1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

Direct quote from the front desk at a Burbank hotel: “if ICE was staying here, I wouldn’t be able to divulge that… but I can confidently tell you they are not and you should keep up the good work because it’s a topic of conversation at every hotel in the city right now, so keep the pressure on.”

Here, have some genuinely great news: In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS rules in favour of disability protections, and a reasonably low standard of proof for disability-based discrimination.

fucking hell, it seems that as a result of AI slop fake candidates including North Korean fake employee rings, ATSes like Greenhouse are now requiring people to apply and verify their wallet ID names to even get interviewed for jobs :( this sucks for trans people www.fastcompany.com/91350897/gre...

🚨🚨 #Russian losses in #Ukraine hit a massive, and grim milestone on June 12 — 1 million Russian soldiers killed or wounded during the 39-month-long full-scale war, according to figures from Kyiv but there are little evidence Russia will retract its war efforts.🧵 kyivindependent.com/as-russian-l...

kill the cop inside your mind but keep the tiny osha inspector there, they do good work

Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey. "About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

if the federal government stages a coup of my state do I still have to go to work tomorrow

Military coup say what?

"So what does Distribute Aid actually do?" We’re no traditional aid organization, and that’s the point. We don’t drop in, take photos, and fly home. We build supply chains with mutual aid groups, refugee-led orgs, and volunteers. And we keep those chains running. Nothing flashy, just effective.

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

funny looking anarchists

How on Earth anyone could view this image of soldiers firing point blank on huddled masses as anything but an act of cruelty is beyond me. How you perceive this photo is a litmus test of your humanity.

Local police play a central role in enabling ICE to do its job. Despite "Sanctuary City" laws, city police redirect traffic, manage crowds, suppress protests, and defend federal buildings, so ICE can carry out mass detentions and deportations.

Actually it was the anarchists who helped 100,000 displaced people in LA get through the fires with massive mutual aid distros. Distros that continue to this day even as California politicians resume their policy of houseless sweeps and California cops beat city residents. Ask me how I know.

protesting outside their hotels so they cannot sleep and are asked to leave is such a good tactic, people are so fired up and smart right now

If you're active-duty military and filing conscientious objector paperwork in response to what's happening, we'd like to talk to you @taskandpurpose.com. Even on background or anonymously. Please reach out via signal nslayton.12

If you’re worried about property destruction wait until you hear about climate change

This shit right here is exactly why the first thing we're sending to LA is tourniquets, thanks to our friends at DMDM. I respond to aid civilians during times of civil unrest in countries all over the world. One thing I've learned for certain is... 🧵

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Vindicated as a wheelchair user right now, honestly. These things are shitty roadblocks. Assembling them together? Brilliant.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Learn from tactics around the world! Reducing the visibility out of riot gear makes it harder for police to victimize people. #Creativity #Protest

Chicagoans who know: please link bail funds, jail support, and other such mutual aid orgs in the replies

yeah i love waymo, way mo immigrants coming to my city

Protests work. Always have, always will.

They did a curfew in the East Bay during the BLM protests in 2020 and it turns out there actually aren't enough cops to enforce a curfew.

If you're working on a local mutual aid project, an organizing project etc... Saturday will be a terrific recruitment day. If you attend one of the mobilizations, bring info about your work. Make sure it has contact info.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

hey people going to protests this saturday? it's a great place to distribute covid home tests! especially if you have some of the last shipments from the now cancelled hhs program. wear a mask! help keep your community safer.
