this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over
ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:
Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation
According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

"Male androgenization" is a very broad term, that would potentially include cis women with PCOS. So, 1 in 10 women would be forced to compete in the male category.

This moral panic about intersex people is obscene.

Ended up being a perfect Sunday as a „Wahlkölner“ to commentate on the perfect Köln story here in Köln.
The Uth moments especially emotional! Thanks to everyone who watched around the world.

I didn't want to talk about Kneecap this week, but here we are. On what we choose to be horrified by, and what those choices say about us.

A bigger outcry and investigation into an Irish language rap group than an actual ongoing genocide of eradication, forced starvation and displacement is certainly something alright

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

The poor provision of unisex children’s facilities— which reinforces gender stereotypes and inconveniences women and men both — was, incidentally, an issue I remember being quite talked-about a decade...

Watching Season 2 of Andor (no spoilers) one of whose central messages seems to be “do whatever you can to resist fascism, despite being absolutely terrified of the consequences”, and for that reason alone I love it.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?”

This was their response:

Trump got a list of thousands of people to target by Betar, the fascist movement that dates back to the 1930s. By fascist I mean fascist. It was founded as a fascist group. It is an explicitly genocidal group.

Mahmoud Khalil was just their first target.
