“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

As the UUA General Assembly wraps today, I want to thank them for inviting me to give the #WareLecture yesterday to over 3000 people. It was an honor to be in a long line which includes MLK, Jesse Jackson @mariahinojosa.bsky.social and others.

Thank you for coming to speak to us! @imarajones.bsky.social What an amazing talk. #UUAGA

@imarajones.bsky.social of TransLash is the 2025 Ware Lecturer at the UUA General Assembly! #uuaga

#Juneteenth is Black and trans! Today I’m taking a moment to reflect and honor all of those who have paved the way for our freedom.

So grateful for advocates like @imarajones.bsky.social for accessible explanations of the dehumanizing impact, the impediments in daily life, and the life and death consequences of acculturating Americans to violence against each other.

What does it mean to parent beyond motherhood or fatherhood? @imarajones.bsky.social talks with artist and educator Johnny Blazes about raising a child as a non-binary parent—the joy, the grief, and everything in between. 🎧: linktr.ee/translashmedia

As the trans military ban takes effect, @imarajones.bsky.social talks with Bree Fram and Sam Rodriguez—two former officers on the frontlines of this fight. Listen to their stories now on TransLash Podcast: linktr.ee/translashmedia

i'm forever grateful to @translash.org @imarajones.bsky.social for being crucial in my personal understanding of the forces fueling a violent, patriarchal system that's harmed me/my loved ones. we need to support platforms like these and trans leaders to defend democracy and get to real liberation.

Join @imarajones.bsky.social and Chris Geidner today at 3PM ET on our YouTube as they unpack the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Skrmetti case during a live episode of the TransLash Podcast!

Today the Supreme Court used the greatest hits of discredited anti-trans, pseudoscientific ideas in order to rule against the equal access of trans kids to healthcare.

Just call CA Sen. Alex Padilla the Senator for Ghorman and it all makes sense.

This will prove to be the primary test for Newsom on how much he is willing to give Trump rather than protect the people who elected him. Newsom is on record w/Charlie Kirk saying he agrees with him on trans people in sports. So now, here we are.

This week on The Mess, @imarajones.bsky.social breaks down the latest attack on trans lives in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” From the military ban to a Maine lawmaker targeting a trans teen with no consequences—Imara explains what’s really happening. 🎧 linktr.ee/translashmedia

Trump threatening California’s federal funding over a single trans athlete shows that the anti-trans obsession of this Administration knows no bounds. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

“This is more than just a symbolic gesture – it’s a global call to action to focus on LGBTIQ+ economic equality inclusion.” – Fabrice Houdart, Co-Founder of Koppa

The far-right's goal is to "eliminate trans people from public life completely," and maybe even to force trans people into institutions. With a goal that extreme, "They have to transform trans people into an extreme threat to themselves and others."

Read this bizarre and disturbing @salonnewsroom.bsky.social and article from @amandamarcotte.bsky.social on Texas using a dress up ban as a guise to make Trans life harder. A quote from @imarajones.bsky.social

Happy Birthday to me! Have your birthday at the Biblioteque Nationale du France if you can! 🇫🇷 At a time of unrelenting global attacks on trans people, it’s critical that we stand tall and strong to insist on our humanity. I am here. I was here and I will remain here.

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Trump’s ban on transgender soldiers in the military, even as the judicial process works its way through the overall question of service, signals that open discrimination against trans people is fair game across American society.

Is Trump doing stand up? I’m sure Prime Minister Carney must have thought so.

With what money that was authorized by Congress?

MAGAs celebrating Cinco de Mayo is wild.

The White House says that Trump’s movie tariffs will “Make Hollywood Great Again.” Do you agree? variety.com/2025/film/ne...

May the 4th be with you BlueSky fam!

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

On this week's episode of The Mess, @imarajones.bsky.social breaks down how Trump is attacking your bodily autonomy. Trans military members, neurodivergent communities and doctors that provide gender-affirming care are all in their sights. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts: linktr.ee/translashmedia

100 days in—and it already feels like four years. Trump’s relentless attacks on trans people have only escalated. On this week’s TransLash Podcast, @imarajones.bsky.social talks with journalists Christopher Wiggins & Katelyn Burns about the growing threat to democracy. 🎧 linktr.ee/translashmedia

I was not a fan of Andor Season 1 but Season 2 is superb, and ranks right at the top of all Star Wars content. It is the Star Wars of our time. Please give Genevieve O’Reilly and Stellan Skarsgard all of the awards!!! And bring back The Acolyte. #Maythe4th

Asajj Ventress is trans!! I have been wanting to say that for years. #Maythe4thBeWithYou

As a journalist, I know the power of truth and evidence. The Trump administration’s new summary misrepresents gender-affirming care and amplifies anti-trans narratives. Disinformation puts trans lives at risk. We have a duty to protect the truth. @translash.org

Black Trans Short Film Festival starts now! 🎥🍿🎬

“You don’t betray yourself, and you don’t betray your values.” Last night I had the amazing opportunity to speak to students at my alma mater, Columbia University, on the subject of reinvesting in democracy under challenging circumstances.
