it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

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.

Moisture from what remains of a hurricane was hanging over the Southwest U.S. like a wet sponge on Saturday and will bring a chance of significant heavy rainfall and flash flooding to some places through Sunday and into the coming week.

Parts of the Southwest Get More Than a Month’s Rain in One Day

Moisture from a former Pacific hurricane delivered an onslaught of heavy rain across desert areas like Phoenix.

True but the looney leftists only seem to care about Palestine and not a peep about the black and brown people being kidnapped off American streets. I guess the GOP only pays you to whine about Gaza and not what is happening here

The "I don't want my tax money murdering children and families in Palestine" folks.

Well, your tax money is being used to bomb fishing vessels under the false narrative of them being drug traffickers.

Those are fathers, brothers, sons, and uncles.

You mad about that too? Or nah?

In southern Lebanon, Israeli troops may no longer occupy towns on foot — but for residents, the war continues overhead and from nearby hilltops.

Drones patrol daily, striking without warning. Snipers stationed on Israeli-held ridges watch roads, rooftops, and fields.

Peak Zionist brain rot thinking that…

Palestinians don’t know what’s best for themselves.

The only thing that’s best for Palestinians is the ethnic cleansing of their people.

Ghoulish fucking ideology.

You'll never satisfy them. Don't bother. They never cared about the kids. They're just moral narcissists. The conflict exists to them for the purpose of using it as cudgel to bludgeon jews with, while they sit in a Bushwick dive bar thinking they know what's best for Palestinians.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

This is incredibly fucking harmful to spread misinformation like this. This is a fucking fake video and there are plenty of real videos of real crimes being committed by law enforcement. You don’t need to do this.

Them: No, I saw Saw.

We should show people how police dogs are trained, in light of all this "hasan bad" drama, maybe we can actually stop real animal abuse.
