need help with housing search in toronto or if anyone knows someone as my current place is not safe at all with the landlord's representative threatening me in many ways to leave the place...

100's of fascists storm Dover *explicitly* to block roads with the threat of violence in a racist "protest": No arrests. Just Stop Oil members plan to disrupt a highway in a zoom call: 4-5 year sentences. The pigs don't go after fascists for the same reason Peter Parker never fights Spider-Man.

Believing that other people are real is antifascist praxis.

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.

Even in safe-haven Massachusetts, trans care is at risk. Young people are fighting to protect it

Activists are calling on the state attorney general to take action against hospitals that have ended gender-affirming care programs after Trump retook office

Show up to your local city council, select board, town meeting sessions and demand that they cancel existing contracts AND pass binding resolutions restricting them from future roll outs.

AG Campbell has a duty to uphold the laws of Massachusetts. Her office has neglected to do that while cowardly institutions like Fenway and Baystate Health flagrantly break MA laws by continuing to deny care to trans youth. These young people are braver than anyone in that office. Solidarity ✊🏻

BREAKING: 9 activists arrested protesting gender affirming care reductions in MA More here: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Last night, a group of brave trans activists, healthcare providers, and community members were arrested at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office after self-administering hormone replacement therapy and beginning a sit-in to demand action to restore gender-affirming care for trans youth. (🧵)

Absolutely devastating 48 hours for queer Marxists

The people of Cambridge are among the most progressive in the state, and the Mass Democratic party platform articulates bold progressive policies. Yet the action taken by our state government lags behind our values. Join us by Sept 1st to help change that.

I feel like I'm a 2-3? I am tall though so that might bump it up for some folks.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.

The T is broken because the Legislature is broken. We deserve reliable, safe and affordable public transit, but the Massachusetts Legislature has neglected the MBTA for decades. I am running to invest in building a state that works for all of us.

Massachusetts is the only blue state in the country with a voluntary collaboration agreement with ICE. Ordinary people are showing up to resist this assault on our communities, but our legislature has failed to meet the moment. There are real costs to waiting.

yesterday on my bike ride home in Roxbury I almost got hit by a car three times, despite "following the rules of the road". I slowed down at a crosswalk on Prentiss St with flashing lights which I had right of way at, while a car just straight up sped through the crosswalk.

"My problem is fucking people are dying." This cyclist responding to a truck blocking a bike lane on Comm Ave is a legend and the guy filming is a douchebag. Being pissed, especially after Louisa's death, is reasonable! Cyclists are expected to be nice, even when our friends are getting killed.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

I seriously will not vote for anyone who doesn't full-throatedly call for abolishing ICE. I don't think "disband the fascist goosesteppers who are murdering people in the street" is an unreasonable ask actually.

My former landlord is refusing to give back my security deposit because one of my old roommates caused some damage to the walls that in no way will cost the full security deposit to repair, how's everyone else's day going?

To push back against recent victories by democratic socialists, 15 centrist Democrats on Thursday announced their support for the “Promise to America” manifesto in which they emphasize their support for capitalism, law enforcement, and “fiscal discipline.”

Backed by out of state corporate landlords, the Massachusetts Supreme Court has tanked the rent control ballot question. All hope is not lost, and there is no better time than now to help us make this happen.
