Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. https://t.co/kyZUqIcM5b
According to recorded figures, Israel has slaughtered every single member of 2,700 families, with over 6,000 families left with just a single sole survivor.
And of course the actual death toll is far higher.
Today Israel bombed a school turned shelter in Gaza as a wedding was being held.
An IOF tank fired on the building with 6 people murdered and dozens injured.
Israeli forces then prevented ambulance and civil defence crews from reaching the injured, children amongst them.
There is no ceasefire.
There is no peace.
Just brutal colonial oppression.
FREE PALESTINE
TAKE ACTION
Stuff of nightmares unfolding in Gaza — Israel’s refusal to meet the terms of the ceasefire and allow in sufficient supplies is crashing headlong into this flooding and brutal weather to produce a catastrophic situation
More than 32,000 Palestinians have been displaced by an ongoing Israeli attack on northern refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, according to UNRWA.

🚨 27,000 KILLED IN SUDAN’S DARFUR IN 3 DAYS
Darfur governor Minni Arkou Minnawi says 27,000 people were killed in just three days after the RSF captured El-Fasher late last month — a massive jump from earlier estimates of about 2,500 deaths.
In March 2025, Senator Chris Van Hollen introduced the Stand Up for Sudan Act to halt U.S. weapons transfers to the UAE “until the UAE is no longer providing materiel support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)” in Sudan.
On Thursday, Van Hollen tried to advance the bill on the Senate floor, but Republicans objected, blocking his effort to call it up.
We’ll take a closer look this weekend at Trump and his associates’ close ties to the UAE— which the U.S. classifies as a “Major Defense Partner” and is a buyer of high-end American weapons. Stay tuned.
Putting my pride aside because it’s so hard to ask for help I have 4 kids and my mom and myself.
Without food benefits we are definitely going to be in starvation mode.
Not barely getting by as it is.
Appreciating all help and retweets.
🔴 A well-known Gaza content creator who’s documented daily life under siege said her building was struck last night — the first time she’s been caught in a direct hit. She’s one of several local journalists and content creators trying to stay on air and alive as Israeli bombardment again reaches residential areas.

Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and a genocide. Tens of thousands dead. 12 million displaced.
The images of the RSF seizing El Fasher are horrific.
The UAE and other arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.
A quarter of the #Sudan population has been displaced and nearly two thirds of the country does not have access to healthcare. Almost 18 million people are at risk of starving to death 💔
When someone says: "I don't know how to help"?
But all I'm asking is for people share and leave a dot.

If I am killed in the West Bank, please know that I blame you personally @GovMikeHuckabee. I was set up by the IDF to be attacked by 100 armed settlers. When I sent the embassy the video and asked for protection for me and everyone else in Turmus’ayya, they literally said no.
The genocidal apartheid regime is once again raining down bombs across Gaza and calling it a “ceasefire.” They will never stop until there’s a total arms embargo and economic sanctions. The U.S. must stop the genocide.
🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 124 killed (117 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 33 injured arriving at hospitals.
This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 67,806 and 170,066 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)
