Guess who got a fatter ass

the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and the Minority Business Development Agency.

Trump signed an executive order to dismantle seven federal agencies: the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Institute of Museum and Library Services,

Additionally, the removed content included information about groups such as the Buffalo Soldiers and the Tuskegee Airmen, both composed of Black service members who made significant contributions to U.S. military history.

You can’t erase the past, and you can’t erase their legacy!

this is the dumbest fuckin man in the world

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

my fellow Californians of good moral character…

trans people need you, *i* need you, to tell Newsom exactly what you think of him saying trans Californians (in a trans! sanctuary! state!) aren’t worth protecting

PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE

I’ve been asked by the Emanet family to set up a GoFundMe to help cover legal fees and support income while Jersey Kebab remains closed. During the morning hours of Tuesday, February 25, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrantlessly picked up members of the Emanet family, Celal and Emine Emanet, from Jersey Kebab, located at 150 Haddon Avenue, Haddon Township, NJ 08108. The Emanet family has an open case with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and has been waiting since 2016 for a decision on their case. USCIS has not decided whether to approve or deny their green card application for the past 9 years. While waiting for their case to be decided upon, Celal and Emine Emanet were left without a status. They are contributing members of society and taxpayers with a five-year valid business license. Celal and Emine own and operate Jersey Kebab, a beloved Mediterranean restaurant across from the Haddon Township Municipality and Police building. The husband-and-wife pair own and manage the restaurant together, a hub for the community, and regularly feed underprivileged

members of the community - the sign on the door stating, “Free to anyone with a disability, homeless, or simply cannot afford it.” The couple start prep work together at 9 am and close up shop at 8:30 pm. At the end of the night, Celal and Emine come back home where they live with their four children (Muhammed, Zeynep, Hamza, Hale), daughter-in-law (Hale), two grandchildren (Ali and Omer), and two cats (Oreo and Almond). Muhammed (25), the manager at Jersey Kebab, who attended Rutgers-Camden, is a husband and father to two children. Zeynep (23) is a Swarthmore College graduate and works at a local civil rights nonprofit organization. Their younger son, Hamza (15), and younger daughter, Hale (13), cannot imagine life without mom and dad together. While Celal has been released from custody with an ankle monitor, Emine has been placed into the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, awaiting her bond trial. This situation is especially devastating for their 15-year-old son, Hamza, who has autism. Deporting Emine would cause Hamza immense distress, as he only speaks limited Turkish and relies on the specialized services available to him

here in New Jersey. Uprooting him from this support system would have severe consequences for his well-being. Emine is not a flight risk - she is a mother, community member, and neighbor. Neither Celal nor Emine have criminal records or prior orders of removal by an immigration judge. She needs to be released on bond so she can return home. Until she is released, the restaurant, which is their main source of income, is closed. So please help out any way you can.

A sign in the restaurant window of a Kebab restaurant reads “To Anybody with a Disability or Homeless or Simply Cannot Afford”

Someone called ICE on this sweet family who was running a Kebab restaurant. They have had a case open with with USCIS since 2016.

They would feed the homeless, people with disabilities, and people who just couldn’t afford to pay them.

There is a GFM to offer support for legal fees and lost income.

Senate sets up vote to restrict trans women from women's sports The House passed similar legislation in January.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.

It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.

Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.

My captain, my king

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

hard to believe that our public institutions are suddenly behaving in a manner that many many people have been warning is the logical endpoint of a capitalist government for a hundred years

It makes no sense because those athletes would have to REVERSE their gender changes in their countries to be able to enter the USA. Like it's not a simple process to revert all of that in order to have your info reverted just to enter 1 place??

So confused how they're trying to navigate this

It would behoove folks to start yelling at the LA28 commission, Karen Bass, and the Los Angeles City Council on what they plan on doing for the Olympics given what happened last summer with athletes like Imane Khelif, and to also demand the IOC withdraw the bid.

Long Away - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark Victoria travels 25 years into her own past to meet a man she barely remembers - her father - and hopes he will love her for who she is...

Orion; white, transmasc, long curly hair. They're standing in a bedroom with moody pink lighting. They have one arm raised and their hand in a claw formation. A to-go coffee cup is edited into their hand. The camera is placed low and angled upwards

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting.

If anyone says “where are the student protestors right now” tell them high schools students in Eagle Rock staged a massive walkout for the third week in a row to protest.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO WIN A RIGHTEOUS BATTLE.

A reminder that @scarleteen.bsky.social is 100% queer and trans run and will ALWAYS be providing educational materials, support, and more to youth seeking sex, relationships, and health education from a source who won't casually erase their existence with their political winds.

I hate to break it to everyone but queer people and even other trans people, even some trans men, regularly claim trans men don't suffer from transphobic oppression and violence because of the kind of erasure that's happening to Sam Nordquist in death.

And then I wonder why my board is so beat up...

I cannot emphasize enough how we are in an era where everyone is to be treated like disabled people have always been treated.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”
