1. New York City Public Schools has announced that it will defy Trump's demands to ban trans students from bathrooms, funding threats be damned.

Instead, it has launched a lawsuit against the admin and declared it will not throw trans students under the bus.

I wish that trans people were left alone so they could just live their lives.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23:

Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Our America is what I chose to read during Hispanic Heritage month. Only about ten pages in but it’s interesting. #reading #books #hispanicheritage #history #ushistory

I’m sorry that you experienced that. He’s a true pos.

tigerchow.bsky.social @tigerchow.bsky.social · Sep 14

I’ve decided that during each heritage month in the US I am going to read a book on that heritage. So if anyone has a recommendation for Hispanic Heritage, please send it my way.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant.

They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.
