Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

But far beneath this wondrous world upon the surface, another and still stranger world met our eyes as we gazed over the side.

This is horrific, but just wanted to highlight this quote from a trans kid: “I don’t have to live my life as someone I am not. I am choosing to be brave and assert myself in my true identity, even though it is not socially acceptable. My name is MINE, and mine only. I own this part of myself.”
NEW @teenvogue.com: a Texas bill passed this summer mandating schools deadname trans students, leaving enforcement to districts. @kitoconnell.com speaks to trans students in TX:
“I’ve never felt more at threat here. I can’t stop thinking that everything would be so different if I detransitioned.”
“I’ve never felt more at threat here. I can’t stop thinking that everything would be so different if I detransitioned.”
Some Texas Schools Are Making Teachers Deadname Trans Students After New Bill Passed
“This can’t be interpreted as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.”

I am genuinely confused by all this pageantry. He was not an elected official. I cannot think of another time a regular citizen being killed garnered this response. It’s perverse.

No words for this other than it’s so clear they’re all in on this
Wait: it wasn’t enough when a day laborer died on the 210 while fleeing on foot from an ICE raid? Or when a farm worker died in Camarillo after falling off a roof where he’d taken refuge? Only *now* is “enough”?

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.”
They bend the knee without even being asked.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
