The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

"No one expects you to give up rights," We have already given up rights, and there are Democrats who insist we must give up more. That's **bad** Furthermore, trans people vote 85% Dem. IDK if you're a cis man or a cis woman, but either way, your demographic doesn't vote Dem at nearly that. So...?

"Je voudrais pouvoir 'share your pain.'" "Bien sûr! Acceptez cet baguette, s'il vous plaît."

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Lastly, this has been the toughest month of my career for subscription cancellations. I know money is tight for everyone right now, but I couldn't continue my career without reader support. If you have $5/mo or $50/year (or $10/$100), now would be a great time to subscribe. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Nor’easter Heading Towards N.E. In anyone is wondering what the nor’easter heading this way is like, I spent time on a cruise ship trying to avoid the last couple of days. Winds broadside to the boat at 66 mph. It was less than fun. #noreaster #cruising

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker. 

This active state targeting of LGBTQ+ people in Turkey in recent days should be getting a lot more attention: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... There is a petition campaign here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Seems like a good time to re-up this post. It is a list of 26 Dems at the statewide/national level that have made anti-trans statements or voted anti-trans policies. I do not advocate for abstaining from all of the ones on this list, but if the worst offenders who call us “biological men,” I do.

AN URGENT EXCLUSIVE: Ahmed Soliman, the 30-year-old gay man ICE expelled in April to Equatorial Guinea, a country he has no ties to, was arrested this morning and cannot be located, his attorneys say. They fear he may be in one of EG's torture prisons. prospect.org/2026/09/11/i...

Hello, I was hoping to avoid doing this, but I am asking for help paying for my hernia surgery. I need about $6800 to cover it and I simply do not have the money to cover it. If you're able, I would appreciate your help. <3 gofund.me/db73f7f90

Charlie Cook, who's handicapped elections for decades, tells me he's never seen anything like the fiasco Trump foisted on GOP. "Rs are so underperforming," he says, that "the normal rules don’t seem to be applying." On the pod he explains why GOP may lose Sen/House: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Bonus points for use of "lickspittles".

I don’t think there’s really even a colorable argument that this isn’t mass murder. theintercept.com/2026/09/02/m...

POW! THWACK! SMITE!

There's been so many Trump administration attacks on trans healthcare lately it's almost hard to keep track, and easy to get exhausted. But I think we're going to be hearing a lot more of this "billing code fraud" line, so I dove in: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you read one thing this week, please make it this article. Julia has done incredible things for this nation. Silently... until now. She knows the stakes like few others. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Oh, fuck off. You say, "Of course. We welcome anyone who wants to work with us to solve the problems..." blah, blah, blah. God, they just fucking suck at this easy stuff.

Fwiw, this is a moment when trans ppl are facing intense bigotry and right-wing extremists have targeted the WNBA with bogus claims in an effort to further their hateful agenda. 🧵

This week I sat down with Bernie Wagenblast, the voice of the NYC subway system - a sound that any New Yorker can recognize almost instantly. We discussed how she got the job, her experience as a trans woman in New York City, and so much more. Watch the full stream below: youtu.be/XuAqiaCvxT8?...

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Decided to visit Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam CT. Beautiful views of the CT River. #gillettecastle

Breaking: Judge Ana Reyes has demanded an explanation from the Trump administration regarding Pete Hegseth’s "High-T" troops since the Pentagon has said in court that hormone therapy for trans troops makes them unfit to serve and is too expensive. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

I did a thing with IEEE Spectrum! Check it out if you haven't had a chance to read. You'll learn some terrible truths about LLMs and their developers, as well as why I'm such a bitter bastard 😉. spectrum.ieee.org/jailbreaking...

Update: I've completed profiles for all organizations listed as "conversion practices" in Amnesty International UK's report: Core Issues Trust IFTCC Living Out Genspect Therapy First Thoughtful Therapists SEGM CAN-SG Journey UK True Freedom Trust Living Faith www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

Let’s be clear Stella O’Malley is a conversion therapist and a criminal. And Genspect is a organised crime syndicate.

1/🧵 I am proud to be a steadfast human rights lawyer who will always speak the truth. Meanwhile, check out this comprehensive list of anti-trans hate groups and collaborators. I’ve just updated it. Hate groups are not powerful, and we can eliminate them together.

"BIDDEFORD, Maine (WGME) -- A person is dead following a shooting involving ICE in Biddeford, according to House Speaker Ryan Fecteau." wgme.com/news/local/i...

These statements from Dem senators on Graham are nauseating. Everything that is wrong with the place

Holy shit, Israeli settlers detained a sitting U.S. congressperson. Their sense of impunity is near-absolute and will continue to be so until they experience actual fucking consequences.

I really question whether I'll still live in the UK a year from now.
