Senate passes Trump's "big, beautiful bill" after 11th-hour panic The taxes, border and defense package still has to clear the House.

Still, on the down news, the bill has passed the Senate, and the bill will still devastate ALL communities if it returns to the House and they pass it.

Incredible news for trans people - the Medicaid provision is out of the Trump horror bill. It did not require a point of order vote, and instead, Republicans pulled it out on their own, likely knowing they would lose the vote.

Good job to everyone for calling their Senators.

Two artists killed in Israeli air strike on Gaza cafe Amna Al-Salmi, a visual artist, and Ismail Abu Hatab, a prominent photographer and filmmaker, were among at least 30 killed at the popular seaside spot

Israel killed 33 Palestinian, including 2 artists, Amna Al-Salmi & Ismail Abu Hatab, in an airstrike on a café in Gaza. The café offered internet, making it a hotspot for journalists & artists.

Israel’s targeting of journalists & artists is a war crime.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

There is no mental illness that specifically makes you harass trans people while having no negative impact on your own life. That's a choice.

Gaza’s Taps Running Dry: Fuel Crisis Deepens Daily Struggle for Families This is a summary of what was said by UNICEF Spokesperson, James Elder, to whom quoted text may be attributed – at today's press briefing at the Palais des Nations in Geneva

“Currently just 40% of drinking water production facilities remain functional…Without fuel, every one of these will stop operating within weeks...If the current more than 100-day blockade on fuel coming into Gaza does not end, children will begin to die of thirst.” www.unicef.org/press-releas...

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this.

What a signal that would send to the country and to the world.

If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.

Grant Park in downtown Los Angeles, full of union members peacefully singing and talking and carrying their signs.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

The problem of sex testing is not with the tests per se, but with the assumption that any singular marker of sex (including chromosomes) is adequate to classify people into a two sex system.

Convo btwn my wife & a 9 yr old this wknd:
Kid: “you got really close to [their] face are you [siblings]?”
Wife: “we’re actually married”
Kid: pauses then says “that makes more sense”, grabs a treat & skips away

Kids are precious. Adults ruin them w/our prejudice. Let’s stop that sh*t. #HappyPride

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.

He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.

The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.

This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

‘This must stop now’: UN food body condemns RSF attacks on Sudan premises Aid workers are also having to cope with a wave of cholera outbreaks in war-torn Sudan.

There is a straight line from when people started decrying diversity statements as "political tests" to now replacing them with actual political tests.

In most sports, height is not a limiting factor, and there is great diversity in heights across ci$ populations, especially among elite athletes. It is clear that the average trans women is taller than the average ci$ women, but their % muscle mass & fat mass is equivalent!

Cops Don’t Belong at Pride, “Unseemly” Queer People Do Marsha P. Johnson and the failures of queer respectability

Cops @ Pride is the antithesis of what our trancestors & queer ancestors fought for. They fought AGAINST the cops, cops that continue to systemically marginalize & harm us. We must not sanitize queer/ trans history & instead be radically inclusive of the most marginalized, following Marsha’s lead.
