portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

Who needs Bela Fleck, Issa Rae, Ben Folds, or Hamilton when you can see the non-political star of Mr. Birchum spend 2 hours bitching about how men don't eat stew anymore?

1/7: i don't think this is quite right in terms of first-order purpose, which is to invite you into the in-group. it's less "this is what we're believing" and more "this is the play we're running, you in?" it's this participatory aspect that makes it so powerful.

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

Once again, it's about to be the most important election of our lifetimes... but this time it's because of egg prices.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs by Renée Nicole Good

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

Chills me to the bone that they feel bold enough to show the video of her being murdered because they're so sure her having "pronouns in her bio" and "leaving behind a lesbian partner" will justify it to their audience.

I really don’t think otherwise well meaning cishet people understand just (or care about) how much effort queer and trans people have to put in to protect our relationships and autonomy in the event that something horrible happens to one of us.

We're going to hear a million increasingly evil and unhinged reasons Renee Good deserved to be murdered before we hear the name of the Nazi we watched murder her.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

This is a lie and should not be spread. Renee Good has a wife, who was, horrifically, in the car with her when she was executed by the government. It is flatly untrue to assert that child has no one else in his life.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Actions have consequences.

This is massively important to remember, my grieving friends. Please remember this. All of these murders are evil, but what happened just now is not the first.

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

You can tell it's real news, because it has AI memes in it.

he looks like a faded guy from an 80s punk band getting upset at Zorak

They got tired of being asked "what is a chair?"

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

It's infuriating how many liberals will hear him say shit like this and rightly call him unhinged, but then turn around and be like "but he does have a point about trans women dominating sports."

You can give a public comment on the proposed data center in Martindale Brightwood at a meeting on Thursday, Jan. 15 in the public assembly room at the City-County Building: https://bit.ly/4stNhXE

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there. Puberty Blocker bans harm trans kids, no-one should pretend they don’t.

I've watched the LOTR trilogy a hundred times, but to this day the only part of the Hobbit trilogy I've seen is the clip they played on the On Cinema at the Cinema Oscar Special.

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.” That is the problem

On the first day back following the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro & first lady Cilia Flores, 6 Senate Democrats vote yea to confirm Keith Bass as an Assistant Secretary of Defense by a vote of 50-35.

Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of Parker Molloy's newsletter The Present Age! She does great media criticism and I just read her last, excellent piece about Jack Smith's House Judiciary Committee deposition www.readtpa.com

Taking a moment to step away from 24 hours of tits on a dog discourse to fill my lungs with fresh air and feel gratitude for the one life I've been given.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

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.
