I strongly suspect we were once again key for a "progressive" campaign to gather political capital but aren't worth spending any of that capital on for... reasons.

We are expected to build a bridge to a brighter tomorrow with our broken bodies and corpses because allies don't even see us as people.

Insane.

The anti-trans movement wants an absolute right of parents to control their children, from the kids' religion to their gender. The state must obey the parents.

Except when the parents want to affirm their children as transgender. Then the state can do whatever the fuck it wants.

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran.

Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble.

I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

I’m actually not sure we can come back from β€œprediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

Torturing trans women prisoners by executive fiat, and doubling down on said torture as soon as they attempt to fight back.

This is what trans genocide in the USA right now looks like.

I am necessarily suspicious of the takes of any trans person whose career wasn’t completely nuked by transitioning. I just don’t think they now the first thing about the misery life is capable of dealing us and I don’t enjoy them speaking on our community’s behalf.

The continued focusing on a trans account with like 300 followers for disliking a journalist whose β€œprogressivism” serves to launder the fascist goals of nyt is legitimately insane

have significant tools at their disposal. Mamdani has direct authority over New York City Health + Hospitals, the largest public municipal health care system in the country, and can direct it to absorb displaced patients effective immediately.
His administration controls the NYC Commission on Human Rights, which can levy fines of up to $250,000 per violation against hospitals that discriminate on the basis of gender identity. He campaigned on a $65 million investment in gender-affirming care and pledged to coordinate with James and district attorneys to investigate noncompliant hospitals and hold public hearings.
James, meanwhile, has the authority to investigate hospitals under state civil rights law, as she warned providers she would do. Yet neither has taken any of these steps. Erin in the Morning has sent multiple requests for comment to the mayor's office, NYC Health + Hospitals, and the Commission on Human Rights. The mayor's office has not responded. H+H has not responded. And the commission has declined to comment on specific cases, redirecting inquiries back to the mayor.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

I don't think anyone on here actively wants Gavin Newsom to be president. In fact I think they're just saying the name of the last guy they saw on TV who seemed half smart and could string a functional sentence together

This bill includes criminal penalties and a bounty provision. It also authorizes the state DMV to strip trans people off their current drivers licenses.

the world order effectively letting the palestinian genocide occur with no real objections has effectively dropped the formalities around pretending to care about genocide in the post-ww2 era and so the 21st century will be marked by more genocides & attempts to depoliticize them

Virginia Supreme Court rules US Marine's adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a U.S. Marine and his wife will keep an Afghan orphan they brought home in defiance of the U.S. government’s decision to reunite her with her Afghan family.

A Virginia court agreed to allow a Marine and his wife to adopt an Afghan girl living in Afghanistan. Then the couple tricked the girl's family into evacuating to the U.S., and when they arrived here, stole the child. The Virginia Supreme Court just endorsed the legality of this.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate β€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
