Protest tomorrow at Fenway Health at noon over abandoning trans youth. If you're in Boston, come out and support.
A colorful flyer with a textured background promoting an event titled β€œPaint and Protest for Trans Care.” The text reads: β€œSaturday, 11/1, @12pm - 1340 Boylston St. - @ProtectTransFutures.” It invites people to join for an afternoon of sign making, chalk art, and hot chocolate to show support for gender-affirming care at Fenway Health. It states the protest welcomes community members of all ages and encourages bringing friends, kids, and neighbors. It also mentions that those unable to attend can donate art supplies by contacting @ProtectTransFutures on Instagram. At the bottom, bold text reads: β€œOUR GOAL: Bring the Boston community together to show Fenway Health that we won’t turn our backs on trans youth. Healthcare is a human right.” Logos for ACT UP Boston and Protect Trans Futures (PTF) appear at the bottom.

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates.

Kat Abughazaleh must not be imprisoned for fighting against the President’s fascism.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

ICE just detained two SUNY Upstate hospital cleaning staffΒ on their way to court to finalize their legal status.

These unsung heroes help keep patients safe from infections.

There’s not much of substance here. A bunch of hearsay about posts people aren’t screenshotting. Not everything episode say on the internet is true. But it is enough to get me to do some research on who’s behind it and what problematic things they’ve said.

Trump’s DOJ unsealed an indictment against six protestersβ€”including Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, for allegedly impeding an ICE officer outside of a detention facility.

The move is a stunning continuation of Trump’s weaponization of judicial and police power to crush dissent.
House candidate Kat Abughazaleh calls her indictment for protesting a "political prosecution”
β€œThis case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them.”

Kat Abughazaleh (@katmabu.bsky.social) has just been indicted by the DOJ over participation in protests against ICE at its Broadview facility in Illinois. This is a brazen weaponization of the DOJ to target political opponents with bogus charges.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
A scanned legal document from the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, titled β€œUNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MICHAEL RABBITT, KATHERINE MARIE ABUGHAZALEH, ANDRE MARTIN, CATHERINE SHARP, BRIAN STRAW, and JOSELYN WALSH.” It shows case number 1:25-cr-00693, filed on October 23, 2025, before Judge April M. Perry and Magistrate Judge Heather K. McShain. The document is marked β€œUNDER SEAL” and notes violations under Title 18, U.S. Code, Sections 111(a)(1), 372, and 2. The first section is labeled COUNT ONE and begins: β€œThe SPECIAL JUNE 2024 GRAND JURY charges:” followed by four subpoints (a–d) describing an ICE officer (β€œAgent A”), the Broadview Service Staging Area in Illinois, and the defendants’ residences in the Northern District of Illinois. A red β€œFILED 10/23/2025” stamp appears at the top right, along with the signature of THOMAS G. BRUTON, Clerk, U.S. District Court. A page from a U.S. District Court indictment titled β€œCOUNT THREE” in case number 1:25-cr-00693, filed October 23, 2025, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The document states that the Special June 2024 Grand Jury incorporates previous allegations and charges that on or about September 26, 2025, in Broadview, Illinois, defendant Katherine Marie Abughazaleh β€œforcibly impeded, intimidated, and interfered with an officer of the United States, namely Agent A,” while the officer was performing official duties. It concludes that this conduct violated Title 18, United States Code, Sections 111(a)(1) and 2.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

How many lives did you destroy leaking children's medical records to anti trans activists? How many families had to uproot their lives and move out of state to get care you helped get banned?

Are we supposed to feel bad? It's called karma.
Alt text: A screenshot of a social media post from the account β€œJamie Reed Whistle…” on X.com, with the handle @JamieWhistle. The post reads: β€œI am the whistleblower in this video. I have lost my career, my income, my retirement, my children’s college fund (5 children) and my marriage. I ask for no pity or forgiveness, I simply ask that we work together to outlaw these practices. I am one of the greatest tools available for this movement, use me.” The profile picture shows a woman with light skin, long hair, and red lipstick.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
