Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

the original is a banger:

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

This is a long clip, but I want you to see how BIG this New Yorkers Against ICE march was. At least two city blocks of people. You are not alone and we are going to win.

50%?!? that's more than simply false, it's absolutely drunk. like black-out level drunk. the Heritage foundation is totally fucking drunk and media reports of this should describe them that way!

Heritage Foundation called me an extremist for calling them out on their made up lies and statistics and trans people. www.wired.com/story/herita...

gonna be getting a lot of mileage outta this

I don't know about the rest of the book but I will confidently say that the ending of The Edge of Space-Time is actually pretty great and I am proud of it Which is good because first pass pages are in, which means I have to read the book for the nth time Please preorder!

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

From a transcript of a faculty meeting discussing this: Faculty are being told to not teach on gender and sexuality at all, regardless of their field, and the Dean isn’t even sure if the faculty *can accept papers from students that discuss these topics*.

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Imagine a trans woman Ok. Good. Now imagine that she didn't spawn in a dimly-lit bar at 35 years old, but was actually raised from birth in the same society as you. Ok, you're trying, but now try also having her perceive her environment and understand it through human thought processes.

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

Everyone: American political discourse cannot be any more stupid. Kamala Harris:

they really are all more afraid of communism than fascism and i swear that's why they're all afraid of trans people too

9. If these anti-LGBTQ+ provisions make it through, they would lock some of the harshest restrictions on trans people into federal law and hand Trump a stronger platform to target trans rights nationwide. Only if Dems stand firm for their trans and queer constituents will this outcome be stopped.

Republicans are trying to criminalize all lifesaving transgender healthcare nationwide. Again. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS. Democrats in congress have the power to force the removal of these horrific riders, BUT THEY WILL ONLY LISTEN IF WE SHOUT.

anyway here’s @vivmccall.bsky.social with some extremely good and extremely fucking sobering reporting on the recent surge in random hate crimes directed at trans women in Seattle. Please be careful, everyone. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

Look I expected the Right and the center to spend all of its time focusing on Charlie Kirk instead of the fucking ethnic cleansing ICE and Border Patrol are carrying out in Chicago but I didn't expect that shit from the left Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
