Hi- I’m back cuz oops I forgot IG censors my already self-censored photos 😵‍💫

Progress! 👨🏻‍🎨

I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side. Despite our request for ICE to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer. Mahmoud remains unjustly detained in an ICE detention center over 1,000 miles away from his firstborn child. My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom. I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy.

In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”

Is this what fresh air smells like? Damn… nyc legit has my lungs in a chokehold

Why You Can (And Should) Opt Out Of TSA Facial Recognition Right Now Do you really want to be submitting a face scan to the current U.S. government?

Every face scan is a “unique opportunity” to assert your rights, EFF’s Saira Hussain told @huffpost.com. If more people keep declining face scans, maybe TSA will think twice “about whether it’s actually effective to roll out programs like these.”

Trans people aren’t just part of history—we are the cultural architects of resistance. We’ve been at the frontlines of labor movements, feminist organizing, & racial justice struggles.

And nothing they do will stop us from building the future we deserve.

This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Trans people are perfect exactly as we are and as we choose to be.

We are blessed to experience a sacred journey of self-determination and expression that many could only dream of. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

I keep seeing all of these white folks applauding a 77-year-old Al Green for getting thrown out. Yes, he was brave. But why aren't white Reps doing this? Even now, white ppl have the power to end all of this. If you think we are going to let you sacrifice our elders you have another thing coming.

I turned gay 13 years ago!
