I cannot stress enough how much anyone who complains about the government spending money to give new parents free diapers should never know one single moment of peace

In the past week, the Trump regime has sought the names of every trans kid in NYC, passed a rule that trans people must out themselves to buy firearms, and said trans people are akin to terrorists who will be "identified, mapped and neutralized". Where is the coverage? Where is the goddamn outrage?

#BREAKING: Full Supreme Court *grants* stays pending appeal in mifepristone case; preserves nationwide access to remote/mail dispensation of the drug. Only Justices Thomas and Alito publicly dissent.

as first reported by the seattle gay news: www.sgn.org/story/166221...

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

You: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok People: hi Me: ‘Exit, Pursued By A Bear’ is generally considered to be the most famous of Shakespeare’s stage directions – leading up to the offstage death of Antigonus in The Winter’s Tale. And thinking about it always cracks me up

The grand jury subpoena of NYU has been released. It appears that feds want the name and identifying information of every trans youth care patient. This is just one of 15 extreme demands from the hospital. We released the full subpoena on our site. Read our latest from our writer S. Baum.

an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land

Talking to your kids about death—especially for the first time—can be a little intimating, but I believe in you, parents! And here are some things to think thorugh as you approach that conversation.

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

Chicagoland has seen a steady pace of ICE sighting + abduction alerts all week. After one person was taken in Waukegan yesterday, this morning feds are dispersed broadly across the burbs again. Seen in Round Lake Beach and Joliet so far. A worker was snatched at a Bolingbrook Burger King at 5:30am.

Hello, I'm on the academic lit search again - is there any writing out there on trans lives* in Northern Ireland? Thank you! * specifically trans people, I've found tons of great sources on LGB people. @hleehurley.com

WELP! We're all transgender extremists now, at least according to the White House, which we regret to inform you has been taken over by far-right extremists. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The extermination phase of genocide doesn't start with the state doing the murder, it starts with independent groups who want easy targets the state does not care about. Soon after the state will point to the violence as justification, announcing the public also wants the outgroup eradicated.

It's important to avoid falling into a doom hole but we must also recognize the continued dehumanizing rhetoric and constant naming of trans people as an enemy of the state emboldens stochastic fascist terrorism and attacks on us. Fascist "non state" actors, to be precise. Be vigilant, darlings.

Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

They aren't banning it for "LGBTQ" history ties. They are banning it for its trans history, specifically. They are banning an instumental piece with no words because it was written in honor of Marsha P. Johnson.

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live" Stencils around Melbourne in solidarity with Chamel Abdulkarim, a warehouse worker accused of setting his workplace in California ablaze last month.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May LGBTQnation Three Dem Senators --Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) -- send letter to DOG calling on administration to reverse new policy banning GAC for BOP inmates even if they use private funding.

Most people don’t fully appreciate how much more money billionaires have, compared to millionaires. It’s because human beings aren’t great at conceptualizing extremely large figures. Here’s a useful illustration 1 million seconds = 12 days 1 billion seconds = 31 YEARS Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

There are few things more difficult than departing from meeting with a client in I.C.E. detention. Wasn’t even permitted to speak with her because I didn’t have the funds to pay associated fees beforehand. To be clear, this is illegal. The Right to Counsel is clear. But the Rule of Law is dead. 🇺🇸

Anybody else notice the guys who say it's "inevitable" Goodwife Putnam hang as a witch "so get used to it" are the same bros who only a few months ago were saying Sarah Browne the scullery maid hath spake bedeviling words in a tomcat's ear to make him walk on two legs in mockery of Christian man?

would anyone be interested in either something written or podcast about the great transgender migration that's going on right now that no one is really talking about. i feel like no one outside of the trans community knows about this at all

David Lynch's and @markfrost.bsky.social's The Princess Bride. (Really, how fun, dark, lovely, and strange would that be?!? Or my next choice for them might be Orlando. That'd be fascinating.)

Came home late to the news a majority of major outlets are mostly flat out not reporting: trans people labeled by our government a terrorist group and threatens to kill them all. I should have called these prejudiced fucks out everyday.

Going to Selma Saturday? It’s time to let your voice be heard. #goodtrouble

Taxing billionaires out of existence is the moderate position.

The billionaires should get on their knees and thank us that all we’re asking for is higher taxes and not guillotines

TLDR: The judge openly accused DOJ of misleading the court in Texas, forum shopping, and conducting a fishing expedition without a coherent criminal theory. It's pretty clear she will grant the motion to quash.

The Rhode Island case covering efforts to quash subpoenas from Texas to a Rhode Island children's hospital for the medical records of trans youth is being live streamed here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfSZ...

Aquarius: The stars aren't laughing at you. They're just sort of, you know, laughing in your direction. Specifically your direction. Hey, they could be laughing at something right behind you. You don't know.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May CICnews Canada is now providing trans Americans with Canadian ancestry expedited processing of citizenship applications, some in as little as 2 weeks as thousands have applied in order to have a back-up to their U.S. citizenship.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May Reed In serious escalation, NYU Langone becomes first hospital known to get _criminal_ subpoena for GAC records, from US Attorney and grand jury in Northern Texas, 2k miles away. Previous subpoenas for data have been civil, and some blocked by fed judges.

Age verification fundamentally expands data collected on all users. Alhough pitched as a common-sense policy to protect children online, it erodes safety for all users. Age verification will require users to hand over data before being granted access to online spaces. WTF?

Dr. Oz said moms need to be healthy enough for “the most creative thing the universe knows — making babies.” Not healthy enough to live full lives. Not healthy enough to thrive. Just healthy enough to reproduce. That’s the entire maternal health agenda in one sentence.

The Heritage Foundation’s new “family” document gives the game away. This isn’t just about abortion. It’s about enforcing a narrow vision of who gets rights, who gets care, and who gets to live freely. www.importantcontext.news/p/heritage-f...

Anyone who cares about reproductive care access should be extremely alarmed. They could easily do the same to abortion providers in blue states. They are testing this out on trans people hoping most people won't care enough about it to stop it.

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...
