Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

You live in a world where the president of the United States of America posted a video of himself as a king who is literally shitting on Americans.

I just want us all to process that for a minute.

Hey everyone, more US government offices decided to get verified on BlueSky. You can block them here <3

Fuck despair. Fascists should have to fight for every inch they get, on principle alone.

The fight is over when the fascists are defeated, and not one minute earlier.

🥺 Bluesky can you help a trans girl out?

37 Democratic Senators Voted To Pass Anti-Trans NDAA. Here Are Their Names. The vote came after most of the same Democrats refused to allow an amendment on the floor to remove the anti-trans provision in the military spending bill.

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions.

They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it.

We must take no chances with the appropriations fight.

My story from last December.

Republicans Push FBI To Designate Trans Advocacy As Violent Extremism. Inside The Project 2025 Organization's Proposal. On Thursday evening, news emerged that individuals within and outside of Trump administration were pushing to cast trans activists as domestic terrorists. Then, Project 2025 dropped its proposal.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.

It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The details of the ICE raids in Chicago just straight up broke me. ICE blowing down doors and dragging people out in handcuffs under helicopter spotlights for PR stunts, breaking into terrified people's cars and tasing them in the face, straight up killing a father

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I don’t have to say about the state of my country, or the dangers facing me and mine with the State breathing down our necks. But transitioning was the most important thing I ever did.

Yaaaaayyyy

I just didn’t want you caught in a loop of vanity 🥰

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

I would very much like things in the world to get better now

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.

It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

This is something the Republican Party has been working on for some time. I first tracked it in Florida where a bill gained traction that would have taken away nonprofit status from lgbt nonprofits.

Even wrote a story on it.

We are very much at increased risk of these kinds of fascist crackdowns.

literally just $50 so I can get groceries tonight is that too much to ask

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

i understand why they may be popular with groypers but goddamn is there any way we can not have bella ciao and helldivers 2 branded as explicitly their things

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Politely and peacefully demand a retraction and an apology.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate
