“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

ICYMI: I asked a bunch of biologists to weigh in on Trump's *official* definitions of "male" and "female" in his executive order declaring only 2 sexes.

They are as "nonsensical" as they are embarrassingly detached from basic human biology. www.huffpost.com/entry/biolog...
Biologists Rip Trump’s 'Non-Sensical' Executive Order Declaring Only 2 Sexes
“Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science,” said Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association.

ICE is raiding schools; Navajo are threatened with “deportation,” in the first hints of an ethnic cleansing campaign; the federal government is resegregating with snitch tags on everyone who resists; the NIH is frozen; private institutions are acquiescing rapidly…

It is day 4.

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born #OnThisDay in 1929; he was reviled by #Democrats & Republicans alike for his criticism of #capitalism, militarism, racism & the #VietnamWar & we honor his memory by recalling the radical #MLK & the transformative politics he espoused~!

i know a lot of commentary around the ceasefire deal is like “trump strong armed netanyahu” but that reads to me like some bullshit. netanyahu & israel are super fans of trump, and it was speculated prior to the election that israel was being exceptionally volatile because that makes biden look bad

Sorry/not sorry but I refuse to give credit for the #ceasefiredeal to the #Democrats or the #Republicans. We've reached this moment due to nothing less than the resilient will & courage of the #Palestinianpeople & the tenacious pressure of #ProPalestine protesters worldwide.

republicans feel bold to openly claim they want to revert LGBTQ rights and public perception of LGBTQ people back to before the 2000s era

It feels like Bluesky is having a fair number of access hiccups today and I am personally okay with cutting them some slack about it because there are, like, 20 staff to to handle being the Sudden New Hotness in Social Media
