Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

University of Washington professor fired from director job after sending email criticizing Iran war

please don't ignore this. this is incredibly urgent. we need your help

For real. If literally one in ten of the people following me on here bought each @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social title, I’d never have to worry about anything ever again.

My child will die… he is a small, innocent child whose condition is getting worse as the virus threatens his life. I support 13 people, and I have not been able to raise even £100 for his treatment. I see him suffer helplessly… your donation or share may save his life 💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

Please please please help

Planning to do some extremely unholy things this weekend.

Be extremely wary of sharing videos without verifying their sourcing. Plenty of AI videos, old videos & videos of things unrelated being posted. If someone isn't posting the source of the video, that doesn't help.

"Again and again, we were told this was only about keeping minors from accessing porn. Woodhull warned these vague and overly broad policies would also result in censorship, and the data bear this out. The current age-verification protocols are ripe for abuse, and educators are right to be scared."

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

I write with a broken heart. My child Ahmed is getting worse every day, and the virus is threatening his life if he does not receive treatment. I cannot afford his treatment, and only £100 remains to save him. Your donation is his lifeline. Please don’t let him die 💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

Manufacturers are coming for state right-to-repair laws www.wired.com/story/tech-c...

73% of sex educators are concerned that age-verification laws will impact their work, practice, or resources, according to preliminary results from our national survey of sex educators and other sexual health professionals released today.

I have a very full April. Two community trainings. One full workshop day. And that doesn't include the virtual stuff and client work. 🫠

The Colorado Times Recorder reports on ICE’s sprawling network of unofficial detention sites:

Goodness the quality of fabrics & clothing in general has gone down. Trying to find some basics & spend 30 minutes reading reviews & even brands who have historically had good quality have tanked. I'm checking Adidas, Nike, Under Armour for walking/running leggings. Across the board, disappointing.

Inching there; 260/500 by Saturday. This goal covers about 1 week's worth of top-ups.

The universe has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

It's a shitty ruling. No question. And I know "court reform" sounds like something Democrats won't ever do and perhaps that is also true. But I refuse to let ADF win by default because everyone thinks the fight is over. Our way out of most of this *waves hands around* horseshit is court reform.

Samara Joy is such a beautiful voice and soul. If you're into jazz at all, highly recommend.

Tell me something that is good or brought you joy or you did for fun. Need a pick-me-up.

Instead of reading coverage of Trump’s new executive order on mail voting that just repeats his words as though it’s obviously now law and what is going to happen, check out @rickhasen.bsky.social electionlawblog.org?p=155187

Gaza is full of sad and very painful stories that no one sees. Gaza is sad, devastated, and miserable. All I wish for is a small glimmer of happiness to break the silence of its sorrow.

My friends, I am Saeed to be in touch with you again from the depths of pain and destruction. Here is a message from me and my family to you. Please read it, donate, and share our voice. Thank you. 👇👇 northeastbylines.co.uk/news/world-n...

Our home in North Gaza was destroyed by war. We lost everything. Now my little daughter is very sick and getting worse day by day. 😔 Donations have stopped and I fear for her life. 🤲 We need 300€ for treatment. Even a small donation can help Please don’t leave my child💔 chuffed.org/project/1565...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operates 14 holding rooms across California and 170 across the nation that function like unofficial detention facilities, according to data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and analyzed by Colorado Times Recorder. The full report on lataco.com

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

High level of tree jizz today.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge orders Trump administration to halt construction of $400 million White House ballroom unless Congress OKs plan.

Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenter in the conversion therapy case 😞 It's so upsetting, and I just want to remind folks that Trans Lifeline is a resource you should take advantage of right now if you need it. Your life is precious. +1-877-565-8860 translifeline.org

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

strugggggling all my work is free please consider sharing and/or tipping me ask yourself what you've done for trans girls todayyy

It's Trans Day of Visibility. I'm gonna be honest. It is rough out there right now for all of us. If you want us to continue to BE visible, we need support. Go Fund Me's. Direct support. Buying works by trans authors. (I am one of those, please buy upcoming comics that I wrote!!)
