Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Criticizing the enlightened centrist isn’t kicking them out of the so-called tent, it is presenting them with an opportunity to stop eroding the integrity of the tent by tirelessly trying to find commonality with people who want to burn the tent down.

If you are a cis ally you need to download and archive every bit of trans media and educational material you can for preservation purposes. The situation is dire.

at least twice now, this federal agent has come out of the broadview ice facility with his sidearm drawn. last friday, an ice agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop nearby in franklin park, illinois.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I am SO GLAD there is no place for violence in our politics. 😒

They have thrown Kat

MLK said that the "[white] moderate" was a bigger obstacle to civil rights than the KKK." You're seeing why today with people like Ezra. Here's the part from MLK's Birmingham jail letter.

Every time I say this someone always argues with me and honestly if you are disagreeing with this you're either a cop, a fed, or too uninformed about the legal system to have a valid opinion. DEMAND A LAWYER AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

Here it is. Please share it widely. I didn't do this because I wanted to be safe, but because I am determined not to lose my freedoms without a fight. I'm doing this for you, America. Long live the bill of rights and fuck Charlie Kirk.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Sooooo, they’ve just decided pesky facts won’t even slow them down from blaming trans people? Well. That’s fuuuuuun. 😐

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate

I hope you all read this from me.

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

1930 BEACH STREET. 1930 BEACH STREET. 1930 BEACH STREET. Join us this morning in protesting ICE and advocating for our neighbors trapped in the Broadview Processing Facility.

A notice to the #wargaming, #miniatures & #ttrpg community: Red Box Games has decided they don't want our business. Thank you, Ian, for sharing this. #warhammer #40k #aos #nerdlings #turnip28 #1490doom #trenchcrusade #dnd #pathfinder #tabletop

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

One can decry the violence, but they never, ever have to hand it to him for anything. Ever.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

As always, be careful what you say on the internet. We don’t need to go to the gulag today

Authors!!!

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

And remember, especially under military occupation, that *every* day is Shut The Fuck Up Friday. videos.parleur.net/w/enn8e5Rw65...

Oh btw if you use ICE as a threat for any reason I hope you burn in hell

we were already in sports and you didn't even know it because it's actually perfectly fair for us to play. we were already accessing transition as teens and preteens in most places and you didn't know because it's THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT IN HISTORY.

Can someone with a very large account share this, please? Northwestern Professor Nina Kraus has been missing since 9am on September 1.

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...

The Department of Homeland Security posted an image of the ideological moral allocation heat map. They’re calling people who care about what happens to other living beings beyond just their family and friends, losers and their opinions invalid. /

This is a valuable thread for authors outside the US whose work has been stolen and who might therefore have a claim under this class action.

why did psa book matt yglesias yo be the “other side” on trans rights? well they’d asked me for ideas of someone else to “debate” and i had offered a few good ones imho: pete buttigieg and seth moulton. then they asked for someone to the right of them.

...gonna drop this here for those who seek a more thorough & less flippant response: bsky.app/profile/juli...

Heads up: ICE took a Brazilian trans woman in DC. Her name is Alice Correia Barbosa. No one has been able to find her. If anyone hears anything at all, please DM me or reach out to OP on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/washington...

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Be aware. Be prepared.

“I’m sick of these purity tests. NO CANDIDATE is perfect. Newsom may not care about homeless people or trans people but he’s the ONLY ONE hiring social media posters to ask ChatGPT to talk like Trump”

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

It's transphobic to believe there's something different about trans children's healthcare and any other healthcare. There's no evidence for such a belief which means its only basis is transphobia. Hope that helps.

To my "friends" who keep shoving this guy down my throat THREE YEARS before the next presidential election: keep it up. I dare you.
