NEW @teenvogue.com: a Texas bill passed this summer mandating schools deadname trans students, leaving enforcement to districts. @kitoconnell.com speaks to trans students in TX: “I’ve never felt more at threat here. I can’t stop thinking that everything would be so different if I detransitioned.”

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.” They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

Shanah tovah. May this year be more just, more sweet, and more peaceful than last. And may we all actively engage in the work of building this world together.

humbly, we ask your aid—to support independent and uncompromised leftist publishing and journalism, and art and poetry too.

we have so much more collective power than people think we do

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

What I’m wearing to the Rapture

Outside the Broadview ICE facility this afternoon. Not a ton of movement at the moment, but have seen a few masked agents coming and going. This black Jeep was spotted by rapid responders earlier today during an arrest in McKinley Park.

IT IS THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX

Canceled Disney+ this morning. No show is worth more than the First Amendment. If you think that’s silly, check Disney’s stock price. We vote with our dollars.

The difference between fascism taking over or being forced to recede is in the nature of the opposition

Every now and then I get reminded that this song exists. So for all the trans people out there suffering from family rejection, fear, hate, and wishing they had an accepting family, here's a song for you with lots of feels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tils...

My babies. Two seven strings and Strat copy and cigar box guitar.

We heard you like irresponsible journalism so we did some journalism from our national platform as irresponsibly as humanly possible about a community going through a major crisis, pls subscribe

She was doxxed and fired for this post which didn't celebrated his death. She said his death was a tragedy and she feels for his wife and children...and even says she would pray for him! Everyone should let Ball State know how wrong this is. @ballstate.bsky.social @ballstatemedia.bsky.social

“My fear is they’re trying to make examples of people like myself as a way to scare people. But I’m here, and I’m not scared.”

I am so tired of getting the shit scared out of me by National Guard waking around randomly in the dark in the middle of neighborhoods

Last month, I wrote about Angel Minguela Palacios, who was arrested by Border Patrol while delivering strawberries. On Thursday, I was with his partner and their three kids when they welcomed him home after he spent more than a month in ICE detention www.latimes.com/california/s...

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

Protesters yell at one agent with an American flag mask and sleeves “Nazi” as they push demonstrators off the sidewalk in front of the driveway. “Proud of it,” the agent replied.

Protesters briefly stop a vehicle and make it turn around, agents step out and fire a pepper balls while another shoved them from in front of the vehicle.

To the person ROCKING OUT AND HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST in the blue Honda Civic, I really want to know what song you were listening to. It must have been epic.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: Canada, the U.K. and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

The scene at Broadview today is calm, no sights of federal agents other than the occasional car going in the front gate. A UHaul truck was backed into the side garage earlier. About a dozen protesters are holding signs, dancing to Mexican music and yelling “shame” when agents enter/exit.

We were out at the Gorman Rd/I-95 overpass in North Laurel, MD yesterday standing up for free speech and against the government’s censorship of Stephen Colbert and @jimmykimmel.com. Lots of honking and waving from thousands of drivers! @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

We were so glad to welcome the Philly to DC marchers on our regular protest overpass Gorman Rd/I-95! Pikachu had a lovely time high-fiving everybody. And awesome to hear they made it safe to DC and delivered the U.S. Constitution to our wonderful MD Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov!!! 🦀🦀🦀

Use it or lose it! 50 folks protecting their freedom of speech today in front of Tesla, Lyndhust, OH #TeslaTakedown #MuskorUs #Ohio50501

Way to go Arlington, VA!

The final call: We are being exterminated from the face of the earth.”

Greetings from Kyiv, where the night was calm. I finished writing Sunday Letter and decided to take you on a short walk with me. Fresh, sunny autumn.

No peace for #ICE agents staying at #MedfordMA hotel www.universalhub.com/2025/no-peac...

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

The war has taken everything leaving only patient hearts and a small hope for my children to have a better life Sometimes it feels like the world has forgotten us, but every donation no matter how small, is a ray of hope reminding us we are not alone in this darkness 💔 chuffed.org/project/sharif

The next two minutes of video show me offering to walk off with him since he's not being detained. He declines, because he "doesn't want to be rude". Less than two minutes later, they place him in cuffs with no explanation and stuff him into a car with NY plates.

As you can see, this man is as cool as a cucumber, knows his rights, and is confident that he is here legally.

This morning at 11am, corner of Hathorn and Broadway in Somerville MA. 3 ICE vehicles idling on nearby corners. I was following two ICE cars that were cruising around the neighborhood. This person was just walking down the sidewalk when two ICE vehicles stopped and officers jumped out to stop him.

This is the friendship bracelet I picked out at today’s #TeslaTakedown. “Democracy Isn’t a Spectator Sport.” Yep, that’s my message. (and no, that’s not my countertop 😛)

The Taylor Swift fan kid and her mom handing out hand-made friendship bracelets was a highlight, as was the new additions to the flood wall now that we are barred from chalking on it. Wish I could say this genius idea was mine, but can say that I will neither confirm nor deny that I helped.

Great energy at today’s #TeslaTakedown from the team and the passing cars! Only a couple fascists yelled 4th grade level jeers. As usual I didn’t capture the amount of car horns beeping in support but you get the idea. Note my new sign using the pedoPOTUS page of the infamous birthday book…

Another amazing, energetic Tesla Takedown in Arlington, VA! We were joined today by a young kid who insisted on coming to the protest with his handmade sign. The next generation of patriots ✊❤️ @teslatakedown.com
