On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

1. Major news. Mayor Mamdani has just announced $15 million in direct funding for trans youth care providers, the most concrete action his administration has taken since receiving significant criticism over its handling of trans youth. Subscribe to support our journalism.

About to get thrown out of here for obvious reasons

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

my joke about how it would be funny imagining liberals telling people to vote to stop a meteor from destroying the planet has devolved into apparantly i am now a homophobe and bigot with people begging for me to be identified so they can beat me up. am i supposed to believe this is a normal reaction

Growing up, social media was a big part of self-discovery for me and lots of other LGBTQ teens. That's exactly why conservatives want to ban these platforms for kids. They would prefer to keep them isolated and in the dark while surveilling us all via digital IDs. spitfirenews.com/p/social-med...

this story should be national news during pride month and instead barely anyone knows about it

1. In a move that is likely to be seen as capitulation to Trump, EITM can confirm that Mamdani's first ever trans direct care clinic will deny care to those under 19 years of age, the age from Trump's anti-trans EOs. It is a far cry from his pledge to "use every tool" to fight capitulation.

Mamdani being a huge coward when it comes to trans youth is genuinely enraging. They will tell us with a straight face how hard it is. Do you know how hard it is for a trans youth who has had to move states and had 3 providers drop them and now has no options? Try that.

I'm working on a story on this as well, but the takeaway out of this is that Mamdani's direct-care clinic will apparently ban trans youth from getting care, will only provide it to adults. This is because of fear of loss of federal funding. This is DIRECTLY the capitulation reason NYU/Sinai gave.

I find this line of reasoning very interesting, why is it that we're assuming a president who wants to act the "same as Trump" but in the opposite direction wouldn't also *want* to pack the court? Like, Trump literally did that after RBG died and he didn't even have to change the # of seats.

Legendary wiki entry under Personal Life. RIP.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

We’re just normal men

I was late to finish this project, but it's finally done. My last two songs from my 2025 music project are now out! Links below and in bio! :> (Lovely art by my partner @allenetcetera.bsky.social )

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened

when people say "the dems ARE getting better, though", you gotta ask "on which issues? be specific." cuz surveillance and privacy issues have not been one of them! they just keepg etting worse!

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

Jeff the Killer origin finally has a plausible explanation

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Always, ALWAYS listen to John Waters.

They're not going to stop with trans. They've realized that they can get away with just about anything if they claim to be protecting "the children." If they roll back gay marriage, they won't stop there either. There is no fucking accommodating these people, they must be defeated & marginalized.

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

They fucking did it. They used the song.

They're coming after vpns now. The "think it the children" moral panic is going to end online anonymity and subject us all to a surveillance state. www.tomshardware.com/software/vpn...

Watching it tonight as well

Yes, the regime is *already* at the point of arresting trans people for who we are, and nobody - especially the media and the Democrats - wants to admit it, let alone do anything about it.

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

this was the closest we have ever gotten to culling the dragnet surveillance state since... their introduction nearly 2 decades ago(?) and 42 democrats joined the fascist party to save them

what is the fucking point of an opposition party that acts like this

I think the prevalence of lib resistance on this app being a mirage of AI images and people constantly reposting said AI images is probably the stupidest form of "resistance", given what we know about the mechanisms that create these images being literal poison.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has released its new proposed rule that requires federally funded shelters house people based on "biological sex" and strips protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-08244.pdf

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

A group of trans youth in Boston have organized a letter writing campaign urging the pediatric conference to remove the panel. They've reached almost 11,000 letters sent so far. Add your voice to the effort. Please share. actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

THREAD: Let's dig into one specific piece of the misguided "protect the kids" social media legislation that Massachusetts lawmakers are trying to rush through: The provisions that involve "parental consent." (Read my Boston Globe piece here for a primer) archive.ph/rAK4P But let's go deeper 🧵

Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor

Every year, January to April, people accuse me of fearmongering in my reporting. Every year around this time, bills pass. And without fail, every year, the ratchet tightens. And now Idaho just passed a bill that could put me in prison for years—for washing my hands in a bathroom.
