When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

Democrat or Republican- if they are known abusers, they shouldn't hold office.

It shouldn’t be controversial to remove sexual abusers and pedophiles from any party. Releasing the files would only affirm what survivors already know and spare them from having to watch known abusers openly serving public offices without accountability.

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

Rachel Maddow’s commentary when Trump is president is like Adele dropping a new album after a brutal breakup. It just hits different.

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

My neck, my back Don't message me on slack

I’ll be chatting with Adam Shatz on Friday @cunyenglish.bsky.social about his comprehensive biography of Fanon, specifically his continuing influence on Black radical thought. Come through if you’re in NYC.

Rest in peace, queen. You had no idea how many times you have saved me in a Walmart bathroom.

How do you see a campaign like Mamdani’s going to community meetings, showing genuine curiosity about communities different from his own, while winning large margins, and still think this way? It's a genuine question!

Thanks to donations from followers, I was able to stock the fridge & pantry at my local community fridge. I’ve volunteered there for a year & I’m trying to do more regular hauls, esp with the weekly food drives winding down for the winter. None of us can do everything but all of us can do something.

Each year between November 13 – 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face. 🏳️‍⚧️

You just can't be welcoming to all if you welcome people that want to kill other people in the tent. This isn't even complicated or difficult.

All girls are princesses All boys are princes All nonbinary kids are princessos.

the people who brought you PizzaGate now arguing "actually, it's ephebophilia" because their favorite guy is in charge

Im telling you now, these people are more likely to say "actually paedophilia isn't that bad" than to say "we did wrong by voting for this guy".

Cw: Child Violence I was assaulted at 15 by the person who first assaulted me when I was 4. That shit fucked with me growing up. I hated my body for a very long time. I can tell you that 15 is still a child.

Shouting out to my fellow survivors on here. I know how hard it is to become a political pawn in political discourse. I see you, and I believe you. And I hope you are taking time to take care of yourself and holding some space to heal. I know this shit is triggering.

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

Nancy Mace is once again proving she doesn’t give a fuck about survivors.

It's always sad but unsurprising that once again, trans kids are not the primary voice in any policy about them.

can you name an actual difference between the beliefs of the killers about trans people and labour's health secretary?

With respect as I think you genuinely believe in this phone initiative, I would love to know what the Labour government is doing to make trans kids and adults safer, because I'm despairing. I'm a researcher of trans law and recently cowritten on trans childhoods in the current climate, if it helps.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

Honestly, this team would be a solution to legacy news media.

It's pretty cool that we've basically repealed the Affordable Care Act with no real plan for preventing a massive surge in costs and people going uninsured. Great country we've got.

Due to the organizing of LGBTQ & Palestinian activists fighting to end the genocide in Gaza, @hrc.org has confirmed it is no longer sponsored by weapons companies Northrop Grumman and RTX Corporation Out joint statement w/ @adalahjustice.bsky.social www.adalahjusticeproject.org/hrc-victory-...

this is a big deal

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk. Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans. Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need. Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest. See you tomorrow.

Here we go. ✨

The best thing you can do for yourself next year is to join an organization if you can.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

Gifting this article from The Atlantic by a judge appointed by Reagan, who is resigning so he can speak out about how Trump is destroying the rule of law. Must read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

Millions of people are waking up angry because they’re losing access to healthcare, and Democratic strategists will probably still be hung up on fewer than ten trans athletes. You see why that’s stupid now?

“Deciding to Win”? More like deciding to lose everyone’s healthcare.

There are people who are claiming that Mamdani's victory is a one-off deal, an non-replicable unicorn. These are folk who insist that what hasn't won yet is the only way to win in the future, and what has already just won can't possibly win. The old Democratic-consultant gaslight shuffle.

Maybe we need to stop pretending that these are centrists and just call them what they truly are: fascist enablers.

It's wild because I have to remind folks that my lived experiences as someone who presented as a woman didn't just ✨magically disappeared✨

You ever drunk dial your senator?
