Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.

Update: The ISS has suffered a massive estradiol leak. All the astronauts are now women. NASA cannot reach them because they're too busy making out.

Happy Indigenous peoples day! narf.org

If any of these names in this post or the following post are your representative(s), please call their office to demand that they stop sponsoring censorship bills that make the world more unsafe.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself. One day, the meaning of labels will disappear. Please love yourself as you are. The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself. Because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you

Fun fact, last year New York State overwhelmingly voted in favor of updating the state constitution to protect additional classes of people and forms of expression, including transgender people and expression. I laugh anytime Republicans try to claim that most NYers want bigotry.

This article is spot on about the UK's descent into anti-trans hysteria. In 8 years, they went from the conservatives trying to make it easier for trans folks to self attest gender to a liberal government implementing a bathroom ban by fiat. www.liberalcurrents.com/britains-bat...

"Slipping through the cracks" is misleading. I was shoved through them. I cannot conform to a society that weighs the value of lives. Determines and evaluates the usefulness of living beings. It's always felt horribly wrong.

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion. It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community. www.erininthemorning.com/p/pew-survey...

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh Anyway, back to toiling

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

We just barely made rent thanks to everyone who helped us out. Unfortunately, literally the day my partner was going back to work, the clutch gave out on their car and it won’t go into gear anymore. A few bucks or a share would go a long way. 🐾💜 Venmo: @tinker_the_prol CashApp: $tinkertheprol

the "post-modern fascism" label is appropriate because this really is all about spectacle and symbolic shows of violence and control removed from larger context. it's no less brutal, but also built off the notion that they truly do believe they can meme their way into the permanent white ethnostate

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

ST just updated with more details, most importantly at this time CFD statement immediately challenges their narrative of this victim driving herself to the hospital. They claim she was found (and is in fair condition):

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too. Sorry, but fuck that.

New fit :3 do you like it?

honestly it was pretty funny when the right was pretending that charlie kirk was a revolutionary civil rights leader when his whole deal was barely winning arguments with children

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime. With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

Watch the military NDAA fight closely. There’s a lot of anti-trans provisions in the NDAA and I’m watching it for hints on what an eventual funding deal for fy26 might look like. How much will Dems push back on the bathroom ban, tricare ban, and more?

NEW: THREAD: Just a small collection of propaganda emails sent by the regime to federal employees who have sent them to me on the condition of anonymity. First, we all saw the HUD banner from Tuesday morning. 1/

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

Trans people: can we have rights? GOP: no because then we won't be able to torture and kill our children for not being cis Centrists: No because it's not transphobic to say you should be closeted Liberals: No, this is how we lose, we need a big tent Leftists: Stop whining, we have real problems

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Please boost: this month, I chipped a molar and spent much of the month in pain as a result. It's fixed, but the fix was *expensive*, even with insurance. A lot of friends have helped out already (thank you so much) and we're at 21% of my goal, but there's a lot to go. Please help if you can! 💙💙

Whitmer declares October “transgender empowerment month.” AG Nessel and the Michigan govt have yet to force state hospitals capitulating to Trump to return to providing trans youth care. I feel like this message is empty, and will only serve as right wing rage bait while delivering nothing.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier: There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels. Both are part of negotiations right now.

A friend of mine mentioned wanting to get ColliderDrop to work with other prefabs..

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

ultimately the way this world treats trans women as utterly disposable even despite so often sounding the alarm early for abuse done, and people not listening or mocking it, is why my politics are so concerned with their wellbeing and political subjectivity

Nobody who joins ICE has ever had friends, enjoyed sex, or made another person happy in any way. They’re miserable bastards and they only want to spread their misery, to offload it. They will fail at this, too. Their misery will just get worse. I have scientific proof of this.

MLK: "First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate...the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice"

ICE is doing forced labor and sexual assault of transgender people in their detention centers, reads a new complaint.

We've launched a new report at Erin In The Morning: The Lavender Ledger, your strategic LGBTQ+ reader, covering the stories that we passed on because someone else covered it better than us. Here is our first one!

I wrote about Trump's new executive orders targeting "antifa" and how they are paper tigers that rely on preemptive compliance in order to achieve their goals. www.thedissident.news/trumps-paper...
