Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion.

It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

“It represents the most significant legal step yet by the Trump administration to harry, punish and humiliate a former official the president identified as an enemy, at the expense of procedural safeguards intended to shield the Justice Department from political interference and personal vendettas.”

Sonny Curtis Dies: Crickets Frontman Who Penned ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ Theme Was 88 Sonny Curtis, who fronted Buddy Holly's backing band The Crickets and eventually penned the theme for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, has died.

He wrote "I Fought the Law" AND "Love is All Around"?! Range. RIP. deadline.com/2025/09/sonn...

Just hilariously sloppy. He'll lie and pretend it was meant to be public, but he would NEVER post "it's killing our reputation and credibility."

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

This is like when Danny DeVito sees cows in Throw Momma From the Train.

So apparently if you are trans and say "rest in piss" Bluesky will trip over itself to ban you in minutes, but if you openly call for trans genocide for days, that's fine?

(Warning, extreme hate speech in the image. Read only if you are ready for that).

In Trump’s Federal Work Force Cuts, Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit

We are watching resegregation happen in real time. It's neo Jim Crow.

He's the one. Actually taking action instead of posting through it like Newsom.

Most of us have read or heard 1984. Most of us said, this could never happen. Well. it is. Incrementally and decidedly by the very republicans who have whined about government overreach since the Great Depression.

Alt text: Screenshot of a White House webpage. The first bullet point describes the American History Museum’s “LGBTQ+ History” exhibit, which aims to understand evolving and overlapping identities including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, transsexual, transvestite, mahu, homosexual, fluid, invert, urnring, third sex, two sex, gender-bender, sapphist, hijra, friend of Dorothy, drag queen/king, and more. It also includes articles on “LGBTQ+ inclusion and skateboarding” and “the rise of drag ball culture in the 1920s.” The second bullet point highlights the National Museum of the American Latino’s programming featuring “animated Latinos and Latinas with disabilities.” It includes content from “a disabled, plus-sized actress” and an “ambulatory wheelchair user” who educates on being Latinx, LGBTQ+, and disabled.

The White House listed an exhibit on LGBTQ history at the Smithsonian as objectionable and something to be removed.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Houston Chronicle article. The text quotes a witness from the San Antonio Family Association questioning: “How on earth did we get to the point where men are allowed to go into women’s restrooms and locker rooms and shower with them and nobody can do anything about it?” The article continues with a man named Jack Finger saying: “I, for one, am tired of that, I won’t put up with it. I’ve seen it at least a couple times in San Antonio, and I was tempted to help that gentleman save money on his transgendered operation by physically helping him get there.”

During a hearing today in Texas on the trans bathroom bill, a man publicly threatened in the hearing room to mutilate trans women and cut off their genitalia.

“This is not a time to be dismayed. This is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for. It is now time to go. You’re a good person. That means more now than ever.” - Henry Rollins

You’re telling me this guy is not a more desirable guy to promote than Gavin Newsom

Hegseth Reposts Video Featuring Pastors Saying Women Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote “All of Christ for All of Life,” Hegseth wrote in his post that accompanied the video.

The Trump admin is filled with people who would fully disenfranchise women and Black people if they had the ability to do so.

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information

Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.

Now Trump gets to listen to a two hour history lecture from Putin about how Alaska is really Russia.

'Open Cruelty': Transgender Troops Describe Indignities as They're Kicked Out of the Military Leaders in the Trump administration have minced few words in articulating how they feel about transgender troops.

The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president.
