1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

@50501sacramento.bsky.social, I could not convince an 80 year old from picking up their 80 year old friend by the Capitol tomorrow at 10:20am. 🙁 Many senior/disabled residents live nearby in public housing. They may be trapped or confused by activities on June 14. Protestors, please keep them safe.

Disgusted with the hypocritical objections to the Mexican flag at protests against Trump's gestapo tactics destroying lives of immigrants and citizens alike. "Think about the optics"? Stick that racism in a Cinco de Mayo party cupcake. Full citizenship rights for all immigrants! #abolishICE

Ok let me put this as bluntly as I can for the people who think "foreign flags" are sending the wrong message. When you see someone wearing a Liverpool FC or Argentina men's team jersey, do you tell them to get a USMNT jersey because Fox News might show them in a "foreign" kit?

Remembering this trans man for Pride. Mexican Revolutionary Amelio Robles Ávila, who threatened to shoot anyone who misgendered him and said "he did not want to die without being known as a man,” lived his life as a man after transitioning. One of Zapata’s top commanders. We have always been here.

Print is used in many interesting, unusual ways, including by Leslie Nichols, an artist who creates her work on a manual typewriter, creating portraits of women using a variety of relevant appropriated texts relevant to the subject's life... #ReframingWomenPrintmakers
