Trans kids HAVE ALREADY been dying due to this. There are massive spikes in suicide rates of trans kids in states that ban their healthcare. The solution for communities is to provide kids access to their care regardless of what the government says, not to gaslight kids that they don't need it.

Amar mayor! Tomar mayor! From Parkchester to Jackson Heights, Bangladeshi New Yorkers have been showing up for this campaign from day one — and I’m proud to have their support.

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

Before you head to Brooklyn Comics Pride Saturday (thanks @anyonecomics.bsky.social !) hear me & @janosmarton.bsky.social breakdown how Daredevil Born Again mirrors real NY politics, why Cuomo is just like Kingpin and how we can stop him! bit.ly/NoKingpinCuomo

This is true and correct and I wish it wasn’t (the prison part).

We will not go silently and let the Supreme Court + our Government erode our rights to our bodies, genders, choices, and futures. ACT UP FIGHT BACK!

On the evening of his 32nd birthday, Zohran Mamdani returned home, pleasantly drunk, to find a single levitating rose floating in the entryway of his apartment. “You will die in 52 years, 10 months, and one day,” the rose said in a somber baritone. “Before that eventuality you must become mayor.”

Ask him who he thinks should have won.

This one's personal. NO IDC is one more reason I'm part of #JewsSayNo2Cuomo!

the timidity here is truly a sickness - if you're a fucking representative of Congress and you have the authority to inspect, you go in there with that authority in your voice and backup plans for how to force your way in if they say no

Heyyyyy friends!!! Exciting news and so thrilled to be joining the BOOM! team!

the 2016 NC bathroom bill cost the state 400 million dollars & was called the most anti-LGBT law in the US. president obama called for its repeal. by 2021, state-level trans bigotry was so normalized that trans people started to lose everything from bathroom to healthcare access in 24 states.

dolls to watch out for

Adams was indicted for taking bribes, given a chance to defend himself, and ultimately struck a sweetheart deal with Trump and got off scot-free. Lander was falsely accused of assault and arrested by masked goons for helping immigrants get due process. One of these things is not like the other.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

deleted here, still up on X, a complete coward. a man that should be leading no one and, in fact, is leading no one.

NEW: A protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City 'No Kings' march. A man is in police custody, booked on suspicion of murder—but not the one who fired the gun. From video, witnesses and interviews, @schotthappens.com and I tried to piece together what really happened Saturday. Our report-

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

This September, baby

It’s amazing how assault has shot up purely by redefining “scuffing an officer’s boots with your face” and “hurting an officers’ fee-fees” as assault.

Y'all notice they're rounding up most of these "freeloading" immigrants AT WORK???!!

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

vote for zohran, vote for brad. vote for three more. do not rank cuomo, who didn't even mention brad lander in his first remarks on the "arrest"

If you guys are sleeping on these you’re missing out on an awesome story by @attackerman.bsky.social

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

“Free them all! Free them all! Free them all” chants the anti-ICE crowd in support of Brad lander. The rain has stopped, police presence slowly increasing though. Earlier, NY state senator Zellnor Myrie, called out Eric Adam’s for being so silent on the matter.

Trump told the entire 10 million population of Tehran to evacuate; said the US has "total control" of the skies over Iran; threatened to kill Iran's leader; and posted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have not said a word yet.

As Brad Lander is detained by federal agents while escorting someone in a courthouse — a reminder of his comments speaking up against the conditions at Rikers a few weeks ago:

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic

There was a brief moment, where it was possible to hope the Guardian had remembered the difference between right and wrong, but sadly that has passed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This bill is a weapon of destruction, an agent of chaos. Death drive in legislative form. Its authors want to dismantle the few remaining benefits and services left to ordinary people.

How much longer can debased news agencies like the Times avoid the fact that Trump is a raving idiot without a plan, who doesn’t know how things work, and doesn’t even know the basic meaning of words like “unconditional surrender”? He’s a fool making proclamations using half-remembered phrases

"My brave compatriots and I await the orders to approach a moderately busy intersection in the shopping district of a mid-sized American city to confront a force of as many as eleven or twelve of the enemy, all cleverly disguised as 'dishwashers,' 'nannies,' and 'landscapers.'" buff.ly/E8hjuAF

ICE doesn't have the legal authority to arrest U.S. citizens. No warrant. No identification. But the law isn't worth the paper its printed on if nobody enforces it. We are no longer living in a democracy when a Gestapo-like secret police can operate without impunity.

Military/paramilitary forces grabbing people without process, regardless of their citizenship status because of their perceived ethnicity is perhaps better referred to as "ethnic cleansing."

Some parts of the federal government are grinding to a halt and it’s not because of a shutdown. It’s because of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.
