I wrote this in 2023 and if anything it’s even worse now: mainstream journalists just don’t think that government encouraging violence against queer folk is worth acknowledging, much less opposing.

Following up: while Jonathan Joss complained about years of homophobic abuse from his neighbors and his husband wrote that the murderer was screaming homophobic epithets, the San Antonio police says there’s “no evidence” of a hate crime. This is why so many queer folks don’t like cops at Pride.

I talked with @ericblanc.bsky.social about what federal workers are up against, what those struggles mean for the rest of us, and the Elon Musk of it all. "The scale of what they're attempting to do and the damage they've already done is more or less unprecedented."

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

ProPublica found that police have been called to the Garrison School, which only has around 70 students, at least 30 times this school year. In one instance, officers were summoned because a student was saying “inappropriate things.”

Update: This happened last night—Senate Republicans went nuclear, overruling the parliamentarian and blowing up the filibuster to repeal California's vehicle emissions standards. Many Republicans will likely cite this precedent as reason to bypass the filibuster to pass the reconciliation bill too.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s arrested after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The Trump-Vance admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids ages 2, 4, and 7. Both families were detained and then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family members. One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.

So as expected the brazenly corrupt EHRC have rushed out insane "guidance" calling for a total ban of trans people from public spaces. From work to shops to school to service stations. Full segregation It's completely worthless. I'm not doing it

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
