Fuck, they’re going to put Riley Gaines in charge.

The NYT is not responsible for the opinions it publishes. US soldiers are not responsible for the deaths of the children it kills. The Empire is not responsible for its actions. The Empire's citizens are not responsible for supporting imperial institutions.

so the GOP has been trying to gut our minor medical consent statute ever since they learned it exists during trans ban hearings. it took them 3yrs, but they seem to have finally figured out how to avoid drafting variations of the Louisiana Just Stand Around Watching Kids Die In Car Wrecks Act

i wonder how it feels to write this genre of shit, just like yeah no you can only learn what capital wants you to learn, that's normal and good, ship it

imagine being one of the five department of education workers just chilling in your office trying to win anime horsegirl races on your phone and all of a sudden it goes dark and a gigantic charlie kirk face is leering at you through your window

what's next? sledding? tobogganing? dear god...LUGE? it truly is a slippery slope

Mamdani has shown he’ll respond if there’s enough noise. People are going to die if the cowardice of these hospitals holds. Will Mamdani as mayor step up to the promises of Mamdani as candidate? Related: Rally to protect trans kids’ healthcare this afternoon at 1pm at Langone.

i only got one single compliment on this at the bar today in case anyone's in the dark about how fucked the world is (from a guy a table over watching the premier league match wearing a leeds jersey and blue suede onitsuka tigers dictating hilariously good foreign policy opinions at his friends)

HOLY FUCK

💀💀💀

i allowed the bsky android client to update itself against my better judgment because y'all were singing the siren song of drafts but just like always it was a joker's trick to make my app Worse

the fact that he replied x5, deactivated, reactivated, blocked, and is now apparently still going without contesting this assumption is a solid indicator the assumption was correct. it would've been super easy to lie like "no i meant broadly stop caring so much about everything going on, all of it."

A lot of Democrats view the LGBTQ+ community in general, and the trans community in particular, as an arm of the party. That is likely because many of our orgs have acted as if they're an arm of the party. But we're not an arm of the Democratic party, and no one should act like we are.

post-deactivation reply: i'm a trans activist, not a dem activist. i want dems to be pressured to support us bc i need dems to feel pressured to support us. that they haven't been is why we're at where we're at. you're an expert in how govt works? i'm an expert in making govt work. 1/2

regularly warring against states without nuclear weapons seems like a bad way to convince states without nuclear weapons not to develop nuclear weapons as quickly as possible

That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

BREAKING: Israeli air strikes have targeted Blat and Wadi Barghouti in several attacks across southern Lebanon’s Iqlim al-Tuffah region, marking the latest violation of a ceasefire reached in November 2024 between Israel and Hezbollah aje.news/rfb3rn

Writing the alternative version where Schumer spends 6 months workshopping a tweet like "Trump keeps focusing on the LGBT, instead of the BLT. Which is a more expensive sandwich than it used to be."

"does anybody have any ideas for new bills" needs to be shoved into the ro khanna cycle diagram

A judge just tossed out Columbia University's disciplinary actions against 22 students over the 2024 Hamilton Hall occupation, finding the school relied on sealed arrest records and held individuals responsible for group actions, violating its own rules. iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/Documen...

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

"even if a record isn't flagged as having an updated gender" + "the applicant does not need to provide any documentation for the update" = i'm seeing some cheeky opportunities to be extremely obnoxious to extremely evil people here

Conde Nast just sold them.us to the parent company of Out, The Advocate, etc. so there goes like 95% of the trans staffers at the company (after they got rid of 2 of us in November <33)

Hey who wants me to post ridiculous ads from the January 21, 1999 issue of Rolling Stone

now ive heard there was a secret trick that Spike Jonze shot and it was sick but you don't really care for skating, do ya? it goes like this, nollie hardflip the frontside blunt into mctwist the fisheye lens composing hallelujah

Medical sources in Gaza say that at least seven Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip since this morning.

What if the centre ground of Sensible Politics was vacated not because anyone went crazy, but because it’s a polluted, malarial swamp that will swiftly kill anyone trying to occupy it? What if defending the status quo just leaves you holding the bag for decades of farcical crimes against the public?

☉ Bighead will remember this.

Studios used to know that I wanted nothing more than to jump supernaturally with guns around a nonsense brutalist tower. Maybe one day they will learn it again.

in the park just now this guy came up to me and offered me a hit of his blunt. i smiled and told him no thanks and he huffed off saying "stop acting like you're a 10" ???

figured i'd check in on this to see how it's going and, well, ask your favorite attorney account if "legal information" and "legal advice" are interchangeable terms :)

the Kansas Department of Revenue, who revoked trans drivers licenses without delay, is run by Mark Burghart, appointed by Laura Kelly (D) and confirmed 38-1 by the KS Senate no known attempt at stalling, malicious compliance, challenging the legislature- someone needs to interview Burghart, Kelly

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program. Then Sinai followed a few days ago. There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

the kansas trans license revocation/bounty hunt law is the bill they introduced and passed through both chambers all in the same day, even! you'd think capitol beat reporters would be all over it for that novelty if nothing else. but trans, i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is somewhat self serving, but let me tell you, helping put me through the remainder of my schooling will have a net measurable effect greater than a lot of these orgs who will do 1 campaign, brag to funders, and just ignore the community for another year.

trust me, it's utterly unhelpful to give the lgbtq/trans nationals more money. if you want to financially support trans people do so locally or directly. if you can't find local organizing to support, i don't believe you, but you can give to @genderlib.com or TJFP: www.transjusticefundingproject.org
