CBS naming Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief isn’t progress — it’s PR for prejudice. Weiss has spent years dressing up anti-trans and anti-“woke” rhetoric as free speech. Representation without accountability isn’t liberation.

By platforming anti-trans content, Bari Weiss has betrayed her community

Queer students are left holding the line as universities bow to Trump, @nickfulton.bsky.social reports. As colleges across the country shuttered LGBTQIA+ resource centers & other supports, students are stepping up to protect each other.

The shooter is a white straight cisgender male with no criminal record. Don't let that slip through the cracks.

If you are anti-war, pro-gun control, a prison abolitionist, pro-Palestine, anti-captial punishment, you should not be cheering on what happened today.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

#CharlieKirk spent his career advocating for the exact opposite of everything I stand for. That does not matter. If you support an assassination, how do you have the moral grounds to talk about the death penalty, gun control, political violence, or any other evil we spend careers fighting against.

Nick Fulton @nickfulton.bsky.social · Sep 10

There is a genocide in #Gaza, liberation for Palestine NOW. America is so obsessed with guns that children are dying during math class, #guncontrol NOW. Political violence has made an assassination a supportable response to disagreement, THAT is disgusting and terrifying. All these things are true.

Nick Fulton @nickfulton.bsky.social · Sep 10

I’m not gonna cheer on an assassination. #CharlieKirk was just about as horrible as a person can be. That doesn’t justify his murder. If you are applauding gun violence today you lose the ground to talk about prevention tomorrow.

Yesterday, I saw some organizations and leaders with union busting reputations post #LaborDay content. You are not for the worker and against the #union. You are not for #justice and against organizing.

"The only consistent connection between trans people and violence is that trans people are disproportionately on the receiving end. They are not behind the trigger; they are the ones most often staring down the barrel," writes @nickfulton.bsky.social.

From my recent with @salon.com: “Westman identified as a trans woman. And for that, she became an instant effigy for MAGA’s habitual and baseless attempt to link trans identity with mass shootings.”

My latest with @lovebscott.bsky.social covers the transphobic "charity" @sexmattersuk.bsky.social and their work to exclude trans people from every facet of public life.

Inside the Charity That Advocates for a World With Less Trans Folx

An organization in the U.K. works to exclude trans people from public life. Sex Matter's mission is to spread "gender-critical" language.

Today United States Attorney Pirro said she doesn’t care about the root causes of crime. This is a PERFECT example of how ineffective Trump’s orders will be. When you ignore the root, all you do it water weeds.

Nick Fulton @nickfulton.bsky.social · Aug 12

To people saying “DC is still dangerous” or “crime doesn’t feel down.” Your feelings are valid, but they are not a reflection of a city of 700,000. Crime prevention is not a single home issue. It’s a city wide movement where communities come together to create safer spaces.
