There are four more students from Liam's MN school district in federal detention in Dilley, TX, two of them from the same school as Liam. A second grader, a fourth grader, a fifth grader, and a high-schooler.

they should invent a kind of being online that doesn't involve posting about how much earlier you were to a "cause" than everyone else

the fact is that very few cis journalists really paid attention to the first part of the anti-trans campaigning when it was happening and now most people only seeing the aftermath of what happened and go "did trans rights go too far?"

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

good morning to Ilhan Omar only

Someday we won't talk about the NYT ever again, and Mayor Mamdani will turn their building into a publicly owned mixed-use oasis, and bring back SegaWorld, and our children will tell stories about "The Old Gray Lady who still cries in the hallways if you listen close late at night"

gofundme's for toddlers kidnapped by our own government

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Update: The minibus that included HHS funding passed the House without any anti-trans riders. This almost guarantees the HHS bill will pass the Senate with no anti-trans riders. A huge victory for trans people despite tons of anti-trans attack ads.

Each city has developed different tactics to fight ICE but we are also learning from each other. They will lose in Minneapolis and they will try to take another city, but they will be starting from behind because we will have learned from our northern siblings and gotten stronger in the meantime.

West philly has the best genders

always nonbinary ppl don't owe u androgyny never what do you owe nonbinary ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This is such killer reporting from @rascal.news. I became a paying Rascal subscriber like halfway through reading it

Macrodosing T to finally nip this rapid onset gender dysphoria in the bud once n for all

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Trying the ol' "Pweaze mister pwesident, weave us awone" again

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

I'm just a girl, a girl & a girl, hovering ethereally behind a boy, asking him—for the love of all that is unholy—to please be more careful with that hag eye I gifted you! Idiot. Chapter 6 of Curse of Strahd weighs heavier on the heart than it does on the hands. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I'm a reporter hoping to connect with LGBTQ+ people who are struggling with their healthcare costs right now; like folks enrolled in ACA plans whose premiums have sharply increased. Also glad to talk with uninsured folks.  please hmu! Signal is @orionr.80 or DM me

bluesky is hands down the best app to mute people on

If we're honest, the loudest online scolds aren't organizing. People who are organizing are too tired to scold people online.

Conductor keeps calling it “the triple six” as if we don’t all know we’re on the mark of the beast train

My fave literary genre? Two words: Dark

So tired of the narrative that people who didn’t like OBAA don’t know how to watch movies. Some of us are just haters

there should be a pulitzer prize for sentences

It’s very difficult to hear Walz ask the people of Minnesota to not turn to “violence” when the state has already turned to violence, repeatedly, yesterday and today…

we should’ve just kept asking Jeeves

it’s clarifying to know these people would be fine with ICE killing you so long as it was within policy

no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies
