Walked through those men like they weren’t even there.
Another powerful woman standing up ✊
On November 20, 2025, in Hillsborough, Oregon, a lone woman confronted a squad of heavily armed ICE agents who had set up a roadblock and refused to retreat.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Not-so-gentle reminder that you can critique Trump et. al without describing him as "sick" or "broken" or their white supremacist actions as an illness! They are acting out of bigotry, but disabled folx like me, do not deserve such rampant ableism from you! Disability is not an excuse for bigotry! 🔥
Some thoughts from a fat brown queer disabled immigrant woman & settler on Turtle Island on Trump's 2nd presidential inauguration. You can critique Trump, without resorting to anti-fatness & ableism! Fat disabled folx like myself deserve better from those who claim to be in solidarity with us! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

On an AA flight that landed at JFK waiting for a gate. Two littles were crying because of their ear pain on landing. After a couple minutes the flight attendant started singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star’, the entire plane joined in, the kids stopped crying, and this is the world I wanna live in.

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom?
