Feedback from a frontline group: "Being the only trans resource center on the southside of Chicago our community members deserve this type of support. This is a dignified tool that you all are blessing community with, so it fits right in with our mission." Exactly why we do what we do. 😭🖤

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

Not accusing Mark of this – he’s pointing out the same thing – but there’s a real trend of turning “Epstein mentioned X in an email” into “Epstein was the mastermind behind X”. Dates, chronology, reality, be damned. Most bad things in the last decade weren’t all down to him. Sorry.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

I’m busy working on lots of new ideas, keeping some quite spontaneous. I’ve got spring on my mind because I’m feeling a little tired of cold damp winter weather. I’m also enjoying using Schminke’s granulation watercolour paints #sketchbook #art #watercolour #watercolor #rabbits

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

#Minneapolis: Barricades have been put up by community members to create an autonomous grieving zone on the block that Renee Good was killed by federal agent Jonathan Ross yesterday. At least one protest is planned for tonight and healing circles are happening.

For everyone giving Hilton Hotels credit for cancelling ICE reservations…don’t. That specific hotel is independently owned. Hiltons statement: "Hilton Hotels serve as welcoming places for all" and "the actions referenced are not reflective of Hilton values."

Years ago, in the beginning of Trump’s first term, the Washington Post made “Democracy Dies in Darkness” its tagline, ostensibly attempting to convey a statement of resistance.

Yet another airport gate employee lying about facial recognition being mandatory. If you’re a US citizen, you CAN refuse.

A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property). THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

This is Poncho. He's trying to fix some mistakes on his medical record. Actually does not require any more shots, must have been a typo. 12/10 (TT: veterinariabarranquitas)

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

Since the declaration of the supposed ceasefire, the Israeli military has violated it an average of ten or more times a day, murdering hundreds of Palestinians, including scores of small children. There is no peace in Gaza, nor in the West Bank. As the genocide continues, so must our resistance.

Genius

People held at the Core Civic-run ICE jail in Kern County, California are denied medical care, access to their attorneys, and, for disabled detainees, the most basic accommodations, according to a class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU.

they need long foods. it keeps them long.

A Deacon who had been to the Cal City center told me families can't visit and people aren't getting legal representation. All over the country people are dieing in ICE custody from lack of healthcare and some have been pushed to suicide. The cruelty has to stop. www.bakersfield.com/opinion/comm...

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

"they don't give a fuck about you either. why are you protecting them?"

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

So my mom has just… not had many good days the past few years. Her depression has made it tough to see how beautiful & perfect she is. Part of why I moved in aside from caretaking for my dad was to help her rediscover herself. So we did a kimono shoot for her bday. Look at her radiant smile y’all.

it’s really damn bleak right now & it’s hard to feel good about anything but some trans folks out there are 100% determined to make sure every trans person is exactly as panicked as they are in a way that’s not additive or informative & i’m not sure that’s helpful or what solidarity looks like.

I am organizing multiple workshops this week for Chicago activists and organizers as we prepare for a possible military occupation of our city. I am tired but moving fast.

The Capitol Rioters have had quite a lot to say since they received pardons from Donald Trump — most have no regrets, believe conspiracy theories, and remain loyal to Trump and the MAGA movement. I'm documenting their statements, activities, and networks at Pardon Tracker. Please consider donating:

I hesitate to give him clicks but here's this episode from this YouTuber's dumb fake show Truly disappointing that this was misrepresented on BlueSky and that it's spread so widely We should spread facts and truth, especially as we combat Trump and his fascist cronies youtu.be/P_xuovSS7dw

This month, I will be publishing an in-depth investigative report on the pardoned Capitol Rioters — documenting the activities of far right extremists including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and White Supremacists. This project requires hours and hours of work. I need your support. Please donate:

Israel murdered Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues because genocide can only proceed without witnesses. Western media outlets have failed to condemn the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists, and in the process have become accomplices. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/the-...
