platner seems fuckin awesome.

There is someone on the debate stage who hates a certain religion and it’s adherence and that is Andrew Cuomo. He has always been xenophobic towards Muslims. I, in fact, tried personally to get him to visit a mosque during his term in office and he would not.

Sex is cool, but have you ever heckled Andrew Cuomo for 10 minutes straight?

every Democrat (including McBride) who spread the baseless lie that trans issues hurt Dems in 2024 is contributing to this btw the ironic part is the ads mostly harm trans people by otherizing and justifying state violence, actually harming not Democrats

a fake quote being attributed to zohran mamdani is igniting the pro-palestine left. he never said arresting netanyahu would make him a trumpian fascist. that phrase was posted by an account known for using extreme rhetoric to accuse mamdani of effectively saying that as a result of him softening.

It's the fifth day of #preorders and I'm realizing that I don't know how to promote a book. Do any other #indieauthors have this same issue? Let me know in the comments...oh and here's my book lol. It's totally a book. I'm tired. www.vinegarpress.org/store/p/boy-...

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.

Biden spent the last functional years of his life participating in trans genocide and arming and allowing Gazan genocide only to die on estrogen from what is ostensibly ass cancer nearly immediately afterwards. You don’t get poetic justice like this anymore

A board of bigots.

It's not a shock collar. Every day now there are out if context clips on here going after this guy.

Well that sucks for you. I guess your party is going to keep losing then

This whole app is full of these nuggets. Bad sign.

Chat, is it good that all the world's most powerful people are obsessed with the nazi jurist, Carl Schmitt?

Stephen Miller's insecurity over his height proves something: Despite his grandstanding, he's truly a meek, insignificant, small man at heart.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Literally some of the people on here are going to bat defending an outlet that published a white supremacist article. LGBTQ Nation isn't an outlet that is trying to save trans people or destroy Newsom; they're on the same side.

Y'all Newsom HAS NOT vetoed the bills!! LGBTQ Nation is pulling the exact same bullshit PinkNews did by spreading clickbait and borderline fake news for engagement. He has until the 12th to sign the bills

this clickbait headline is actually harming trans people by acting like it's too late to pressure Newsom and it pisses me off! Newsrooms know that false panic goes viral so they intentionally lie to everyone to drive up ad revenue. Meanwhile, it demotivates activists and distracts from the fight.

Fixed.

Remember how the Trump administration raged about "transgender mice" because of studies involving transgenic mice? Well, the woman who just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine wrote her thesis using transgenic mice.

Bluesky has a moderation team? ...Oh, you mean the hierarchy maintenance team!

Maria Danzillo does not speak for NYC Queers.
