People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

CW: politics I don't like shaming people too much for being slow on the uptake, but seeing people say *now* that the USA is broken beyond repair is... Interesting. But I do also think there's an important distinction to be made.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

If this is the shit ICE is willing to do in public while the world watches, imagine what those fuckers do when there aren’t any cameras.

Being terrible on trans issues is always a tell. It never fails.

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'" They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training." They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis! You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

Never even tried it, let alone knew it had tabs.

In a nation that wasn't conditioned to accept right-wing corruption, Trump's use of his own social media platform for major government announcements would be seen correctly as a shameful monetization of the presidency.

Ohhhhh my god I am sat

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

In a nutshell.

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

Me, on NYE: “I hope to envision societal changes through the lens of community and love rather than hate and retribution” Me, three days later: “Fuck this place fuck him and fuck you and WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO SANCTION US”

And opposing the Iraq war was not some sort of endorsement of Saddam or his actions. People tried to play that card back then, and they're trying it again with Maduro.

Corporate Democrats starting their condemnation with "Maduro is an evil dictator who should be brought to justice to answer for his acts, BUT..." then you've already lost the plot. Now you're arguing against why you're defending Maduro, not why Constitutional & International Law can't be selective.

This is why legacy media is dead. Calling the violent overthrow of another regime "advancing US interests" does nothing but trample on US Constitution & Int'l law. These pundits are begging for more war. We need justice & accountability based on facts & law: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-ill...

A 13-year-old had AI intimate deepfakes created of her. The school took no action, she got in a fight, & was sent to an alternative school. The boy who created the deepfakes faced no school discipline. This isn't an isolated story - it's the reality of unregulated AI.

this book is amazing yall everyone go read it

If they have any kind of power at all—journalist, politician, healthcare commissioner—your position on DIY HRT is, “What’s that? A new kind of hammer? For DIY? Can I get it on Amazon?”

Because this has gotten so much traction I must also specify—the issue is not that men CAN’T clean. The issue is domestic labor is STILL overwhelmingly performed by women. It’s not a question of ability. It’s how this work is actually divvied up and how people think it should be divvied up.

With regards to less sex and actual loneliness, women are experiencing these things, too. Women may be more likely to have friends than men, but women are still getting lonelier. Women struggle with dating. The newer male struggle is expecting but not having someone to do your laundry for you

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Biden nominated Carr to remain a member of the FCC because he believed Carr's longstanding statements of support for an independent FCC focused on preserving freedom of expression on the airwaves were truthful, and not fraudulent. They were fraudulent.

Ken Paxton, the Texas AG has created a bathroom snitch line to report suspected trans people in bathrooms. Please don't spam this form that lacks a captcha code and definitely don't create a script to automate it. That would be very very wrong to do. www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/texas-womens...

1. Earlier this year, Yale and CCMC capitulated to the Trump administration and ended care for trans youth. Now, 10 families are suing them for violating state law. Hospitals cannot be made to believe throwing trans people under the bus is risk free. Our latest story.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Reagan.

I hate this so fucking much. Whyyyyy

Zero intelligence secrets, sources, or methods are put at risk by showing a video of a boat exploding, or of shipwrecked people clinging to boat pieces hit by a missile and exploding. Such a video reveals absolutely nothing about how the US identified that boat, located it, or chose to attack it.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

Bad news is KOSA passed committee. The good news is there was more opposition than expected. Pressure works. Keep calling. Keep emailing.

KOSA, yet again

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇 www.badinternetbills.com Call and tell your rep: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws

This is how it will be for EVERYONE if KOSA passes

These laws are to censor LGBTQ voices off the internet. The co-sponsor of KOSA, just one of the 18 censorship/surveillance laws, said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender in society”. These laws will remove ALL anonymity from the internet endangering activists, journalists,etc

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

You can now pre-order ALL THE WAY at other stores! books2read.com/u/mlj9pM Itch.io and Amazon paperback coming on launch day :)

But it's not all bad news: We've got a late-breaking Sunday evening story (courtesy of @erininthemorning.com) on the big military spending bill in congress.

“A reckless and bias-driven abandonment of protections enacted unanimously by Congress 22 years ago that will inevitably lead to state-sponsored rape.”

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies. Either way, never trust them again.
