1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state. They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic. Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too. The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Remember that Crenshaw's loss to Toth is nothing worth celebrating. Toth has denounced GAC for anyone under age 26, said providing trans people w/ accurate government ID was a loophole being exploited by sex offenders & wants to criminalize trans ppl's updated IDs as "gender identity fraud."

I’m live posting through tonight’s hearings in Missouri over a series of anti-LGBT bills: HB 1893, HB 2075, and HB 2536. Bills not yet heard; more TK. #MOLeg

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

#DeTransLaw Public Service: Since the Fox Varian Case Files Remain Sealed and we accessed them before trial, if you're interested I'm organizing them to a public drive. Currently includes Affidavits, Depositions and more. Don't pay a grifter for access to them. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Borders also keep you in

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong. I landed on "slopagandist." Gift link (open in a web browser) www.theverge.com/news/869824/...

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature. It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money. The House is voting on it today.

I want to bring you so much cool journalism in 2026. I want to bring you a story on trans people coping with mental health crises by @sandyernestallen.bsky.social. I want to bring you a series on resilience from @veraeikon.bsky.social. I want to go to ME and report on queers organizing against ICE.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Who are some other good journalists that work for local news outlets I can follow?

"...it seems not too big of a leap to wonder whether helping individuals transition and helping the working class 'transition' might be mutually reinforcing forms of political work. It is just possible that in order to successfully treat gender dysphoria, we have to give people a future."

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The collective shame we all feel tonight is only a fraction of what we will feel if we fail to stop it again.

This is a must read by the brilliant @silkys13.bsky.social truthout.org/articles/tru...

I'm sorry, but when the only two people to publicly claim they've received "FBI letters" are a 22-y.o. essayist and an Instagram fashion model, it should fill your gut with doubt.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

ICE has recently bought the capability of monitoring the location histories of entire neighborhoods worth of phones. The data is likely harvested from apps that sell your data, which filters up through data brokers and eventually to companies that sell to ICE: www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

important message to all bluesky users

Evergreen: The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Trump's "transgender for everybody" refrain is sounding less and less like a dictatorial threat, and more like a campaign promise

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.” That is the problem

This is some great, detailed reporting - thank you @transvestigations.bsky.social

16 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- After being targeted by online harassment campaign and almost dropping out of the race, Amy Heutmaker stays in and wins county trustee in conservative rural NE Ohio county, becoming perhaps first elected Ohio trans municipal official.

UPDATE: The remains have been ID'd as Dr. McDonough.

adhering to the gender binary is a cisyphean task

I mean, this is an execution

COLTS NECK, NEW JERSEY: Sec. of Ed. Linda McMahon, plus extremist groups like Charlie Kirk's TPUSA and Moms for Liberty, are kicking off a countrywide "educational" (indoctrination) with for an in-school/daytime assembly at a local middle school. [a thread] www.nj.com/education/20...

rapid onset hot allostatic load

The "campus free speech types are hypocrites" line of commentary is very well-worn, so I won't belabor the point much further. But it feels worth noting that *unions* are the organizations actually fighting for freedom of speech on many college campuses...
