Reed Erickson, a trans millionaire, quietly became the money behind one of America's earliest gay rights groups and the research that built trans medicine. Erickson, born on this day in 1917, grew an inherited lead-smelting business into a fortune, transitioned in the 1960s as a patient of Dr. Harry Benjamin. By historian Aaron Devor's count, he supplied 70 to 80% of the budget of the fund behind the education and research work of ONE, the gay group that published ONE magazine. His foundation funded Benjamin's research and the Johns Hopkins gender identity clinic. Outside the movement, almost nobody knew his name. He kept a pet leopard named Henry and spent his last years in a bitter legal war with ONE before dying in Mexico in 1992, a fugitive. As trans historian Morgan M Page put it: "We today would not have trans health care, period, without the funding and the information provided by the Erickson Educational Foundation.
oh ffs its a full time job keeping up with all of trumps shit now ---------BREAKING🚨 Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the ICE agent who opened fire on a Bronx dad with his 5-year-old in the back seat, looked like a MASS SHOOTER. He was wearing a construction vest and carrying a long gun in broad daylight. On Thursday afternoon in Marble Hill, plainclothes ICE agents surrounded the car of Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican immigrant, and at least one of them fired seven rounds. Belgal's 5-year-old son was sitting in the back seat. A bullet hit Belgal in the neck, just below his left ear. Video from the scene shows an agent in a bright yellow vest, long gun across his chest, standing next to Belgal as he lies wounded and handcuffed. "It feels as if you're almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who's purportedly representing a federal agency," New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Sunday. Mamdani says Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin asked him to have the NYPD detain Belgal. He pushed back and asked them what warrant they had. New York City has no warrant for Belgal, he said. Belgal's lawyers say ICE didn't have a valid warrant either. ICE claims Belgal "weaponized his vehicle" and drove at agents. His lawyers dispute that. Mullin admitted the agents didn't know a child was in the car. Then he called Belgal "a selfish individual." After the shooting, ICE pulled Belgal out of the hospital and took him to an undisclosed location in New Jersey. His lawyers couldn't find him for nearly a full day. ICE says it wants him deported as soon as possible. A federal judge has ordered that he stay in the country for now. Four days later, his lawyers say, he's in solitary confinement at a federal jail in Brooklyn with the bullet still in his neck. His doctors say he urgently needs surgery to remove it. The left side of his face is numb, he can barely hear out of his left ear, and he's been forced to drink from the bathroom sink. "The first thing he asked me is whether his son is OK," said his attorney, Harold Solis. Gov. Kathy Hochul says the boy, normally outgoing and talkative, hasn't been acting like himself since. Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark is investigating the shooting. Mamdani says the city will review the full 24 hours that began with it, ICE's conduct included, and that he'll keep pushing to get Belgal released.

🐱 Amsterdam’s famous Catboat has spent decades giving abandoned and stray cats a safe place to recover. The floating shelter began in the 1960s and still rescues hundreds of cats, providing veterinary care, food, shelter, and adoption opportunities. What started with one rescued cat eventually became one of the city’s most unusual animal shelters.
BREAKING: OMG. Trump is TORTURING the Air Force officer who called for his impeachment by ILLEGALLY holding him in solitary confinement for 24 hours a day! This is an OUTRAGE! Maj. Jason Watson made headlines around the nation when he stood on the steps of the Capitol building wearing a sign that said "Impeach. Convict. Remove," after speaking to the press about how Trump needs to be impeached over his illegal war against Iran. He was arrested on the steps and taken into pretrial confinement on August 18, where he has remained since then. "Even if he gets an hour to eat or to exercise, he's alone," say Watson’s lawyer, Christopher Mutimer said. "He's looking at having his liberty potentially taken away. ... He is looking at being removed from the military, losing his benefits and potentially spending significant time in jail." His lawyer says that Watson has been in solitary confinement for 24 hours a day. The United Nations’ Mandela Rules, passed in 2015, consider prolonged solitary confinement to be torture. "The severe and often irreparable psychological and physical consequences of solitary confinement and social exclusion are well documented and can range from progressively severe forms of anxiety, stress, and depression to cognitive impairment and suicidal tendencies. "This deliberate infliction of severe mental pain or suffering may well amount to psychological torture," says Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on torture. The United States’ own military laws state that solitary confinement cannot be used as a form of punishment – which it CLEARLY is being used as here. According to Military Times, “Article 13 of the UCMJ prohibits punishing a service member who is awaiting trial and says confinement may not be ‘any more rigorous than the circumstances require.’” It is beyond obvious that Watson is being subjected to these conditions in retribution for daring to speak out against the Commander-in-Chief. He must be released immediately while the legal process plays out. All he did was PROTEST. But that’s what you get in Trump’s army for speaking out – thrown in the hole for weeks.

