NEW: Brazil Mourns After 121 People Killed

October 28, 2025, will be remembered as one of the saddest episodes in recent Brazilian history, especially for residents of the state of Rio de Janeiro. At least 121 people were killed in the deadliest police operation in the country’s history.

Alt Headline: "Man wouldn't have worn costume to work if he'd known his department was getting cut in half."

Whether in feminine or masculine attire I gain ire in everyday spaces, the necessary for survival places. Folk can't place me — I don't fit their boxes. Always unmatching the expectations they make of the skin I wear that day. "Masculine" clothes; all they see are my curves, long hair, high voice, meek androgenous face Out of place. "Feminine" clothes; all they see are my hairy body, broadness, bold androgenous face Out of place. It's both my freedom and my fear. Affirmed by the confusion I cause — but in the freedom of not being malleable enough to be stuffed into one box of another... I forego the ability to hide from those who would wish me and mine harm. Palpable animosity. Armored trying to take the brunt of it off of those affected more or differently from me. I don't go out alone I never could I don't know what would make it feel possible. Agoraphobia Ala fascism forcing us away from the facade, some semblance of community coin bought to be there still not enough payment to bask in a warm welcome Tell you I see the the shadows causing you sorrow Tell me you see them behind me too Have each other's backs

A lot of people think it’s unreasonable to expect masking in public spaces

What’s unreasonable is accepting a mass disabling event when we have tools to stop it

What’s unreasonable is expecting disabled people to stay home forever

What’s unreasonable is risking your long term health unnecessarily

New York Attorney General Uses Scare Tactics to Publicize Fentanyl Busts Her mass drug arrests and misleading information put New Yorkers at added risk, and contradict the state's commitment to harm reduction.

AG James' announcement of mass drug arrests was accompanied by a dangerously misleading statistic, and more broadly counteracts New York's harm reduction efforts, writes researcher Kevin Revier.

"Simply put, when drug raids happen, communities become less safe."

As Palestinian fighters prepare to exchange the rest of the Israeli captives for thousands of Palestinian prisoners, we look back to the previous ceasefire (which Israel broke) that led to the last swap in January 2025.

As the activists kidnapped are released don't lose sight of those still held. 138 floatilla activists are still being held, the anti-zionist israelis who entered Gaza by land, and over 40,000 Palestinian prisoners being tortured by the IOF who need all of us to take action in whatever way we can! 🇵🇸🕊

They look down at a valley which has a prison on fire in it. There is a decorative leaf border around the whole illustration.

Replying to this post to acknowledge a mistake and annotate accordingly:

I sourced the information in this original post from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... which, at the time of posting, only listed the five participants mentioned above. It has since been updated to include more.

Down with the surveillance state!

Pritzker is so blatantly either willfully ignorant of what his stormtroopers are up to or intentionally performative and idk which is more annoying.

44 counties just watched the IOF kidnap their citizens in international waters, throw them in a high-security prison, start torturing them and just let it happen.

Can you imagine any other nation-state getting away with this??

All five of the kidnapped solidarians from the United States are veterans.

As we dismantle empire and the military industrial complex that stokes it, always remember that veterans are one of the classes it deeply exploits.

Being anti-military IS being pro-veteran; the two are intertwined.

In the past several hours, 462 people on boats carrying humanitarian aid were intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the IOF.

Israel is currently holding 458 of these comrades captive.

Help demand their release:

On Surviving Trans Genocide As fascists openly call for trans people to be institutionalized, forcibly detransitioned, and labeled as terrorists, we must remember how trans existence is undefeatable, and how trans people will fi...

Fascism is a hateful, suicidal ideology. Trans existence is an indomitable, inconsolable fact of the universe. We survived the AIDS genocides, the Holocaust, and erasure of Indigenous gender identities. And we will survive this genocide too.

May the memory of the martyrs spark a blessed revolution.

Solidarity with the fida’iyeen.

May all empires fall.

Of course, no single person nor hero will break this blockade alone; any success will stand upon the shoulders of every martyr who has stood against settler colonialism, zionism, and empire.

It'll be so damn perfect when the Onion Knight (a smuggler who snuck past the blockade of Storm's End and delivered food to a starving people under siege) helps break the blockade on Gaza.

As he once said though, “If you're a famous smuggler, you're not doing it right.”

Sumud to the Floatilla!

Hey, if your a cis woman approaching menopause who says she’s a trans ally, you should go get yourself a prescription for HRT and start hoarding it for trans women who will need it sooner rather than later.
