I don't care how you feel about campus anti-Israel protests, or about antisemitism on campus. Fighting antisemitism cannot mean disappearing foreign citizens in the US on green cards for Wrongthink. It just cannot. Not in my name. Never. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Again, this is the only actual cancel culture.

Being trans in the US is watching your community be genocided in slow motion as the media bounces between cheering it on and denying it, and elected Dems say they can't defend you because you cost them too many votes, and leftists say you divide the working class so they won't defend you either.

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

Being trans right now is being considered so insignificant that you're hardly worth defending while also so much of a threat that you're worthy of annihilation. It’s dehumanizing on all sides.

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there

Really enjoyed discussing Loren Cannon’s analysis of the Bostock decision in Trans Rights & Law class today from his book The Politicization of Trans Identity: rowman.com/ISBN/9781793...

@katemanne.bsky.social on how the fascists in charge are already killing women in Texas

MuskTrump Dumptruck: we’re replacing the U.S. Government with X. Repubs: yes, business whiteman must be in charge. Dems: hmm prob not legal, but you won’t break rules and hurt people, right? American people: yes, they’re fucking hurting us. Trans Americans: death hurts ouch. #trump #musk #trans #usa

Trump fires federal workers protecting America's food system www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

A coalition of immigrant activists calling itself 'the Community Self-Defense Coalition' says it will alert the community to ICE agents.

Trans youth deserve access to the health care they need — and a federal judge agrees.

“Odds of severe psychological distress were reduced by 222%, 153% and 81% for those who began hormones in early adolescence, late adolescence and adulthood, respectively.” Care about mental health? You support gender affirming care. #genderaffirmungcare #transgender #lgbt #mentalhealth #hrt

Donald Trump, great supporter of women’s sports, rescinds Title IX requirement of equal revenue sharing for men’s and women’s sports 💁🏼‍♀️

@talia-mae.bsky.social bringing the heat for all those living in anti-trans gasoline. Welcome to the flames!

NOW. hundreds have gathered in union square for the rise up for trans youth rally here in NYC! shooting videos and stills

Feminist icon, ally, and dear friend @katemanne.bsky.social ✨

Trump has long relied on threats, not lawful authority, to promote bigotry. His discriminatory effort to ban medical care for young trans people depends almost entirely on hospitals' voluntarily complying with his threats. Some are, but resistance is building. Article by Allison Chapman @alli.gay

Making my case locally that the trans struggle is everyone’s struggle now. Rinse and repeat for any sphere of influence you might have ❤️‍🔥 #trans #trump #cornell #gender #healthcare #academicfreedom

Don’t worry, according to an AI summary of astrology Trump (Gemini) and Musk (Cancer) won’t last long 🫣 #musk #trump #astrology #gemini #cancer

A 404 Media reader made a much clearer, better formatted PDF version of the declassified, World War II-era government guide to "Simple Sabotage" and resisting fascism and asked that I share it widely so here it is: www.404media.co/heres-a-pdf-...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Finally some resistance to trans healthcare ban out of NYS ✊🏼💜

"I would not be here without trans girls" alright make me cry why don't you

Authoritarian regimes don’t just collapse. They collapse themselves. They push too hard. They create their own enemies. And then—suddenly—they’re gone. Here’s how they accelerate their own demise. 🧵

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

If *this* U.S. Government prohibits it, you know it’s actually an emancipatory form of life.

how did I get to a rank this high are ALL of you ordering paperbacks!!!!
