The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

About time a mainstream journalist found their spine, hope he keeps it up.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Blueprint

4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you
think of the radical left
fearmongering that
we could someday see
fascism in the u.s.?
she replies :
dear
boy, the u.s. has
been a blueprint
for fascism all
along.
hitler specifically cited
jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege-
nation and white-only immi-
gration laws as inspiration
for his eugenics policies.
germany sent people to study
what was being done in the
u.s. to export it over there.
in the 30s, tens of thousands
of americans attended massive
rallies by fascist groups such as
the friends of new germany or
the german american bund.

then in the 40s, two dozen
congresspeople were charged with
sedition for planning a fascist
overthrow of the government.
and since wwII, the
amount of fascist groups
and militias has been
exponential.
not only can
fascism come to
the u.s., it has
always been an
inherent part
of american
society.

23 years ago I came out to my parents and siblings as gay, and then a year ago I came out again to them as trans. One thing I wish I could tell my younger self is that it does get better. #itgetsbetter #itwillgetbetter #translivesmatter

"I’d never seen an ICE arrest in person – only on the news and in videos online. And while it’s true I didn’t know anything about Samuel – or witness the interaction that led to him sprinting through the parking lot – nothing about this encounter felt official."

Reporter’s Notebook: I stopped for gas and witnessed an ICE arrest. Then, I spent days looking for the man who was detained. | CNN

A black KIA peeled into the gas station and pulled next to the man at pump 1. Instantly, the passenger door opened and someone in khakis, a full-face balaclava and a tactical vest jumped out. It took ...

No one in this city wants ICE or the military here. These fucking animals were dragging naked CHILDREN FROM THEIR FUCKING BEDS! This is a gross and absolutely disgusting abuse of power the likes of which this country has never seen. I’m so disappointed in everyone who voted for this shit

And that is why Mr. Jeffries is not a good leader. He needs to step down and let someone with a spine step up.

August🏳️‍⚧️ @magisterlight.bsky.social · 17d

Step down as minority leader, you are a coward for supporting Adams. You and chuck are some of the worst dem leaders I have ever seen.

As a German I want to tell all ICE brownshir... 'agents', I meant 'agents', the following fact:

"I just followed orders" wasn't a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials. And it isn't now either.

You should remember that when you're on trial.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.
