This is MASSIVE news for anyone without institutional access! Tagging @thetransfemininereview.com in particular, since we've discussed this issue before.

Time to dump your Tik Tok! Do it. Do it NOW!

Knowledge is power and that's why bad people are putting so much effort into tainting or destroying information right now

@unraveledpress.com literally got me being shot — I'm crouched behind the van holding the back of my head where I'd already been hit. Then it pans to the right where the ICE is pointing right at us. I get hit in the face & you see the man who was with me rush past as he takes me to the medic

I don’t speak on this very often, but I urge you to call. If this goes through, it won’t just be federal funding that stops for gender affirming care. It’s federal money now, but insurance companies follow what they’re allowed to do and if they’re allowed to drop us, they will. Please call.

We found (or rather, conclusively identified via a wonderfully strange new method) some Denisovan skulls, recently. We did that. Did you know that? Did popular news even tell you? Or were they too busy with some other balloon juice techbro horseshit designed to give shareholders boners?

Says a lot about the state of popular science reporting that some techbro doofus can pretend he's going to be immortal and that will grab more headlines than "Hey we have a gene therapy that slows the advance of Huntington's by 75%," or "We gengineered a pothos into a living air purifier."

There's a Spanish language Yes on 50 ad with AOC running every ten seconds on YouTube in CA and they specifically mention ICE and show images of the kidnappings so that's good

A new Mass Effect (Bioware is owned by EA) without diversity would be rather bland. Change the formula and it won't be Mass Effect anymore.

To understand the Network State cult, read this piece I wrote about Balaji Srinivasan's terrifying fascist fever dreams for the future. Balaji's ideas are ignorant, paranoid & bizarre—and he's deeply influential in tech/crypto circles where he's regarded as a genius. newrepublic.com/article/1804...

The Kavanaugh Stop

This week: The Network State conference in Singapore. Watch as radicalized tech billionaires and authoritarian governments openly plot a post-democracy, post-USA crypto future. The Network State is an extremist tech cult based on the work of Curtis Yarvin. It calls for a program of "tech zionism."

Instead of inktober, I propose just doing whatever creative project you really want to do and have been meaning to do. Don’t be afraid of people judging you or it not being good enough. As often as you’re able, set aside dedicated time to work on it like it’s school or a job. Goodluck.

If you are a veteran and are looking to get organized in town, check out @vetsaboutface.bsky.social There’s a Portland chapter. And they have resources for those currently serving who do not want to follow unlawful orders, or those that don’t align with their morals, e.g., deployment to Portland.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

that’s my rep

I don't know how else to ask folks to help save us. Im scared if we cant raise collective funds fast we wont be ABLE to be safe when the much broadcast move against trans folk happens. Please give? Boost? 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ paylinks: linktr.ee/wylder PayPal.me/MousePounder Cash.app/$WishMage Venmo.com/u/WishMage

Ya know, I'm reminded today of a story I did re Eric Adams controlling a secretive, abusive NYPD unit The connex was so tight, the mayor had access to a *live-feed* of the unit's body-cams “The unit effectively reported directly to City Hall," a source told me www.propublica.org/article/eric...

"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMYHaTFE/ Netanyahu is excited about sale of TikTok because it will be a consequential weapon. 😱😳

Californians: do it

Bumping this up again... Izolde is good people, and she's had a rough time because the tech job market sucks right now. It's getting close to the end of the month and she really needs to make rent.... please please give what you can! 🌟💖💫

The moment you give the fascist far right a chance to convince you they are acting in good faith, they will take advantage. This is why any ceding ground that liberals have enacted due to Kirk’s assassination has been so devastating to the cause. It’s like a full retreat against an invasion.

It's an objective fact that if you're running around arresting people based on the color of their skin, you're a piece of shit

my cat when i explain that my retirement plan consists solely of the expectation that i will be transported and reborn into a medieval fantasy game setting like in an isekai anime, with a generous magic system that makes healthcare coverage obsolete

Like, turning my internal cynicism dial to maximum for a moment here- I wonder if people here would qualify Italy circa 2009 as a failed state, or if they consider China, as it is right now, a failed state.

It is either a surrender to the framing that for reasons XYZ the US is a failed state, or it gives far too much power to Trump in coronating his second term as the annihilator of the American Experiment inside eight months.

The framing of the US as a failed nation is fundamentally a total surrender to the GOP framing and the fact it is so popular on here is why I am glad this site is Dem TruthSocial.

the senate represents land rather than people. a farm crisis is pretty much the most direct available way of attacking land

Just a reminder, the Dems can’t actually shut down the government. There are less then 50 Dem senators, and less than 218 Dem house reps, and the President is a Republican. There is no roadblock Dems can put up that Rs can’t overcome if they want. If they don’t overcome them it’s cause they don’t

Sharing my voice acting reel again, folks! If you're casting for a project and like what you hear, I would love to work with you!

very shaped

Just saw this great post again and it reminded me of my old beef against "spoilers don't matter, a good film isn't spoilable": The timing with which information is revealed is important in every movie! It's as much a part of the art as dialogue or lighting,it matters at least as much as aspect ratio

At least 10 people were shot, and four people killed, after a shooting and fire at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, authorities confirmed Sunday. Ten shot, 4 killed at Michigan church and fire set "deliberately." www.axios.com/2025/09/28/m...

Today Oregon’s message to Donald Trump was loud and clear: stay out.

My little daughter Kinda is fighting illness with a very high fever,and I can’t afford the medicine she desperately needs. Medications are scarce and costly,and every moment puts her life at risk. Please, help me save Kinda;every contribution could let her recover and smile again🙏 gofund.me/edd687b8

So this is a deliberate attempt to foster the idea that bluesky moderation is doing holocaust denial from a known bad faith account. The misleading tag is applied due to the italicized text, which I will remind you, was started as a bit on threads.

A guy rammed a car through a church, shot it up, and then set it on fire, killing at least 2 people and injuring 8. And you get none of that from JD Vance's tweet, which instead refers to it all as simply an "awful situation." Guess why

I’m in a really bad spot right now, I have no way to pay rent so we don’t become homeless (again,,,) We need 900$ by Oct 5 in order to stay housed. I trying so hard to do what I can for myself but I have to ask for help I’m scared. Please help or share if possible, I am scared for this month.

I collect pictures of dogs who look like they’re being interviewed on the news

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

Rachel S.—a U.S. citizen—was beaten unconscious by unlawfully masked ICE agents simply for getting out of her car at Home Depot. She was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital—only to later be forcefully removed against her will. We are demanding an investigation. —H.I.L.L. Network on Instagram

Another Kavanaugh stop.

Been trying to read some isekai lately.
