New from me: Who gets to be seen as fully human? Who gets to exist? As the MAGA Regime escalates its war on marginalized communities, it's on all of us to show up for trans kids and their families. www.altrightdelete.news/p/humanity-a...

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

Donald Trump should be in jail right now, but instead America put him back into office so he could do gestures all of this. But supposedly, a slightly older man, a Black woman, and trans children playing Little League were bigger existential threats. So here we are.

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

I know that I probably shouldn’t find Musk's constant arguing with the AI that his engineers built over the AI's insistence of reality as funny as I do. But it is objectively funny.

Yes, and y'all should probably consider the role your newspaper, and the media at large, have played in normalizing political violence in the first place. And not for nothing, but the bothsidesism in this very editorial is part of how the violence is normalized. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

The amount of money capital will spend on the faint hope they can put more people out of work is astounding. This is not about money. Hostility to labor is an ideology, and in many cases, psychotic. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you ever needed a reminder that women and transfolk are oppressed by the same enemy, let today's SCOTUS decision be that reminder. This is why I have no time for the "just asking questions" crowd about a marginalized community's humanity. It's all the same fight, and solidarity is necessary.

Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

They will continue to terrorize us and continue to escalate until we stop them. It's that simple. #NoKings needs to be a warm up to a summer of direct action and disruption. We don't have until the midterms. I can't stress that enough.

The look of pity that my child gives me every time I try to explain to him that, actually, I prefer plain yogurt with berries and almonds over his favorite concoction of yogurt mixed with peanut butter and banana never gets old. Once he told me, "Mama, that yogurt makes me sad."

I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as the sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.

Because of my work and writing, I've talked to countless elected officials and their staffers about political violence over the past several years. Mostly Dem, though not all. The collective trauma for these folks is immeasurable and justified. With no recourse. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...
