Dear everyone, Finish your fucking antibiotics regimen. Sincerely, All of Humanity

One of the big jokes about Trump "protecting women's sports" from trans people is that women's sports is maybe the most progressive institution in American public life

Wild idea... even visitors to the United States should be able to have freedom of speech without being disappeared and locked away.

Continually mortified that leading trans advocates continue to prioritise cisgender ally voices in our issues. I'm really glad we have allies, I'm glad they speak up. They don't inherently deserve platforms to speak on our behalf while we're silenced. We don't need to advocate for their voices.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

these are the dullest people alive

More American citizens need to be scared here. If you get arrested but aren’t afforded due process, you may never get a chance to prove you’re a citizen. You might just get shipped off to a prison in El Salvador. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I can’t see how any US academics would be ‘tempted’ by UCL Sociology, when it’s home to academics who spend their time promoting the very same ideological bigotry that American university staff are trying to escape from?

so weird that the council on academic freedom at harvard isn’t all over this, considering all those big promises they made when they formed. weird, it’s almost like they were created for a different purpose or something

The more things change...

This is genocidal.

DON'T TALK TO THE FBI!

1. In what could be a look at our own future in the United States, AI Surveillance is to be deployed on Budapest Pride, which has been banned and which will fine participants. Organizers vow to march regardless. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Despite four years of intense media focus, fewer than one in three Americans know a trans person in real life. Those who do are more likely to believe that families and doctors should make decisions about trans healthcare instead of politicians and bureaucrats.

they are literally prosecuting thought crimes. this is fascism

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

The Montana Bathroom ban is signed into law. Gianforte thanked the Alliance Defending Freedom and Riley Gaines in his address. This makes it against the law for trans people to use the bathroom in the airport, parks, the capitol building, and more. It also impacts me and my wife Zooey personally.

Not gonna fault anyone for using lines of attack that work, but this is definitely my takeaway. It's never the evil shit that hurts an administration so much as not doing evil shit "correctly". This sounds like a pretty clear cut war crime, but I guess everyone gave up on those being real.

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts. This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana. apnews.com/article/tuft...

This speaks volumes: Yale professors, Timothy Snyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of "On Tyranny," and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of "How Fascism Works", move to Canada. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2025/03... munkschool.utoronto.ca/person/timot...

BREAKING: The American Association of University Professors and other groups sue over what they call the Trump administration's “ideological-deportation policy" — which has already led to the arrest of Mahmoud Kahlil and targeting of others. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The thing about targeting activists is they’re a group that specifically sees what others fear and run towards it. So proud of Yunseo, of Momodou, each putting their lives on the line to better a country that will not even include them as its members. We owe them a debt.

Hey folks, I’m preparing to update my risk assessment map and I am including a new factor: hospitals complying with anti-trans EOs and whether AGs are putting pressure to stop that. If your hospital system is complying with anti-trans EOs and hasn’t reversed course, let me know here or in DM.

1. The 1Q 2025 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map is complete, and there are big changes. I have issued a "Do Not Travel" for transgender foreign citizens. Risk has deteriorated broadly across the US. Transgender youth see changes in previously safe states. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I think everyone needs to seriously start planning how to get out of the US to somewhere safe. There's no calvary coming. The rule of law is gone and there are no more checks. This is going to get horrifyingly worse.

Fired? Chelsea Manning was sentenced to THIRTY FIVE YEARS in prison

under current political pressures, Dem politicians are increasingly revealing who they really are: has a spine vs spineless. willing to stand up for LGBTQ+ ppl vs merely saying pro-gay-ish-sounding platitudes so long as it's politically convenient

It's only intersectional feminism if you spend enough time bashing white middle class conventionally attractive women as privileged. Forget that the point of intersectionality was addressing injustices faced by black women, the real sauce is sounding educated while normalising misogyny generally.

Funny how the Dems who are vigorously fighting for democracy are also the ones who haven't arbitrarily given up on their previous support of the transgender community.

This is how you get Vichy Dems. Democrats who watch as the world is bulldozed just so they can hold ceremonial positions every few years while they do nothing and then let the world get bulldozed some more. It’s not a theory to make your lives better. It is a job security program for them.

Good example of how many folks on the right who express love for Jews are quite literally no different than antisemites. Both people here are calling for Jews to leave the US. To both, the US is an ethnonationalist project, much like they see Israel.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Was reminded today of the worst piece of toxic anti-trans propaganda put out by US media, where a reporter agrees with and amplifies a nonaccepting parents' portrayal of her child's death by suicide after detransitioning as the fault of trans activists. It wasn't in right-wing media but @wbur.org

Golf courses are artificially created and maintained monocultures. They are one plant type short of being a desert. Their existence actively fucks up pollinator populations for kilometres around. Building a housing estate on them *increases local biodiversity*; that's how bad they are.

This should INFURIATE you

Social media bans won't prevent many people across our population from becoming steeped in dangerous transphobic bigotry. Not when that hate is printed in every paper, repeated by ministers and entire political parties. Instagram didn't cause this. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...
