"The new policy states that trans people will not have access to surgery, clothing or toiletry items that align with their gender identity. People behind bars on hormone medications will be forced to taper off them." #transbehindbars

“A legacy is an active thing, a verb, a transgressive appeal to memory that we must form a community around & continually raise,” wrote D. Musa Springer. Springer's op-ed reclaims MLK Jr. from the grips of imperialism. His spirit will always live on for those who need it.

I interviewed @abbymartin.bsky.social about her new film, EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY, which exposes the environmental toll of U.S. imperialism. The doc premiers in Philadelphia next week on Weds 1/28. Read more in Broad Street Review!

Guess who's coming home?! After over 15 years inside, I will be released in early February and look forward to being with my family and friends. I accomplished more than I could have dreamed while imprisoned. Imagine what I'll do when I'm free.

@mmfa.bsky.social Hi there, I tried to pitch a story to the submissions email this morning but I got this email. Is the email listed on this page (www.mediamatters.org/submissions) still active?

I'm really here to post articles. Consider this a Tumblr but for journalism.

"Any comfort and safety in our present consumer culture is amazingly fragile, we realize, and can be shattered with a few little glitches."

“Trans visibility is important, but also trans people deserve to have fun.” For @texasobserver.org magazine, I teamed up with photographer Harmon Li to document a "Trans Takeover" at Austin's Barton Springs swimming hole. A moment of queer and trans joy that came weeks after a violent attack ...

twenty-nine (29!!!) nyt stories were cited to support the state in the u.s. v skrmetti decision (h/t @assignedmedia.org for reporting for @objectivejournos.bsky.social) to further limit access to trans healthcare. just horrid horrid stuff objectivejournalism.org/2025/06/new-...

my first story @theintercept.com: organizers with @adalahjustice.bsky.social and @genderlib.com announced today that the Human Rights Campaign has ended its relationships with weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman and Raytheon following years of protests and accusations of "pinkwashing"

Loved this post from Nicole Pereira for Polyester: "While for some, research is synonymous with tranquility: jotting paper, a chai-scented candle, and ceramic tea bowls. For others, it is a source of power, an obligation ahead of big decision-making events, educated conversations, and referendums."

"Yet, one should be hopeful about the ascension of worker-owned, independently-operated media outlets on the rise, whose mere existence is an act of defiance against the forces of censorship that are present in the nation’s media and journalism industry." Thank you @taylorcrumpton.bsky.social!

NEW: @prismreports.org revised our guidelines to allow writers & reporters to send pitches centering U.S. imperialism and Palestine, regardless of a direct U.S. angle, because the consequences of U.S. policy and imperialism are global. prismreports.org/2025/07/04/w...

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Despite a 2021 requirement, immigration officials have stopped reporting the number of transgender people in their custody, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports. Advocates warn that the decision hampers efforts to ensure queer people’s safety in the nation’s escalating immigration detention regime.
