Many on the DOGE team are from Elon Musk’s world in Silicon Valley.

We’ve mapped out a list of people affiliated with DOGE, including creating a searchable table with each member, their corporate history, and the agencies they’ve been connected to.

I would really LOVE if people would take off the blinders and realize what "gang affiliation" means in this country. It means they need something to charge you with that requires evidence of normal human activities rather than crimes.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Protip: as US food safety and inspection standards change, kosher and halal rules won't--especially around cleanliness, contamination, and ethics. Legal categories like "organic" won't be reliable, but kosher and halal certifications are steady. Support your local kosher/halal grocer. (And butcher!)

I need to remind yall twinks and TERF lesbians that the shit does, indeed, flow downhill. Trans people are dealing with it now, but y’all are absolutely next.

So if you want to keep your apartment in Chelsea with your spouse and three legged rescue dog, I suggest pulling your head out your ass.

I'm just constantly remembering those reports I saw out of tumblr back in 2016 suggesting a decent chunk of the online disinfo campaigns targeted leftists, with the specific goal of getting us at each others throats.

pretty much. the baby trans starting area is like Plato’s allegory of the cave, in that they’re learning to see past the shadows and sources of trans/misogyny before emerging into broader communities that fit better as a whole person rather than trans as the only defining characteristic of self.

It's community support work like STAR that gets people to show up for moments like Stonewall.

The first brick counts for very little unless you've done the feeding and sheltering and connecting that ensures there's a second brick, and a third. We protect each other when we matter to each other.

Posting for the pushback on the screenshot paragraph, not the paragraph itself. Please see Te Transfeminine Review's post for a good ensuing thread, including re. the dubious origins of this message.
I understand this take, but it frustrates me a little for two reasons:

1) It assumes marginalized trans people aren't the ones making a microlibrary, when the whole point is to get books to need them most.

2) One of the primary axes of marginalization is a lack of access to libraries or schools.

NYC voters, take notice.
If you wish to vote in New York City's mayoral Dem primary in JUNE (=the election that'll pretty much decide the next mayor), you must be registered as a Democrat *BY FRIDAY.*

An insanely early deadline bound to leave people vote out. At least make sure you're not one of them if you're interested!
