For those that don't know, today is #Transgender Day of Remembrance. It's a day when we remember those that died forgotten by history, before they could live authentically, or as a result of hate. This year I am lighting a candle for Saint Marinos, a trans man venerated in Eastern Orthodoxy. #TDoR

no! mourning! war criminals!

Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. It has bubbled up near homes and a school — and it has killed farmers’ crops and ranchers’ calves. Help ProPublica and @readfrontier.bsky.social understand the full scale of the problem 👇

For all you "nonbinary people are exempt from transphobia" asshats, now we can't escape the US if we have an X gender marker. www.gtlaw-insidebusinessimmigration.com/u-s-customs-...

The Education Department has hired at least 9 people from the America First Policy Institute, co-founded by Secretary Linda McMahon. The think tank’s listed goals include ending the separation of church and state and “plant[ing] Jesus in every space.”

THE HAT IS ALMOST AT 20%!! Can we make it before the end of the day???

In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million from an emergency food assistance program that delivered meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks across the country. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning.

If you see this, quote with your top 4 Final Fantasy games.

I would really like to be able to exist without my socials being shared in transphobic hate groups on Facebook and mocked. Is that too much to ask? #trans

Good news, everybody 🖤

NEW: Some 4 million people in the U.S. could lose federal housing assistance under new plans from the Trump administration, say experts who reviewed drafts of two unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Insomnia sucks.

A lot of stuff is going on in the world, but I have so much love in my life. It's wonderful. I love my found family.

I'm not someone who's ever felt comfortable owning a gun, but anyone who's known me long enough knows I've advocated for any trans person that feels comfortable doing so to arm up, if for no other reason than to keep armed fascists who want us dead never certain we'll be easy targets. This is bad.

If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.

One of the worst things in American journalism is how thoroughly it is dominated by the hive mind that launched politico and ran its earliest days: Maggie Haberman, Glenn Thrush, Ben Smith, Dylan Byers and a few more. They are the plastics from Mean Girls.

Nothing Dylan Byers loves more than defending the status quo. Back in 2016 he said it was true that HRC was hiding from the media because a press conference at the association of black journalists didn’t count

The problem of loneliness is the system that separates everyone from their communities so they are more desperate and lonely. This causes them to A) spend money on shit they don't need for dopamine and B) accept basement wages that they can't live comfortably on. It's not a bug; it's a feature.

In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.

The only way this works is if Dems do nothing, considering that most traditionally dem-leaning states out-populate most gop-leaning states. So...it might work.

Public health experts warn that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s leadership crisis—sparked by the White House’s efforts to oust CDC director Susan Monarez—could jeopardize national biosecurity, pandemic preparedness and disease outbreak surveillance

"I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE that movie."

When people try to praise Gavin Newsom out of one side of his mouth with his dick covered in contempt for homeless and/or trans people stuck in the other side, this is the guy I wish they listened to and cared about. Or Tim Walz. Or Gretchen Whitmer. The list of better choices goes on.

Name a non LOTR character who could resist the one ring.

Bush is **LITERALLY** part of how we got here. Literally.

The new blue maga thing I saw this morning is to say everyone criticizing Hakeem Jeffries is not real but a bot. I’m sure this will work out well for them.

Of course the fascists don’t understand makeup, lighting, or pacing. Also, “that guy you saw the masked men beat unconscious while he screamed for his mother drove without a license” isn’t a compelling argument.

We all know this was part of the ESPN/NFL Network deal. ESPN’s journalistic integrity has been going downhill for a long time, but this is really pathetic.

IT'S A TRAP

I'm sitting here thinking, "these cats have a better transit system than I do in Boston" 😭

You can’t see the criming, it’s just off camera. Lots of crime. Non stop.

NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social

Mayor Bowser on Trump’s takeover—“How we got here or what we think about the circumstances—right now we have more police, and we want to make sure we use them”—is such a perfect summary of how such an embrace of policing is exactly how we got here, while refusing to consider that.

Non-sexual turn-on? Info-dumping about a hyperfocus.

This is bullshit. They know if they paid everyone they exploited a living wage then their billions would disappear. They're only billionaires BECAUSE OF THE EXPlOITATION. All this bullshit is just Lucy holding the football for dumbass Charlie Brown Dems who fall for it every time.

If you’re a politician who thinks a “Sister Souljah moment” is the key to winning in 2028, first, let me congratulate you on waking up from your decades-long coma

NEW: Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.
