UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This is our new billionaire owned media system. Where there is more interest in posing the world is flat takes on science feeds and then monetizing the outrage. I don't know if this is purposeful trolling or not. I do know being the conversation is the whole point.

It's not an exchange of ideas to post click bait about something so ridiculous. It's like post the world is flat and then complaining people don't want to have a serious discussion about it.

It's honestly embarrassing to call these op-ed writers "journalists". They don't uncover information, they just spout their ignorant and emotional opinions into the ether and expect to be taken seriously because they do so from the columns of some big name publication.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Hear me out maybe the reason NYTimes intelligencia spends so much time telling Dems to sympathize w/ people who think George Floyd probably had it coming, women should be equalish but always less citizenship than men, Trans people aren't people etc isn't electoral concerns rather in part believe it

I've been thinking a lot about this since me and @blackjew.bsky.social's daughter was diagnosed with T1 diabetes recently. Because of research advancements, the gap in life expectancy has been shrinking. My Congressman knows research can't bring his daughter back, but knows it could help others.

For generations, the federal government funded research that leads to medical breakthroughs & even cures.

But Trump’s massive cuts at NIH and beyond will make our country sicker, poorer, and worse off.

Like many of you, this is personal for me.

This is really brave if you don't know Jim lost his daughter to cancer recently. She was a strong light on her own right to this community. My heart brakes for him again watching this conversation.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

To all the people saying this is Bait... Yes.. Please make fun and ratio this post but don't click on the link that's what she wants posting it here. For people to read it and criticize it... That's just feeding the troll. Best we can do is make fun of Atlantic writers and otherwise ignore them

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee says they've awarded this year's honor to María Machado of Venezuela. But an AI video posted on the MAGA MOMS 4 LIBERTY Facebook page clearly shows that the prize was awarded to Donald Trump. For busy MAGA moms for liberty, it can be hard to know who to trust.

It's not that radical. These are all fading Silicon Valley stars who had run out of productive ideas & were making bad wagers on new tech- the GOP offered them the same billionaire wealthfare it offered the Earth Barons (those mining & carbon industry guys).
