So many people these days are afraid to stand up for trans folks... Not this gentleman. 🙌🙏💪👏👊👇

Breaking News: A woman sued oil and gas companies over her mother’s death in a heat wave. It's the first wrongful death case targeting fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming, experts said.

An incomplete list of Musk's accomplishments in government: 🚨disrupting critical HIV programs around the world 🚨harassing federal employees with insulting emails 🚨paralyzing national parks 🚨firing the scientists working to prevent bird flu Want to add to the list? Comment below!

ICE agents were waiting outside the immigration court to arrest Dylan - a Bronx high school student with no criminal record. This was an ambush. The Trump Admin is undermining due process to meet their enforcement quotas. Bring Dylan home now.

If you upload a pic of your cat on the bed, don't put "the handsomest boy!" in the fucking alt text. People with low vision will not understand wtf they're lookin at, so how can they engage with you? Tbh I understand why a large part of the #disabilitysky block y'all, ESPECIALLY when informed. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Trump International Hotel in NY 😂 TACO = Trump always chickens out

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

“I want you to remember this, every year Portland Police and police departments across the country keep asking for more and more money. If funding our police made our communities safer, we should be the safest city and country in the world,” Sandy Chung, Director of the ACLU of Oregon.

pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

we need a wario of the left

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fuck this fucking bullshit

People showing up for hearings at the Seattle Immigration Court this week are facing something new. Federal immigration agents wait in the courthouse hallways to arrest people if their deportation proceedings are dismissed by a judge.

Show a moment from TV/Film that broke your heart.

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives. Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

If you're wondering what might happen if you integrate AI heavily in an operating system especially if everything from energy, water and user comfort are a mandatory function and it becomes self aware... It's just the way they stop it that's ridiculous. Watch X-files series 1 episode 7.

As Andrew Cuomo emerges as the front-runner in New York City's mayoral race, several women who accused him of sexual harassment just three years ago say they feel betrayed and forgotten.

when i was a child, my family took CHIP and food stamps. this shaped my entire orientation toward government programs (positive) in a way most pundits don't have access to. and also, not to brag, but i think my siblings and i are proof that the ROI on feeding children is very high

Harvey Milk would've been 95 today. If.

Sometimes when there's police misconduct they say "there's just a few bad apples" but the situation is the exact opposite. The few honest cops who try to follow the law are aggressively and actively drummed out of the force.

A debate at city council last night about a budget amendment to increase fees on Uber/Lyft users led to this memorable exchange. Novick said he regretted allowing rideshare in Portland, Zimmerma bashed TriMet as “city’s largest homeless shelter," then Morillo had choice words for Zimmerman.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS allows Trump to fire members of NLRB and MSPB pending full appeal; doesn’t say whether it’s overruling Humphrey’s Executor; and asserts that the Federal Reserve can be distinguished. Three Democratic appointees publicly dissent in a feisty opinion by Justice Kagan, link to come.

The suspect had "over 800 separate files depicting content of child sex abuse."

Yesterday's marathon council meeting ended with a undeniable (yet drowsy) bang: The final amendment moved $1.9 million in new funding Mayor Keith Wilson had earmarked for police into the parks maintenance fund — which Wilson had proposed cutting by $7 million starting in July.

When I had my hysterectomy, I was told recovery would be quick because I was young, fit & otherwise healthy. They were wrong. The surgeon made an error and despite signs of post op bleeding, discharged me & went on vacation. When I returned to the ER, I was ignored & gaslit 🧵

The Onion just about nailed it. theonion.com/republican-i...

Rs dropped the manager’s amendment at 9pm. They’re planning to pass it through Rules shortly & through the full House TOMORROW MORNING w/out anyone understanding how the changes work & w/out any analysis of how it would affect people. Deliberately because they don’t want to wait for the analysis.

MURDER BUDGET

I’m so glad my Scottish boyfriend became a citizen when he did.

Holy holy crap, thank you to the folks at MyArcade for sending me this. What a cool device that plays like a dream.

This kind of goes with my theory that what Trump is doing is so heinous Democrats worry if they call it all out they'll look like the crazy ones. Given that mainstream media fact checkers always have their hair splitter fired up to call an accusation unfair, it's not an entirely irrational fear.

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

Block the trolls. Don’t argue with them. You won’t change their minds. They just want to take your energy and wear you down. Don’t give that to them. This isn’t Twitter.

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.
