Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

1. A transgender woman let legislators know she intended to use the bathroom in the Florida Capitol. A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door. When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

Today’s Transgender Day of Visibility. Trans people are strong, powerful, + have always existed. But w/ increased visibility, political backlash has also increased. That’s on full display w/ the introduction of state laws that would require public school employees to “out” LGBTQ+ students.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I see you and <3 you

Yep

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban. May we have congresspeople with an ounce of the courage.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners. Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious. We cannot stay silent.

Shame on the NH State Legislature for passing 5 anti-LGBTQ+ bills today, overwhelmingly designed to block transgender + gender non conforming people from public life. And we are so proud of the transgender + allied state reps who brought real, powerful stories to the House floor in speeches today.

Palestinians are not why Tr*mp is President. He was elected because a majority of white people who vote keep voting for him. That sucks, I know. But it's true. In case, people don't know, white people still make up the majority of people in the U.S.

If they outlaw bans on conversion therapy and allow bans on evidence-based medical care, I don't know if you can escape the conclusion that we now live in a theocracy, where what is legal depends not on the constitution but on the narrow conservative Christian interpretation of their religion.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Might save a life.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Next week we’re facing an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ+, especially anti-trans, bills at the state house. @reproequitynow.bsky.social @nhyouthmovement.bsky.social

1. Protests have erupted at multiple hospitals across the United States that have decided to comply with Trump's executive order banning trans care under 19. Now, a lawsuit challenges that EO. Writer Mira Lazine writes about the importance of the protests. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Damn, that sure puts our horrific gun violence epidemic into perspective, doesn't it?

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️ link: translifeline.org/donate/

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

As @janinebaer.bsky.social notes, this is a great list of folks who should all be in solidarity together, so.. there's that?

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

Whether you’re a regular testifier at the State House or a community member newly wondering how you can stop harmful bills without showing up at the State House in the middle of the week, this is the call for you!

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Now this is important. We knew, but this most reliable confirmation is devastating.

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I keep seeing headlines calling her a “crusader” and an “activist,” and I would like to kindly request that those news outlets fuck off into the sun. Anita Bryant was a homophobic conservative who literally ruined multiple generations of LGBTQIA+ people’s lives.

Watch and share this Biden press conference. The people of California need to know what's being done, how to find resources & see how competent leadership can coordinate when there is a disaster. The level of devastation is mammoth, so the response has to be comprehensive. www.whitehouse.gov/live/

Rami needs the community's help, every share could land their family on the TL of someone in a good position to donate. You never know! Let's do all we can to ensure their post can be seen. Rami's family deserves freedom and safety. #GazaGFM #HelpSky #MutualAid #GazaFunds

I.. what (!)

Earlier this year I said that Trump has groomed to accept his outrages. We are doing it now. When a nation’s leader threatens to seize the largest infrastructure asset of a sovereign nation, attempts to increase support for toppling the existing leader of an adjacent foreign country, and announces…

Folks, you have really got to read this one. @miralazine.bsky.social focuses on trans voices and gives us all reason for hope.
