This article quotes the university president saying Lia was on the women's swimming and diving team, but she's not on this year's roster on their athletic department website. The NCAA banned her from being on the team when Trump first took office.
I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives
Posted by Block Club Chicago: "Cycling x Solidarity's latest mutual aid effort takes cyclists on group rides through Pilsen and other neighborhoods to buy out tamale vendors so they can stay home as ICE swarm the city. They pass out to food to people in need."
Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game
a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.
Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

The key to modern American politics is that the Confederacy never went away. There was no punishment for their treason and it quietly became a Cold War.
The states currently sending troops to DC have masturbated to the idea of their soldiers marching through DC streets for generations.
Time's up. Either you have the Flick or you don't. And then there are the 7UPs. Never had it, never will.
This is a day that should be known by every worker in America. It is *not* simple. It is *not* straightforward.
But the results are. It was a bad day for American workers. #PATCO #NATCA
I wish I could write this succinctly.

Reminiscent of Gulliver and the Lilliputians, an older trans femme is tied down by many threads, set by a legion of smaller people. Her sweater is trans coded, and her jacket lapel shows transbian colors.
I am both Doctor Frankenstein, experimenting with forces society forbids, and simultaneously I am his Creature, seeking to find my place in a hostile world, harassed by ignorant, fearful, superstitious villagers.
In a related way, I am both Dr Frankenstein, experimenting in ways society disapproves on, and also their Creature, struggling to find a place in the world, harassed by people who are ignorant and afraid.

UPMC is forcing their trans patients under 19 to taper off their medication while simultaneously telling their emergency staff to expect more suicide attempts, mental health crises, and psychotic episodes as a result of being forcefully pulled off their medication.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Alt text: A screenshot of an article excerpt reporting on Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s Evin prison, which killed 79 people and destroyed parts of the facility. The text states that about 100 transgender inmates are missing and presumed dead after their section of the prison was flattened. Reza Shafakhah, a human rights lawyer, says the Iranian government often treats being transgender as a crime. It also mentions the death of the prison’s chief prosecutor, Ali Ghanaatkar, and one of his deputies.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.
This is unspeakable evil.
