A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it.
After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds.
The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism.
Here's to hope ✊
Armed ICE agents are moving through Puerto Rican neighborhoods with assault rifles, threatening residents who film them with pepper spray.
In Villa Capri, a restaurant owner refused agents entry when they tried to enter without a warrant.
Watch and share everywhere!
WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE
LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.
There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots.
That if we give up on sports, this all goes away.
That is a lie.
I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.
On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words.
When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily."

Without a hint of exaggeration, this is where we are now. Joelle was murdered for being trans by the National Health Service

"ICE melts, we don't!" A demonstration in Rogers Park, Chicago, one year after the onset of the "Midway Blitz" wave of ICE assaults and the massive community response. #Chicago#NoICE
In accord with the "melt ICE" theme of the protest, participants (including children) used hot water and salt to melt a block of ice displayed on a table, and also bags of ice cubed poured in the gutter
🚨A pro-Trump oligarch is using his social media platform to shutdown the social media account of the powerful opposition group @indivisible.org. Calling bullsh*t on any excuses given that something similar just happened with Meta in Brazil. This is an outrage.
i’m just so fucking sorry that my muslim friends have to be hit with this despicable racism every single day. it’s not ok and you should not have to tolerate it. this country belongs to all of us.
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."
Leave it to @pablo.show to be the one to obtain the hottest footage of the week: security camera footage from the Brooklyn shop Kelly Clarkson criticized online in several viral tweets.

Hope you can stick around to the very end of this one 🐤👀

“The New York Times reviewed time-stamped images from a security camera at Mr. Talarico’s home, which were provided by his campaign on the condition they not be published for security reasons.
The images showed Mr. Talarico at the home between Oct. 1 and Oct. 8.”
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

Not only is he disgusting as Secretary of Defense and human being, but his dress sense is totally skewed. Why do you wear brown shoes with a gray suit, very disgusting.
I've been first-time watching Season 1 of "The Good Fight" (2017) and wow, it's like it was written yesterday! A network censors content to curry favor with Trump! DOJ promotes police brutality, targets a law firm, engages in grand jury abuse!
Streaming on .. Paramount 😶
People getting Trump's MASSIVE $90 Social Security Bribe Payment should organize some kind of movement to ostentatiously give (if they can afford it) the money to mutual aid, progressive candidates, Gaza relief, trans kids etc.
#fuckyour90dollars#cantbribeus
A very good form of mutual aid is GIVING BLOOD. There is a shortage! Not everyone is able to do this, but if you can, I encourage you to. I have just done this and it went really well and I am eating my free crackers now 🙂
Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now?
Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok
GRAVITY was released 13 years ago this month. Acclaimed as one of the most realistic depictions of space walking ever put on screen, the behind-the-scenes story reveals a masterclass in dedication and skill…

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent.
I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more.
More details below.
