A rare photo of me on assignment for @reuters.com

this is horrifying shit, but also an essential story. great reporting from @madycast.com and @tomatoslayers.bsky.social

You know what was wild to watch happen in real time on the other app? The time a working-class Black woman coined the term “Black girl magic” and it then got usurped by upper class Black people who turned into Black excellence for girls, basically.

Feeling cute, have my outfit together for the @pressclubdc.bsky.social job fair today

First aid offer just came in! - 133,000 alcohol prep pads - 45,000 needles (various gauges) - 30,000 syringes (various sizes) Not a bad start at all.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

jesus tapdancing christ what the fuck is wrong with people

"Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are partnering to offer interest-free loans of up to $10,000 for individuals and families to support relocation costs to another state because of anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies, and climate in their current state of residence."

it was written by a guy who had supported the Nazis as a conservative and came to terribly regret his direct contribution to their evil.

Trump is the author of this hell but he writex it with tools preserved, expanded, and ultimately sustained by first Obama and later Biden. Detaining a legal permanent resident for campus protest, under the flimsy pretense of aiding terror, can only be done with tools Bush built & Obama sustained.

it does bum me out how many establishment Dems are willing to move to the right by throwing whole sections of the population to the wolves but not by at all altering their stance on gun control

libs: why do leftists SABOTAGE the democrats? me: hey, i’m trans. how am i supposed to support dems when a bunch are anti-trans rights? libs:

Anyway, now that a Texan like Al Green has your attention, I need you “Abandon the South” Liberals in particular to eat shit.

hell yeah, brothers

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

people nationwide need to study what's happening in Montana to protect trans kids and their families

god it must be so easy to be a Dem consultant, just sitting around making $250k a year to say things like "actually voters don't want healthcare, they want you to go to gun shows and start using the word orientals again"

please go check this out! i worked very hard on it part 2 will be in the next issue of @jectoons.bsky.social !

it's pretty disappointing when even the Washington Post will cite my work, but few LGBT journalists or social media accounts care to do so. I don't ask for a lot, and I don't make any profit from my work. But I do feel like I deserve the basic courtesy of being cited especially by LGBT outlets.

what's important here is this is the date range when I came out of the closet and... I lived, bitch

Resistance libs are following me again so I must remind you all I am a socialist and don’t think the Democratic Party has done a very good job

Did a post on my blue sky on how dangerous it is for everyone that a lot of DNC top tier posters seem to be punching down and to the left already. www.patreon.com/posts/this-i...

I love documenting the wins of the trans community Baltimore is the #greatestcityinamerica

I just finished covering the rally for the PFLAG V TRUMP lawsuit in Baltimore and I have come to realize that my speciality as a journalist is covering the end of the world I grew up in. It feels weird. That's all.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

this is your reminder that the owners of the New York Times, during the Holocaust, openly admitted they didn't consider themselves the same as the Jews being annihilated by the Nazis, nor did they consider covering the Holocaust an important story

For those thinking the NYT grew a spine, hold tight… even in this piece they equivocate on sports and trans youth care.

While I don't have reporting to prove this unequivocally, I agree that this is best informed guess as to why the NYT ran biased story after biased story attacking youth trans healthcare, abandoning their journalistic commitment to objectivity in pursuit of more readers from the political right.

Kendrick's Superbowl halftime show was like the Large Hadron Collider for being a hater. we have discovered entirely new forms of hate thanks to his trailblazing work.

gonna keep repeating it: this is child abuse as a federal policy push

liberals love to complain when there’s protests under democratic presidents and then love to complain when there is not immediately larger protests under a republican president. the throughline is they don’t participate in either of them

the people who are in charge are not successfully navigating you out of the major crises of our era, and existing systems (and even existing methods of resistance) aren’t the answer.

*on the tracks as a train approaches* Me: "I passed a law saying trains can't run me over." *train getting closer* Me: "They wouldn't break the law." Train conductor locks eyes with me and runs his finger across his throat Me: "The proper procedures will kick in at any moment and stop this."

good morning friends! my latest for the fine folks at @assignedmedia.org is now up, covering the Lansing chapter of the @transunity.bsky.social rally. give it a read here: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new... #news #photojournalism #transrights

FACT: the joe biden that became president in 2020 was a clone created by aliens. the original joe biden that was barack obamas VP has been dead for a decade

there is no political will from people in positions of power to actually challenge what is going on within their institution. it’s still valid to pressure them regardless, but expecting them to actually jeopardize their power to stop this is like trying to get blood from a stone

We need a Nuremburg for the "journalists" and editorial boards whose hands drip with the blood of trans children Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

one of my strongest held beliefs is that we will not fix any of our most serious problems unless we are willing to hold a Nuremberg for social media executives, funders and engineers

Hey WaPo CEO William Lewis, are you even trying, bro? Just increase subscriptions lmao it's not that hard

damn if that ain't some bars
