this is the most infuriating part of the harry potter discourse - if you're going to watch it, then watch it, god knows millions of people played the stupid game but if you know enough to be aware of the issues, you don't get to ask trans people to absolve you

Most mainstream discussion of trans rights boils down to cis people being angry trans people are continuing to call attention to all the increasingly harsh, discriminatory measures targeting us. "Don't you people understand we've already decided your lives don't matter?" is the subtext.

We wake up today to a world at war and economies on the brink, all driven by a deranged US leader who promotes racism, misogyny, corruption and predation. The nyt waged a hate campaign against trans ppl that directly lifted this evil man to power. This is the nyt legacy

Time to sign up for the What's Next After No Kings call!

Im not someone who is cynical about the No Kings protest. It’s a nice show of solidarity & great way to connect with others. But the question is; what are you doing now? What action are you taking to fight for your community going forward? Or are you simply waiting till the next protest or election?

Will you join us in fighting to protect trans workers? Read on in the thread to find out what the issue is and why you should write to your MP about it. Write to your MP using our handy 'Write To Your MP' tool at actionnetwork.org/letters/fix-...

I am unsure if this is a request or an offer…

“3d” printing is actually just 2 dimensions done many times over.

BREAKING: Now that all the journalists have been successfully killed in Gaza, the IDF says it has moved on to the important task of killing all of the journalists in Lebanon ♥️

This is what they are doing to NORWEGIANS, y’all — the very immigrants Trump claims to want more of. Imagine what they are doing to everyone else.

If you’re wondering how these malicious transphobes are able to throw their weight around so easily with numerous threatening ‘lawfare’ cases, it’s because billionaire JK Rowling is funding them! 😖 Buying/ watching anything Harry Potter related directly helps fund this hate!

Like whatever you think of No Kings surely we can come together and agree that there is no type of protest that the NYT would find acceptable, it simply does not exist

I finally bought new wading boots because the ones I’ve been using have been wetted and dried so many times that the fabric has shrank to the point they hurt my feet. Unfortunately they made the classic mistake of thinking sizes from one company are going to be anything like another company.

A Palestinian boy walked in Jerusalem, Israeli policeman saw him and beat him

One of the telling things for me is how consistent the messaging has been over the years that affecting cis women should be the motivator to oppose these policies, and yet trans women being fully pushed out of sports has been almost ignored as an injustice.

This is just obfuscation of what’s clearly annexation of a massive portion of Lebanon.

thus proving whales are among the most intelligent creatures on earth

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

I don't think trans people should be imprisoned for 5 years because they have to pee

Bullseye. “We are journalists, not activists,” Jeremy Peters and other marquee Times journalists bellowed when trans Times Guild members complained, in 2023, about the paper's coverage. To pick a fight with the AMA about the content of the AMA's own position, though, seems really activist!

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

If you combine these testing requirements along with the new visa bans in the US targeting female athletes, there's a nonzero chance that an accusation against an athlete at the 2028 games results in ICE detaining them, placing them with men in detention and deporting them.

So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.

Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement. The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.

BREAKING: When the governor signs this bill, transgender people can be charged with a felony for using a public bathroom in Idaho. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril

The IDF statement sounds like parody but it’s real: “The toddler was brought by a Hamas operative into a dangerous area to be used as a human shield.”

Reminder as everyone — correctly — talks about ICE in airports that armed troops are still walking around and that Trump plans to keep them here for the rest of his time in office.

"Taps are running dry because water pumps depend on the failing power grid. Sanitation is getting worse. And food is becoming harder to find, according to the top United Nations official in Cuba."

Reminds me- early in the Gaza response at USAID, my colleague was tasked by USAID response leadership with providing the location of our NGO partners in Gaza to the IDF, ostensibly for "deconfliction." Those locations were soon struck by the IDF.

Sure, there's only one transfeminine olympian, but there are countless trans women around the world who need to be reminded they are not welcome in any communal space where authority on gender is officialized and policed, and that's the real point of these bans.

Section 702 lets the government spy on Americans’ communications without a warrant. Now Congress is debating renewing it for several years. We must not let that happen without major reforms. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain and learn how you can help: freedom.press/reform-section-702

we’re not going to get anywhere until we stop letting companies pay millions in settlements instead of putting their leadership in fucking jail

"A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal."

Democrats couldnt even go a day before digging back down into the homophobia mines. Fucking disgusting. And you expect me to vote for “MAGA 2, but blue”? Fuck you.

The last time Israel, in either a civilian or military criminal court, indicted a Jew for the murder of a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank was 2019.

8 months later and after more than another 120 Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank, Jeffries finally becomes a cosponsor of the West Bank Violence Prevention Act, introduced by Nadler in April 2025.

Settler violence has long been a systemic problem in Palestine, but the sheer brazenness of the latest attacks have compelled even the most pro-Israel members of Congress to say something. Saying something is one thing, doing something is another. Cosponsor Block The Bombs

Correct. There's also a great way to verify this before Lander even enters office: Goldman is the incumbent and isn't a cosponsor of the Block The Bombs Act, Lander isn't even elected yet but has vowed to cosponsor that bill.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar PinkNews Modi's right wing BJP party responds to recent court rulings expanding trans rights by enacting new restrictions on who can be legally considered trans, imposing medical exams. Other parties walked out in protest during the vote.

Not like people haven't died as a result of prior sex testing regimes leading to blackmail, harassment, violence, and suicide.

👀

NYC Council sent out a press alert that they’ll be voting on their buffer bills tomorrow. Announcement makes clear these bills are specifically taking aim at protests against illegal land sale events at synagogues. Language also curiously seems to pitch the bills as a sort of punishment on NYPD.

Israel is torturing literal babies.

Democrats-MAGA, but blue!

The San Diego Co. Sheriff cut a deal with CoreCivic giving the company the authority to decide whether to investigate rape allegations at its Otay Mesa ICE facility. “When a matter requires law enforcement intervention, we refer it to the appropriate authorities,” a CoreCivic spokesperson said.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)
