The people wanting to bomb LGBTQ people at a Lady Gaga concert were also pedos with child sexual abuse material. I'm shocked.

It is deeply weird that only after a sustained years-long campaign to deprive trans people of every right enjoyed by cis people did the Guardian ask someone from a womens' refuge if they had ever had problems resulting from trans women using their services & got the reply 'Never, in fifteen years"

URGENT: This morning in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained.

"When [DOJ] lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a 'historical wrong' and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered." They said desegregation was a "historical wrong." www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/u...

This made me cry. The only reason this man had to be fear for his life and safety and leave was because his skin is shade too dark for the fash in power in this country. There is no justification for this not rooted purely in white supremacy: wapo.st/3RL9OhK

Hey, Labour! Statistically there would’ve been about 200 trans voters in this by-election. Whoopsie!

This is absolutely disgusting. Holding a debate about whether certain students in the class are fully human and deserving of rights or not. The teacher that organised that should be fired and fined at the very least. Evil

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

There's a reason they didn't release the names of the people who authored the report, they literally aren't even doctors with medical experience. An MIT philosophy professor is one of the authors.

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

This, not an op ed or a protest or a social media post supporting Palestinians, is antisemitic violence.

Hey just a reminder to folks attending rallies today: don’t post photos with identifiable faces of people who didn’t agree to it. I’m seeing a lot of photos with lots of faces in the crowd that haven’t been blurred out & I doubt permission was granted.
