"Bad guys are taking mommies and daddies."

@setharichardson.bsky.social did the painstaking work of talking to children and families about how the Twin Cities ICE raids are affecting their daily lives. And @natasharoy.bsky.social led the edit.

It's a gutwrenching read, but a necessary one:

“I’m OK with crying in front of him," said a mom, "but he’s come up to me a couple times and said, ‘It’s OK mama, I’ll protect you.’ That’s my job as a mom. I need to protect you.”

Vera, 5, is taking matters into her own hands: She sets traps to catch the "naughties."

In late 2025, the FDA warned companies that make and sell chest binders that their products could be seized and their sales could be halted if they continued to market them as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Read @hallielieberman.bsky.social on what that means for trans customers:

Bridgerton fans are getting hyped to step into a new season tomorrow—but can the show improve its depiction of consent? The romance genre has long grappled with how to show people mutually agreeing to sex, and Bridgerton has a chance to improve upon its source material.
