This morning, @evanurquhart.bsky.social returns to the subject of SF Trans March. The march went viral after a politician was forced to leave, but families with trans children fleeing police officers charging them with weapons drawn never reached a wide audience. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
A Fuller Story of this Year’s Trans March - Assigned Media
Media coverage has centered the fears of a cis politician who was yelled at while ignoring families with young children terrorized by police brandishing weapons at peaceful protesters. The journalistic verdict on this year’s Trans March in San Francisco has been rendered: The trans community has been found guilty of being too radical, too frightening, ... Read more

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.
between SFPD storming the trans march on friday and bringing out a whole riot team to violently assault trans people out clubbing on saturday (ZERO articles about this), the brutality during pride weekend is unconscionable. please support everyone who was arrested. if you wanna be an ally, chip in:
Police brutality by SFPD over the weekend led to the arrests and injury of dozens of trans people in San Francisco. Donate to help with their medical and legal fees here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-tr...
A trans girl is not "socialized male" - she's brutalized into hiding herself. What someone is doing when they accuse trans women of "male socialization" is that they are denying us the closet, denying that it is a painful and traumatic experience where the life is choked from us by dysphoria.
When faced with the prospect of a possible lawsuit, many outlets will think twice about their hiring choices. This isn't about merit v. diversity (a stupid construct, IMO). In this climate, even the most qualified women and minority candidates may be passed over to mitigate litigation risk.
These numbers should be amplified everywhere there is a flat surface. The 3,000 person sample size was statistically significant. The direction of travel is positive but runs directly contrary to the perception born in the echo-chamber of Twitter-brained media and politics. (H&CC is a client)
A report by the Hope and Courage Collective, which works to build resilience in communities against rising far-right hate and disinformation, has found a widening gap between public attitudes and political discourse

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool
More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.
Honestly, fuck off.
hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵
Tomorrow night many friends and loved ones are doing this for me and it would be lovely if you shared this and tuned in. I don’t even know the full schedule, by design, so I will be as surprised and delighted as you. I am really humbled by the support I’ve gotten. I will try to live up to it.
This Thursday night, gamers, comedians, and storytellers from your local Internet are hosting a Twitch telethon to help replace the $24k that was stolen from @antlervel.vet. Keep up with the stream all evening, 6pm to midnight ET, at SummerGamesFest.com!
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
TC Pipeline is a trans relocation org located in Colorado which is near Kansas It would be helpful if you could signal boost them. They could use funding and volunteers, and trans folks in Kansas may want to contact them if they need extraction Also: the letters sent may be illegal tcpipeline.org

We are mums. Daughters. Sisters. Survivors. We understand what safety really means. Our voices should never be used to justify exclusion or discrimination of trans people. If you agree, sign our letter: notinourname.org.uk
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.
Rahman: "We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being." She ends with this: "I am not afraid. And I am not afraid to keep working on this problem, even after ICE is gone."
Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."
CBP shot this woman and then defamed her using every means at their disposal. In a just world they would have to turn their whole yearly budget over to her for punitive damages
Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.
Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.
They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
any Dem not running on a platform of "every one of these fuckers from top to bottom is going to prison at best" is not worth your time or notice
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
