It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
A U.S. citizen just testified before the Senate that ICE agents ignored his passport, detained him, placed him on suicide watch, and released him WITHOUT charges or explanation.
Read that again.
An AMERICAN CITIZEN says he showed agents his passport multiple times…
and still ended up locked in a cell under 24/7 lights, stripped naked, wearing a hospital gown while guards watched him constantly.
His family reportedly had no idea where he was.
Then after all of that?
No charges.
No explanation.
Just released.
Black people don’t hang themselves from trees on church grounds after mysteriously vanishing from their home in a state that has a deeply documented history with the Ku Klux Klan. Juliana Nzita was lynched.
If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder.
They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.
Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.
How Israel 🇮🇱 treats the kidnapped peace activists:
• 180 on a ‘prison boat’
• 40 with broken ribs
• 12 sexually assaulted
• Tasers in the face
“We were tortured”
A humanitarian mission to break an illegal siege of Gaza 🇵🇸
Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
🚨🇮🇹🇮🇱An Italian journalist and Flotilla member:
"As soon as you entered the entry
container they beat you up; they kicked me on the legs and punched me in the face, broke some people’s arms and ribs, while assaulting detainees and saying “Welcome to Israel.”"
Imagine a legal system so fucked up that the president can be both plaintiff and defendant and award himself whatever he wants.
That sounds kind of like a king, doesn't it?
Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.
These are sick, corrupt people.
