The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICEโs recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.
We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here
CBS has cancelled a story about the Christmas Nigeria bombings because Bari Weiss complained it implied that Nigerians are human beings without seeking an alternative perspective from Steven Miller.
If Bari Weiss wants it buried? Then it must be true and damning. Time to Barbara Streisand this story!!!
Any whistleblowers available to spread the good word? Can we apply pressure thru advertisers?
THE MORE THEY TRY TO SILENCE US THE LOUDER WE WILL BE
A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social
The IDF didn't just strike near a hospital. They systematically targeted and destroyed the equipment at the only cancer treatment facility in all of Gaza.
Let's be perfectly clear about the depths of evil we are witnessing. This is your US tax dollars at work.
Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! ๐ค
l look forward to hating on Mayor Mamdani. I know the veneer of progressivism will come off sooner than I want or expect. But for tonight I'm so grateful to have a Mayor
Mamdani.
After January 6, 2021, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Comcast publicly pledged to stop donating to politicians who sought to undermine the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election.
In 2025, these companies have stopped worrying about democracy and are buying Trump a ballroom.
A series of six black and red wheat pasted posters on a white wall. The three black posters read โinvest like the oligarchyโ. The three red posters read โthis should not be legal.โ The tagline at the bottom reads if you canโt beat them join them. All of the posters are advertisements for an investment product. ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
Whatever stage of capitalism this is, I hate it. Can we please make this stop?
I donโt want to invest like the oligarchy. I donโt want Congress trading stocks on inside info. I donโt want to live in a world where instead of dismantling awful systems, we tell people they should make money off them.
Walking only blocks from Stonewall, AIDS Memorial and the Center ystdy and thinking that the West Village / Chelsea is still a gayborhood but a specifically yt, cis, wealthy gayborhood. And was hit with the sudden realization that yes this area remains gay but it not even close to queer.
Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her
Try not to get too invested in electoral politics but have to say this: Friends donโt let friends rank Cuomo!!!
We are going to have to get good at rapidly evolving our approaches as state repression increases. Itโs important that we share stories so that we can decide if and how to adapt to changing contexts.
Pay attention to what works. Notice why it works. Share what works with others.
Seeing lots of tactics (from direct action to boycotts) that are working. Wondering if I can enlist some more folks to share and reshare these tips (for educational purposes only) with the people you know.
Please for the love of NYC, do NOT rank Cuomo!!!
I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA โ and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA โ and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.
People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.
Thereโs been a huge uptick in state violence & itโs going to continue. Check on your ppl. Ask for the care you need. Set a pace you can maintain. Get into the habit of resting and returning to the work. We need everyone but not all in the same way or at the same time. And for ๐ฆ sake mask tf up!
If you canโt take on sig known risk, thereโs need for jail support @7th precinct (Delaney/Pitt) and aftercare for all over the coming days..weeks.
That last part goes for non-NYErs too.
AS OF 5:15 PM MORE CONCERNED SOULS NEEDED RIGHT TF NOW. Mask up / goggle up. There are reports NYPD is attacking bystanders including with mace / pepper spray (tbc).
TODAY ICE is trying to transport them to detention far away from family. All out to protect our community NOW!
Meet at Duane st by the African Burial Ground!!!!
NYPD MOBILIZING, COLLABORATING W ICE. MORE FOLKS NEEDED ON THE GROUND!
๐จ๐จRAPID RESPONSE NEEDED NOW ALL HANDS๐จ๐จ SAT JUN 7@1:15PM ICE IS MOVING FOLKS
100+ community members kidnapped by ICE have been crammed into horrific conditions including bathrooms for DAYS at 26 Federal Plaza.
I use โregimeโ which doesnโt have the same underworld implications but still imho captures its nefarious nature.
Martial law is never about safety. Itโs about control. Military vehicles + ICE = open season on dissent. This is the authoritarian playbook in full effect.
"Ethnic cleansing has become the official policy of Israel. The nationโs leaders are admitting it, without apology. There was barely a pretense before. But now thereโs not even that. And these admissions, combined with mass killing on the ground, point to something even more horrific: genocide."
Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly โobstructingโ ICE.
Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings.
This mess is escalating fast.
Universities are not actually extensions of political agendas in a free society (or shouldn't be), so having this be the baseline is incredibly disturbing and a big red flag.
