UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Vought guts department of special education www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n... "This is decimating the office responsible for safeguarding the rights of infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities," said one department employee, who requested anonymity for fear of retribution. Vought is evil.

The only problem that the regular state and local police have with ice and the other alphabet federal "police" is that they are jealous that the feds have permission to do what the locals have always wanted to do.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.  Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

ICE is completely out of control. Many of them have no idea what they are doing or why. Not at all an excuse for their behavior, but shows how incompetently they are being managed by the Chump admin. Miller, Noem et al.

I have a few mutuals with this account. It replies again and again with the exact same reply in posts about trans issues/Gavin Newsom. Please vet. bsky.app/profile/1dia...

This remake of Cyrano stinks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

KONSYSE: Lucid dreamers tend to have a larger anterior prefrontal cortex—an area in the brain that enables self-reflection or metacognition. They are more likely to self-reflect and have a considerable degree of personal awareness when they are awake.

For all wannabe rhymers or frogs All inflatifa animals, cats and dogs Silliness and fun drives fascists mad Show your joy, dont be sad Dancing and singing dont look like a warzone Party for ICE and send them home Dont be tempted, dont play their game Send them giggling, or full of shame 🦝🥳🦁🥳🐺🐶🐼🥳🐭🐸🐔

“Shame! Shame! Free the Squirrel! Free the Squirrel” Back in the gang ridden streets of Portland, ICE just arrested a girl wearing a “dangerous” inflatable Squirrel without provocation. She’s fallen several times having been cuffed and pushed to walked faster than the suit will allow. #Portland

It's been a long week. Rest here, weary creative. You deserve it.

🧵 When I draw I am greatly influenced by Irish mythology, culture & landscape. This is my photo of Kerry where, ancient the Bohan’s lived for a thousand years. You can’t escape your past, as you can see in my art as you scroll down this thread & see my one-off ink on paper drawings [1]

If ICE was doing to unlicensed pets—dogs and cats—what they’re doing to human beings, the outrage would be exponentially more ferocious

Being a magat is like being a cigarette smoker. Whatever stupid reason you had for starting doesn't matter. You are still doing it. And whatever excuse you have for continuing, it is a made-up rationalization. And you look stupid and stink to anyone with a functional brain.

www.propublica.org/article/epa-... Darya Minovi pointed to that pending change as a motivation for not publishing the PFNA study. “If you’re trying to roll back drinking water standards, you probably don’t want to release information that makes the case for why those standards are necessary,”

Each week, we release the Lavender Ledger, covering stories that crossed our desk that other journalists got to before us. These are the biggest stories this week that you did not see at EITM. This week's LavLedge covers UK trans wait times, a NY roller derby legal victory, and fake SCOTUS cases.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

I have litmus test issues for anyone I vote for. If they don't pass, they don't get my vote. The criteria is pretty basic, too. Civil equality of trans/LGBTQ people Civil rights of immigrants Civil equality of minorities Reproductive healthcare & body autonomy Must be proud to fight fascism

Pew poll finds just 31% of parents accept their trans kids. Crucial to dialog around GAC which focuses on affirming parents. This is directly _opposite_ a 2023 WashPo/KKF poll 2023 (tinyurl.com/ph5u6pnh) which found two-thirds of transppl said families were supportive. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

DOJ files against renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for fraudulent billing over use of GAMT drugs off-label. Off-label uses are common, particularly in pediatrics. CHOP is one of largest GAC providers but has announced it is closing its program. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

“It’s assumed that trans people are going to be fined, arrested or kicked out of places when in reality it’s the [public] entity that takes on the burden.” SB 8 targets schools, libraries and other venues, allowing the state to "investigate" and levy massive fines.

“I’ll kill you in front of your students.” This is just one of the death threats that has driven @mark-bray.bsky.social to try and flee the US. But at the airport last night, after checking in and clearing security, his booking mysteriously disappeared www.wired.com/story/mark-b...
