Today is only the beginning.
Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.
UNTIL ITβS DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trumpβs politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
SOS! The crew on 'Handala' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
Will watch every single time. Itβs the rule!

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the womenβs liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

IV. Conclusion For the reasons articulated below, the Court DENIES the government's motion to dismiss this Petition and its alternative request to transfer this matter to the Western District of Louisiana. The Court ALLOWS the alternative relief sought by Ozturk and transfers this matter "in the interest of justice" pursuant 28 U.S.C. Β§ 1631 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont. To ensure that Ozturk has an opportunity to have the Petition considered by the District of Vermont, and to preserve the status quo, this Court's March 28, 2025 Order enjoining the government from removing her from the United States, D. 16, shall remain in effect unless and until the transferee court orders otherwise. See Khalil, 2025 WL 849803, at *14 (ordering same upon transfer). So Ordered. Denise J. Casper United States District Judge Footnotes: Β§ For at least this reason, the Court rejects the government's argument that if it did not dismiss the Petition, it should instead transfer it to the Western District of Louisiana, where Ozturk was not detained at the time of the filing of the Petition. * It will be for the District of Vermont to determine if it has jurisdiction over Ozturk's Petition notwithstanding her later transfer to Louisiana after the filing of the Petition that is now transferred there. See Khalil v. Joyce, 2025 WL 972959, at *24-38 (taking transferred petition as filed in New Jersey at the time it had been filed in S.D.N. Y.).
NEW: Mass. federal judge Denise Casper transfers RΓΌmeysa ΓztΓΌrk's deportation case to VERMONT.
She denies the govt's request to transfer to Louisiana, following the model set by NY federal judge Jesse Furman when he transferred Mahmoud Khalil's case to NJ. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What these loser technofascists have in common is severe and persistent self-hatred combined with a total lack of empathy for other human beings. No amount of money can cure them of their self-loathing and so they aim to destroy and remake the world as a salve for their soft, fragile egos.
