A 39-year-old El Salvadoran man, who was being held at Delaney Hall, has died, the man's family says. He's the father of a 12-year-old US citizen daughter and has lived in the country for nearly 20 years. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/08/03/s...

Fellow academics: I know a Haitian PhD student who due to TPS termination needs another institutional affiliation not in the USA. Do you or someone you know have an avenue for them? If so, DM me.

I hate this so much & want every one of those kids to know how much they are loved.

Department of Education will no longer track the bullying of trans & non-binary kids The lack of data collection will leave harm to the children left unreported. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/depa...

Ohmygosh yes! Andy's constant hypocrisy — from our supposed principled journalist with an interest in covering labor struggles — made me want to scream. Feel like I need to get a mini-rant out of my brain. Example 🧵 below (to avoid spoiling anyone who still wants to stream TDWP2)

Immigration news has been SO MUCH to keep track of as it's everywhere all at once, all the time. Collaboration with local cops, new rules for visas and green cards proposed regularly, so many lawsuits attempting to rein in the administration, courts and DHS stripping people of their legal status.

Unbreaking@unbreaking.org · 2d ago

We added so many events to the Immigration timeline this round that our one-paragraph briefing turned into three. 1/9 unbreaking.org/blog/briefin...

Read my July 18 story for the original reporting that the New York Times didn’t link to... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller

Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

🧵 Here's a silly little weekend game. Are these lines from the theme song of: #TheVampireLestat AMC's adaptation of the Anne Rice novel, where Sam Reid's vampire becomes a rock star? OR #RideOrDie with Hannah Waddingham & Octavia Spencer, an action / buddy comedy about an assassin and her BFF?

This week, we have updates from Immigration, Medical Research Funding, Food Safety, and Medicaid. Read the briefings from our teams here: unbreaking.org/blog/briefin...

Briefing: Immigration, Food Safety + more — Unbreaking

Lots of Immigration news, plus updates from Medical Research Funding, Food Safety, and Medicaid.

I swear entertainment headlines are just taunting audiences this week. “We have a D&D sequel script written…but nope, we’re not making it.” “Oh, and one of the best Marvel series made in ages, that we already announced as renewed? Nah, J/K” 😭

This is some bullshit! variety.com/2026/tv/news...

also a good time to support non-transphobic news orgs started by queer and trans people 😉

COYOTE@coyotemedia.org · 6d ago

It’s a good time to support indie news in the Bay Area that won’t salivate over billionaires or throw AI slop all over articles! An annual subscription to COYOTE is 25% til Aug 8 with the code HOTDOG. www.coyotemedia.org/summer-2026-...

it's ASK THE FLYTRAP day! this week, @nicolefroio.bsky.social advises a reader on the endless screaming of it all

Ask The Flytrap: I'm Angry and Afraid Because Everything is Shitty

I feel like screaming all the time, but I'm apparently not supposed to?

If everybody did this, even places where people can't mask effectively (restaurants, bars, etc.) would get safer for everyone because transmission would be lower overall. Audiences mask = performers are safer. Students mask = teachers are safer. We have fuckin' got to learn to help each other out.

📚I'm putting together a virtual panel on LGBTQ+ travel writing for a literary event and I need one more panelist to round it out. Drop a comment or DM me if you've got an LGBTQ travel adjacent memoir or essay collection, or tag someone who could be a fit!

Ha, a fun thought exercise. I’m going with: Scooter sun Kermit moon Starter & Waldorf rising

if you had to pick three muppets to represent you (not your three favorites) who would you pick? greater henson canon counts. I think I'd go Gonzo, Rizzo and Uncle Deadly.

Oh yeah, this broke me in 2020. I went to some of my favorite spots to compare the difference & convinced myself I was in an apocalyptic movie. Sending love + whatever you need to survive to all those affected this year. 😷

Prism is circulating an emergency fundraiser - "extremely wealthy foundations holding billions of dollars are cutting journalism, truth-telling, and narrative shift work from their portfolios."
