A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

In August 2020, police committed dreadful abuses during a weeks-long operation in Brazil's Amazon. This was not the work of a few “bad apples.” A community leader said that a military police commander watched as officers tortured him. No one has been held accountable. www.hrw.org/news/2026/08...

Terror in the Amazon

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

These 2 assholes decided it was a good idea to assault my partner and subject us both to transphobia. It happened in Castle Meadow, Norwich at around 16:55 and the next 15 minutes after they came back twice to subject us to transphobia and tell us to die in a river. . Make them famous.

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”

this story should be national news during pride month and instead barely anyone knows about it

Screenshot of article:
A lawsuit challenging Idaho's transgender bathroom ban in K-12 public schools could end soon, after a group at Boise High School suing over the law dropped the case.
The move came after a transgender student who was part of Boise High School's Sexuality and Gender Alliance died by suicide, and another stopped attending the school, the group's lawyers wrote in a legal agreement reached Wednesday requesting the case be dismissed.

Happy Juneteenth. Specially at a time in history where racial violence is on the rise, it's essential to remember that no rights have been given to black people, they've conquered them.

Cops violently arresting protesters from the Jewish Bloc for Palestine yesterday protesting the selling of Palestinian lands called “the Great Israeli Real Estate”. www.instagram.com/reel/DZkJCxm... There is only permissible way to be Jewish in the UK, and that is one who shuts up about Israel

It’s bcs they don’t view Jews as a real ppl with a diverse community. That’s why they have absolutely no interest in talking to/about, let alone platforming, Jews who do not share Labour’s obsession with demonising the pro-Palestine mvmnt - especially those who are part of it.
