On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Another woman killed by an abortion ban.
NEW:

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.

Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

I want to see justice done, but she probably won't get justice. Therefore I want this man to discover internet fame.

I pulled the video from Facebook to post it directly on here. (Thanks to @grenadine.bsky.social for posting the Facebook link!)

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

@eleanormorton.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social Thanks to your upcoming podcast I'm finally getting to Watership Down after years of delay, and to those who want to be entertained I can strongly recommend the audiobook with Peter Capaldi, which is vivid and amazing

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

ICE kidnapped a man in Hillsboro, OR over a week ago and he’s still detained. They know they got the wrong “Victor Cruz” and that his papers were all in order. Yet they are still holding him in jail. Just a blatant abuse of power. www.kgw.com/article/news...

Originally from Mexico, Victor Cruz has lived in Hillsboro for nearly three decades. Last week, masked agents disregarded his legal status and detained him anyway.
