not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

there is this constant lurid fantasy that cis men will pretend to be trans women to gain covert access to girls and women because in this scenario we're imagining predators are not the fathers or grandfathers or teachers or priests or cops who are already granted that access. come the fuck on.

Considering the degree to which zoomers grew up online I feel like this divide really illustrates how social media was more of a progressive force in society up until it was forcibly weaponized into a fascist radicalization pipeline a few years later

The level of injustice is just so extreme They had a hearing about what rights, what freedoms, what future trans people have... without a single trans person being involved, yet multiple with hate groups They decided we don't deserve equality. Then said "no one won"

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

The government’s case against Mahmoud Khalil is so pifflingly weak that it’s both outrageous and terrifying that it’s taking this long and might indeed end with his deportation. His offense is that he might have thought, be thinking right now, or one day think something that gives off bad vibes.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
