The required trans inclusion training at my job goes really hard on “absolutely everyone has to be able to use the bathroom without being hassled. it is a physical need you 100% have to accommodate, no ifs ands or buts” and I wish that carried over to, like, citywide bathroom access as general right

Equality PAC, the campaigning arm of the Congressional Equality Caucus, announced its endorsement of Marcy Kaptur and other anti-trans Dems days after political ads targeting trans people. Even the LGBTQ+ congressional caucus is throwing trans people aside. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

Several times, people have called in missing persons reports after family or friends disappear, leaving abandoned cars or children and pets waiting. It only became clear what happened when they popped up in ICE’s locator. Now, they’ll simply disappear, potentially to never be heard from again

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
