When terms like "immigration enforcement" are used to describe ICE's operations it obscures two things: The fact that this administration is doing ethnic cleansing and, as this article makes clear, that the goal is to make sure there are no safe spaces anywhere for immigrants.
1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Rep Harder to RFK Jr: “What I don’t understand is how you can spend your entire career talking about an issue, & the first minute that you get power to do something about it, you take off the mask & become an apologist for an administration that is increasing mercury more than any other in history”
In order to watch the whole clip of Summer Lee I had to finally watch RFK Jr.... I don't know how anyone who hears him can imagine he should hold a job, much less this one.
And he seems to say the quiet part under his breath: he wants to abolish DEI *because* DEI saves Black lives.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
Jesse Singal: spends an entire decade trying to uncover a massive wave of desisters & detransitioners that never materialized
also Jesse Singal: "trans people are the real conspiracy theorists!"
Y'all I work in wildfire and can only call and scream at my useless rep so many times.
Please do me a solid and threaten the comfort and security of yours over this. Thank you.
(meeting a gay furry couple) so which one's the porn artist and which one's the systems architect
Okay CTA. This is a good sign.
two screenshots from The X-Files, one right after the other. the first is Gillian Anderson in a dark room, out of focus, the top half of her face in shadows, her glasses reflecting the blue background and white text of her computer screen (which is out of frame). the second shot has pulled her face into focus, the text is no longer visible in glasses, but the lgasses are still heavily blue, her eyes just visible behind them. it's unreal
god this is so fucking sick, just unreal
Desafortunadamente, soy yo.
I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

TMZ asked John Cena if he thinks WWE is ready for a transgender wrestler.
Three smiling transmasculine athletes stand arm-in-arm on a rocky beach. The person on the left wears a black and white cycling jersey reading "BODIES ARE NOT BANS," black cycling shorts, and holds a transgender pride flag draped over their shoulder. The person in the middle wears black swim briefs and has a finisher medal around their neck. The shirtless person on the right has multiple tattoos, wears black running shorts with a small trans flag patch, and is holding up their finisher medal. The individuals in the middle and on the right have visible top surgery scars. The logo for the publication "them" is in the top left corner. Large white text overlaid across the bottom of the image reads: "A Transmasc Ironman Trio Won Third Place in a Relay, Beating Over 200 Other Teams by Mathew Rodriguez".
When trans masc athletes start winning competitions regularly, they'll ban them too and use the excuse of "doping" to do it. That blows up their whole "biological sex" argument though.
“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.”
I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics:

"Instructions on Not Giving Up" Ada Limón, 1976 More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees that really gets to me. When all the shock of white and taffy, the world’s baubles and trinkets, leave the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath, the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin growing over whatever winter did to us, a return to the strange idea of continuous living despite the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then, I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all.
it doesn't feel like it, but we'll have real spring soon
The key to understanding Trump II is that it’s an administration predicated on doing a national murder-suicide for the crime of embarrassing Trump in 2020
a meme from Lord of the Rings in which Gandalf has been replaced by a trans flag. "You're late", says Frodo. Gandalf/trans flag replies: "A transition is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to."
this made me feel a little better, swiped off reddit

Sometimes I remember that there are people I've been mutuals with since 2009-2010, and it's incredible that they're still around and, more importantly, that we've followed each other on all the platforms we've been on.
Even though we don't talk much, or at all, it feels good.
