This book was extremely central to the start of my transition. Having beautiful examples of queer masculinity like this helped me embrace my own. I loved it so much.
It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump r**ing children.
“Here’s the bottom line: DHS is buying warehouses across the country to build out concentration camps for caging and deporting immigrants, and WEXMAC TITUS is allowing them to be operational in a matter of weeks.”
People keep getting mad at me for shitting on Dems. They're all a part of the neoliberal machine in the end. I personally don't think there was a "final stage" of the State that didn't include fascism. If this isn't enough for ppl to see it, then idk what is.
fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

I'm a Columbia Heights resident. ICE is still here, terrorizing, breaking laws, harassing people, causing chaos. Tell your family and friends. No matter what this administration's minions report: Nothing Has Changed.
My favorite, as someone with chronic illness, is "Wow, you're so tough! I hope you get better soon!!!" 🙃 Like, what about "degenerative disease" makes you think I'm going to suddenly heal?!
While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
*something, something* they're all jerking each other off. 🤢
"Oh goodie, more Epstein files to..." **chokes on tea**
"FUCKING SERIOUSLY?"
"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.
The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.
SCOOP: 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, a tool Palantir made for ICE which brings up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.
The full user guide here:
Y'all, it matters that journalists are being arrested on US soil for existing as journalists. Remember when we told y'all fascist regimes look a particular way. This is that.
One of the few politicians I find myself cheering for. None of this "they need to wear body cams and then it's fine" crap. ICE doesn't belong *anywhere*, full stop.
Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.
it is incredible how everyone just moved on from the fact the US kidnapped another country’s president and is now effectively the puppet master of the government it left in power
The Doomsday Clock, a symbol of how close humanity is to destroying itself, has moved to 85 seconds.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social gave the keynote—and went in on why the West is in "hell" and how AI plays a part.

Thanks so much! I've been reading and re-reading my emails going "DID I SAY SOMETHING OFFENSIVE?"
Hello #BookSky & fellow #writers - I'm new to getting accepted at publications. Is it normal to not hear anything from editors after accepting a space in the upcoming publication? Given the current, more important hellscape, and how much work goes into publishing, assuming everyone is on fire rn.
a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?”
and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond
of course
of course
mutual aid is an expression of love
love is an act of resistance
My probably-not-so-hot take is that the entire internet - unless you're on, like, a Mastodon instance containing only your friends with the server owned by someone you know well - is vulnerable. And even then, shit could happen. 🫠
Ok, but vast majority of Bluesky users have absolutely no idea how vulnerable they are *HERE* so it would be great if there wasnt an implicit “we’re safe here”
Bluesky is much easier to datamine and it costs absolutely nothing to do it. One of the devs cloned the entire dataset in a few hours.
Indeed. Nothing short of abolition.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
Folks, the cops were the ones arresting the clergy, not ICE. They are not on our side. I'm going to hold your hand while I say this: they're all the baddies.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
