To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants. This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
A scanned Supreme Court of the United States order, dated November 6, 2025, in the case Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Ashton Orr, et al., No. 25A319. The document discusses an Executive Branch policy requiring passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The highlighted passage reads: “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases.” The Court grants the government’s application for a stay at this preliminary stage, reasoning that the government is likely to succeed on the merits and that the policy does not violate equal protection principles.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Inspiring story from this L.A. Taco report of ICE activity last week. 30 people came out to supoort a family in Long Beach. lataco.com/daily-memo-a...
Yesterday, Wednesday October 22nd, Long Beach, signal hill:
Ross from 8:15pm to approximately 10:00pm. Rapid responders were alerted that a family, a mother and son, were followed inside a Ross by two sketchy individuals they believed were ICE agents. They were not masked or had any badges or vests. As community members arrived, at least two more plainclothed agents appeared, one wearing sunglasses at night. About 30 community members came out to protect the family and pressure the men who refused to identify themselves to leave. They would circle the parking lot, recording them before they eventually did leave, and the family was escorted back home.

BREAKING: Over a sharp dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan & Jackson, the Supreme Court will not stop Alabama from killing Anthony Boyd tonight. Sotomayor tells the reader to count to four minutes on their phone. "Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating."
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and

JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from the denial of appli-
cation for stay and denial of certiorari.

Take out your phone, go to the clock app, and find the
stopwatch. Click start. Now watch the seconds as they

climb. Three seconds come and go in a blink. At the thirty-
second mark, your mind starts to wander. One minute

passes, and you begin to think that this is taking a long
time. Two . . . three . . . . The clock ticks on. Then, finally,
you make it to four minutes. Hit stop.
Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating.
