cuomo is campaigning that he’s the only one seasoned enough and tough enough to stand up to trump and then when trump kidnaps the comptroller of the city he wants to lead, he can’t even be bothered to show up. don’t rank him.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

This was back in 2013, btw. ICE was always a racist agency ready to enforce fascism. Abolish ICE.

Reposting (with alt text) this call for protest quilt blocks

I keep watching this, he seems like a spinny dancer. Someone to dance with when wearing a fun skirt to spin.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Happy Birthday to M. C. Escher born on June 17, 1898. Also commemorated as World Tessellation Day in honor of Escher's iconic tiling and morphing art. đź§¶ Celebrate with knitting patterns inspired by Escher's artwork like these on my Escher knitting post intheloopknitting.com/escher-knitt...

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

"Detained" is an interesting word choice. It sounds official but it just means they grabbed him. They couldn't say "arrested" because that would open up questions like "on what authority" and "for what charge." If you or I "detained" someone we could be charged with unlawful imprisonment

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

You can't arrest people without warrants, you can't arrest people for asking to see a warrant and you can't bar reporters you don't like from City Hall press conferences This concludes today's lesson in Civics in The City

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

URGENT: comptroller & mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested doing a court watch shift with JFREJ & is being held. If you can, head to 26 Federal Plaza, we're demanding his release & shining a light on ICE's violence. JFREJers are on the ground. We will send more updates as we know them.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

fun fact for washingtonians: if you tap into the quoted thread, there’s a call script for patty murray. you can help her do her job by explaining the language of the budget bill that would strip healthcare from trans people that she’s supposed to be reviewing as a member of the budget committee!

Willow. Disney actually gave us an openly queer princess and then dropped the show after one season that explicitly ended with a promise of two more seasons.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? It's all about the soil.

Why is the #Massachusetts state legislature allowing Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph McDonald to hold thousands of people in jail for ICE? State lawmakers could end this right now by passing a bill prohibiting county sheriffs from collaborating with ICE. #mapoli #AbolishICE

Jules Gill-Peterson isn’t mincing words: Forget euphemisms like “gender euphoria.” “We need hormones, sex changes, and surgeries.” Not affirmation—access.

How long did that reversal last? Three days?

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? We do not actually have a consistent, agreed-upon definition for what, specifically, differentiates living systems from non-living ones. For every category rule you can think of, there's seemingly an exception.

ICE Is Already $1 Billion Overbudget And Could Run Out Of Cash Next Month

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban. Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision. Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.
