"Courts cannot build chapters. Courts cannot restore shared governance on campus. Courts cannot make a university president brave. Courts cannot save academic freedom. Courts cannot make a faculty organized enough to resist. That is OUR work." - @veenadubal.bsky.social

People with “gender critical beliefs” getting it included in government guidance that you can’t call them horrible transphobic bastards is so wild like I don’t have to spend billions lobbying for legal documents to get people to like me, have you tried being a nice person instead
That episode of Hacks might be the best thing I’ve ever seen on TV.
I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I went to London for the first time last week. The highlights for the theatre kid in me were Stephen Fry and the whole cast of The Importance of Being Earnest, Hot Mess (a musical about climate change) and this Hairspray model at the V&A.
Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

so glad she was able to speak about what happened to her (is still happening). she was selected against her will to become the subject of national attention that was extreme in its arbitrariness and in its hatefulness. just a laser-focused beam of hate directed right on this 19yp girl’s head
For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.
Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
BREAKING — The family abducted by ICE is returning home, per email from Sackets Harbor Superintendent:
New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home. Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:
In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan. Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450. www.syracuse.com/state/2025/0...
This embroidery in Evanston, IL, isn’t the quickest-reading sign of the #HandsOff protests, but it sure does capture the public mood.
1. On Tuesday, voters rejected anti-trans ads, Elon Musk by electing Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was supposed to be close. She won by 10 points. Dems do NOT need to throw trans people under the bus to win. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.
