29 September 1930 | A Belgian Jewish girl, Hilda Weinberger, was born in Antwerp. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen in October 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. --- The first two gas chambers near Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Portland burned down ages ago. Portland never burned down. Portland never existed. Portland has always existed. Portland is everywhere and nowhere. Portland is the affirmation and negation of all things. A contradiction harmonized in the transcendent fire of the divine gnosis. And also teriyaki.

What is this timeline?

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

Being anti fascist is considered terrorism now.

The left is giving trans people big "I really like you, I just don't want to be seen together in public" energy.

...and then they came for the H1B visa-holders. How much longer does the poem need to get before people figure it out?

The one good thing about this “run America like a business” nightmare is that more people are beginning to realize how corrupt and craven many businesses truly are. Take notes. Never forget how they abandoned us. Don’t forgive their complicity.

File this under we told you so.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "This isn't about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power, to question authority, and to tell the truth without fear of retribution."

A trans woman was murdered by a man who kept taunting her for not being a woman. This is exactly the kind of hate that has been incited by Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, and Chaya Raichik. They got exactly what they wanted, a dead trans person killed because of hate. wtop.com/dc/2025/09/d...

“Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism and somehow managed to make it close” One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, Omar El Akkad

This here is why I made a crude, offensive drawing of Charlie Kirk and openly celebrated his death in an essay. We're well past the time where mere statements supporting free speech can do anything. We need to be willing to engage in the banned speech, loudly and unapologetically.

My daily affirmation.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

BREAKING: DOJ asks the Supreme Court to allow Trump's purported firing of Lisa Cook as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board to be given effect during her challenge to that purported firing. The DC Circuit (2-1) rejected a similar request earlier this week. It will be Docket No. 25A312.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't being totally factually inaccurate, but more to he point, *he was telling a joke.* Censorship of comedians is pretty textbook authoritarian behavior. @timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

Democrats need to stand up for the marginalized not move right.

Skrmetti means they're coming for Obergefell next: Read Barrett's analysis on why trans people aren't a protected class, and substitute "homosexual" with "transgender" to see if the logic still holds.

WATCH: after we got shot last night, our comrade/lawyer @shakeer.bsky.social went over to ask for the pigs badge # & name. LAPD pig Rick Linton then told (& did) Shakeer that he was going to shoot if he kept asking questions. This is unhinged behavior! @mayor.lacity.gov has completely ok’d this!

Bike cop is big scared of some "anarchists" 🤬

Fuckn't

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

Dear white liberals: Singing songs and praying while ICE kidnaps people is not resistance. Holding signs and standing on the sidewalk is not resistance. Writing and calling your politicians is not resistance. Resistance is active. Resistance requires you to TAKE ACTION AGAINST FASCISM.

Anyone who says you should commit crimes on Bluesky or openly discuss committing crimes on Bluesky is either a fed or someone you cannot ever trust with sensitive information. Would-be revolutionaries who can't shut the fuck up are no good to anyone.
