Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

Abolish ICE, prosecute their agents.
ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Gender markers shouldn't even be on passports at all in the first place. They are unnecessary and I'm glad Justice Jackson hints at this. They weren't even added until 1972 when women started to be able to travel independently of their husbands and fathers.

The Israelis were able to kill top Iranian leaders with extreme precision strikes on their apartment only. But suddenly they bombed an entire wing that primarily housed trans people?

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.
This is unspeakable evil.

A 16 year old trans girl attempted suicide on a bridge. Fortunately, concerned friends manage to save her by contacting emergency services who stopped her from jumping.

On this day more than 50 years ago, Sylvia Rivera climbed onto a stage to advocate for incarcerated trans people at a Pride rally and demanded trans inclusion in the fight for rights.
