I miss being anon. An “ally” photojournalist told the feds who runs the @eyerolls accts (knowing I have a trans teen at home) and it’ll never be the same.

There are so many reasons we should be allowed to be anonymous online. Freedom of speech being just one of them

“The easiest thing we could do is a general strike.

Stay home, that’s all we asking.

And I guarantee every billionaire in this country that’s gonna lose all their millions of dollars in one day — they’re gonna be at our feet…

But that’s up to us.”

ICE arrests Nashville journalist as free press groups demand her release Arrest of Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez Florez shows ‘cruel disregard’ for protections for asylum seeking reporters, advocates say

Dictators abroad target independent press to terrorize journalists & chill the public. Trump does the same thing targeting vocal & vulnerable voices here. Thanks @the-independent.com for featuring my condemnation of ICE detaining Rodriguez: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

‘Mass incarceration’ is a liberal myth. The truth is far worse. “The masses are not being policed, targeted, and incarcerated,” Distinguished Professor and author Dylan Rodríguez says; “it's a targeted war with asymmetrical casualties.”

Distinguished professor Dylan Rodriguez — @dylanrodriguez.bsky.social — speaks with former political prisoner and Black Panther Mansa Musa about “the horrifying truth” behind the prison industrial complex — and the politics that “dilute the power of radical movements trying to dismantle it”

Bryan Betancur live-streamed threats to bash my head which was a violation of his probation for violating a 3 year anti-stalking order of another woman.

He had violated the anti-stalking order on her multiple times at the time of filming but I guess this was the judges red line so he went to jail.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

Because cops don't actually know the law and just do what they're told to do, or arrest ppl that irritate them (not an arrestable offense), or just lie like they always do.

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been "inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East. Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had "urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ." "He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy." MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received 110+ complaints from US service members across 30+ sites about commanders using religious rhetoric

Including calling the war with Iran "part of God's plan" and Trump "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon”

‘Very Real Barriers.’ Trans Voters in Texas Are Worried About Casting Their Ballots. Primary Election Day is Tuesday. And nonprofits that protect LGBTQ+ rights are monitoring what’s playing out at polling locations.

New today @thebarbedwire.com: “Trans voters are left vulnerable to being outed, questioned, or turned away, which creates very real barriers to casting a ballot ... This fear & confusion has a purpose in trying to silence our voices & keep trans people from participating fully in our democracy.”

Trump Administration, in Reversal, Tries to Continue Fight Against Law Firms

Erratic attacks on law firms is emblematic of the chaotic, relentless tactics Trump uses to keep every sector on their back foot. This defensiveness works -- it distracts us from yesterday's news & prevents coordinated, proactive resistance. But don't be fooled. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

When clinics started putting out research that 97.5% of trans youth who socially transitioned maintained a stable gender identity for 5 years,the reaction was never going to be, "I guess this isn't a phase." It was always going to be to ban social transition.

Felony disenfranchisement must end, once and for all Despite the possible consequences on election outcomes, felony disenfranchisement fails to receive the degree of attention and condemnation it warrants.

NEW: Felony disenfranchisement is one of the most widespread forms of voter suppression.

Virginia, a state known for being one of the harshest examples of this discriminatory practice, is close to abolishing it — and voters will have the final say this fall, @anjalienjeti.bsky.social writes.
