Meme from The Office featuring Pam and Angela. Pam is pointing to two posters on the wall. one at the top showing the official Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show featuring Bad Bunny, and one below it showing Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” flyer with the tagline “Faith, Family, & Freedom.” The caption reads, “Right, and if you’re interested in the way more fun party, all the info can be found here on our more brightly colored flyer.”

Obviously a subskeet here, I'm trying not to put too much negative energy in the space, but it sucks to see other trans people say that our work is useless while we are processing trauma from this work in real time.

If capitalism falls tomorrow, nonprofits will be obsolete. Some folks seem to believe that a function of capitalism will save us. It won't.

But that doesn't change the fact that staff are doing incredible work. You may not see it in the media, but that doesn't mean our work is “useless.”

This morning, my husband & I spent our time dreaming up our dream nursery, which we hope we will have a reason to create soon.

We are dreaming of our trans futures regardless. This is how we hope: we will focus not only on the trans joy we have currently but also on the trans joy in the future.

Yesterday, I drove my friend from the hospital for gender affirming surgery and had a party in her home with other trans friends.

Reminds me that no matter what happens, trans people will continue to choose to fucking live.

I'm emotional.

Fascists want to paint being anti-fascist as an organization because they want to target individual leaders and disrupt collective action. This is why having a “face” for a movement doesn’t work for us- what’s going on in Nepal is evidence of this.

For my newsletter, I interviewed Chastity Bowick, the new executive director of the Marsha P. Johnson Interview about what white trans folks (and cis people) can learn from the Black trans community who have always been under this type of overwhelming oppression. www.burnsnotice.com/black-trans-...

Black Trans Folks Have Been Here Before

A timely interview with Chastity Bowick, the new Executive Director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. This interview has been edited for clarity and may differ slightly from the audio version. I've...

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

If you didn't want Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish in the US, you should've thought about that before you colonized the island and forcefully made it a part of the US.

A screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG). The tweet reads:
"Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime.

It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America.

And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows."

The tweet was posted at 10:48 AM on October 6, 2025, has 144.4K views, 954 replies, 1.2K retweets, 7.3K likes, and 70 bookmarks.

That’s why this, was a badge of honor.

She is not an expert nor a fact finder.

She doesn’t belong in journalism nor health policy expertise.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 6d

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

Why do we exist in a world that allows a young person to be beaten, dehumanized, and forced to live in very harsh conditions just because she wanted to feed and clothe people who have faced the worst violence?

Cruelty for crulety’s sake.

When will the horrors stop?

Politicians who cyberbully the President on social media but literally do not do anything else policy-wise are not fighting fascism.

Hope that helps.
