It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This is the pettiest of complaints, but I’m sick of websites and apps removing “no” as an option. It’s been replaced by “maybe later” or “ask again later.”

I swear there is a direct line between anger about women’s consent and this and it WILL be what drives me to villainy.

Also still looking for copies of QueerTrek zine I worked on in RVA in '98-'01, if any collectors have any of em.

🧵 on full loss of all creative works, creative presence, & community.

TW: loss, housefire

Doesn't have much of a point, I just want folks to understand, maybe See Me a bit, even with nothing to show anymore.

♿🏳️‍⚧️ Need Dental Funds ASAP! @wylder.bsky.social · May 4

I had a realization a little over a week ago that almost none of my creative works exist anymore.

None of my nonfiction writing got WayBacked. I didnt know it wasnt automatic. I deleted my Deviant Art last year without realizing the house fire made it the only copy of most of my art in existence.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.
