What a relief that we've spent the past decade wringing our hands about censorious leftist college students

To be against genocide in Gaza means we have to oppose the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism at the root of ongoing genocides in Sudan, Congo, and Tigray. No one is free until all of us are free. Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free Congo. Free Tigray.

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

This Trans Couple Bought a House in the '90s. It Became a Home for Unhoused Youth Sylvia Rivera was living in Brooklyn's Transy House when she died in 2002.

as the government allows and enables discrimination against trans people, it's important to look at how trans people have looked out for each other in recent history.

@tsdav.bsky.social writes about Transy House, where for 13 years one couple sheltered unhoused trans people, including kids.

The thing is nobody besides a few bloodthirsty politicians and greedy bomb makers want war with Iran. This country doesn’t want another war. The people don’t want endless war. We don’t want another war in the Middle East that kills thousands of people for no reason.

Hakeem Jeffries says “the risk of war has now dramatically increased”

How is this not already war???

UPDATE: At least *60* members of Congress have now signed on to efforts against the Trump-Vance admin's war on Iran.

59 Democrats. 1 Republican.

After the attack, Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced support for the War Powers Act and is urging all senators to vote for it.

TRUMP BROKE FEDERAL LAW BY NOT NOTIFYING ENTIRE GANG OF 8

It has been reported that Trump only informed Republicans and not the Democrats prior to his strike of Iran.

If true, Trump is in violation of 50 U.S.C. § 3093.

"All too often, big corporations like xAI treat ... communities and families like obstacles to be pushed aside."

“I really believed when Trump said on the campaign trail-“

But how? How could you possibly have done that? Do you think maybe you should take a break from weighing in on things? Is it possible you’re, I don’t know, a fucking idiot?

Lot of people seem to think this is a paraphrase. No, he actually said that

Vice President JD Vance says "we're not at war with Iran"

Vice President says "perhaps they [Iran] should follow President Trump's lead and give peace a chance."

Headline Scoop: Trump launches MAGA PAC in effort to oust Rep. Massie from Congress By: Alex Isenstadt

Donald Trump is launching a billionaire-funded PAC to get rid of the *only Republican in Congress* who's spoken out against another reckless US war. Do you get the message yet?

The U.S. has attacked Iran’s nuclear sites because Donald Trump chose to side with Israel and their genocide instead of choosing peace and negotiation.

Realized Zohran follows me so I hit him with this journalistic curveball, let’s see what position he takes.

Three months ago, Zohran Mamdani confronted Trump's “border czar” Tom Homan — as most Democrats simply twiddled their thumbs after Mahmoud Khalil was taken.

"How many more New Yorkers will you detain?!"
"Do you believe in the First Amendment?!"

Today, Khalil is freed.

Mahmoud Khalil has been released after being held as a political prisoner for over 3 months!!!

A banner drop on a Beltway overpass says, “Trans Kids Matter,” accompanied by two Trans pride flags, a Progress Pride flag, and an American flag.

This evening (June 20) on the inner loop of the Beltway.

TRANS KIDS MATTER!

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

About to board a flight to leave Cairo, Egypt. And all I can think about is my friend Muhammad in Gaza.

“We are here in Gaza. Our dreams and our children's dreams end here.”

“Horror. Fear. Hunger. Thirst. Death. We are not okay. I'm sorry to tell you these things. Excuse me.”

Journalist: “What’s your message to all other immigrants in this country today?”

Mahmoud Khalil: “No one is illegal. No human is illegal. That’s the message.”
