I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

It’s been obvious now for years for Covid-19, but this adds to the evidence for other viral infections.
A number of viral infections, including flu, Covid-19 and shingles, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study affirmed.
Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack

Glad to see something evidence-based examining side-by-side immune system dysfunction and comparisons between HIV and Covid. Not glad to see the results 😭

Hand this to dismissive multi-infection people wondering why they're "sick all the time" or "can't get rid of brain fog."

If you want to know what it's looked like at the ICE facility in Broadview (Chicago), this brilliant photo essay from @almacampos.bsky.social & @pgoyette.bsky.social at @southsideweekly.bsky.social is a very good place to start.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve heard our current US leaders sound like they’re quoting 1984 but they were actually just unironically saying what their policy is

I can only assume that all the politicians proclaiming that violence is never the answer and that we must adhere to law and order will see that this man is stripped of his rank and imprisoned.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Do I have this right? The shooter doesn’t write “abolish ICE”, “destroy ICE”, or “f*uck ICE”? He writes “anti ICE” in blue sharpie and to back up those amazingly milk toast words he shoots detainees but not ICE agents? Either Kash Patel thinks that we are gullible idiots or Kash Patel is a liar.

I’m sorry, a sniper shot three immigrant detainees at an ICE facility but his bullet said “anti-ICE” and it’s ICE agents we need to be worried about protecting? 🤨

Ok, I ill-advisedly watched a few RaptureTok videos that were posted on another platform. I think at least some of these folks genuinely believe this? So how many are there? Because they will feel so embarrassed & hurt & broken when it doesn’t happen… what if some lash out?

I published this piece today, on how the binary gender model and enforced gender roles are a model of hierarchical child abuse that punishes everyone but the capitalists who run the system.

It would mean a lot if you read it. This link is unpaywalled.

Thank you. 💜