2026 feels like everyone is struggling, and we're finally starting to admit it. Everyone is either unemployed, broke, desperately trying to make ends meet, or hustling so hard to convince the world that they're doing well. Finding a decent job feels impossible, everything costs more than it should, and somehow, we're still expected to have our lives figured out. There's this strange pressure to turn every hobby into a business, every skill into a side hustle, and every free moment into an opportunity to make money. Even resting feels like falling behind. Everyone is trying to survive, but we're constantly being told we should be thriving. And honestly, the economy feels less like something happening in the background and more like something that's slowly taking over our everyday lives. The things previous generations considered normal milestones now feel like expensive dreams. Financial stability, a decent home, a peaceful life, and enough money to enjoy yourself shouldn't feel like impossible luxuries. Maybe that's why 2026 feels so strange. It's not that people suddenly stopped trying. People are trying harder than ever, but the rewards don't always match the effort anymore. For the first time, it feels like the reality of all this is really sinking in. We're not all lazy, unmotivated, or bad at life. A lot of us are simply exhausted from trying to build a future in a world that keeps making it harder to do so. And honestly, we're allowed to admit that things are difficult without pretending everything is fine. #quotes #lovequotes #lifelessons #RelatableThoughts #LifeLately #fyp
happens 10x per day in vancouver lol people only care cause he is a supermodel and well educated /well dressed etc and preppy (AND FUCKABLE) lmao they just want him to live with them and do things to them when he gets out of the psych ward nobody would care if he was a huge disgusting slob-Nicholas Wacher was detained by police after a fake doctor certified him. Dr. Chirsitne Taylor and her associate ambushed him at a meet and greet in a coffee shop. Nicholas didn't spend two seconds with them before he stormed out. Interestingly, Dr. Christine has no online presence, and her profiles have all been wiped. For months, Nicholas had been going to different members of parliament, warning them that the government has been passing authoritarian clauses into law, clauses that could destroy the country’s sovereignty. He claims China and the Canadian government are trying to turn Vancouver into a Chinese-style police state. He even wrote a piece on it, called “China Vancouver Attempt.” Soon after, he was detained. But he is far from crazy. In Canada, a doctor can have you locked in a psychiatric ward against your will. You may have done nothing wrong, but under British Columbia’s Mental Health Act, a physician only has to believe that without care you might “deteriorate,” or that detention is for your “own protection.” And that’s enough. One doctor signs a form, and you’re held for 48 hours. A second doctor signs another, and you’re held for a month. And it can go on and on. So ask yourself the obvious question. If the standard isn’t “dangerous,” but merely “might deteriorate” or “for your own good”… who decides that? One opinion. One signature. So now, does criticizing the government, or speaking your mind against it, count as your mind “deteriorating”? And if it does, how far can this go?

For the past two years, I have kept a Box in my front yard stocked full with Narcan for anyone in the neighborhood passing by. Although many kits have been taken, I have never heard from anyone… Until now. I just received a “Thank You” note from someone who had previously taken a Narcan kit and ultimately used it on September 30, 2026 to reverse an overdose on an individual and it saved their life!!! 💜💜💜 This is the reason I continue spreading the awareness and providing support to my communit

Yep food has become a drug or a luxury now -So many people have lost their appetites to eat all around the world. They are not eating as much because they cannot even think of what they want to eat. Food is like becoming a major turn off. I’m going to repeat this. It’s worldwide appetite suppression. So if you aren’t hungry, even though you should be and you want to eat, but nothing sounds good, then there you have it.
BREAKING🚨 ICE deported a New Haven mom of two U.S.-citizen kids. Now when her 9-year-old autistic son breaks down at school, they have to call her in Mexico. Her voice on the phone is the only thing that calms him. Nancy Martinez was pulling away from the curb on June 9, 2025, driving her 13-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son to school, when three ICE vehicles boxed in her car. Agents yelled at her in English, which she doesn't speak, and handcuffed her while her son cried on the sidewalk. Her lawsuit says nobody ever showed her a warrant. She was due in court that same morning. The case came from an argument with her sister-in-law over babysitting. The state had agreed to drop the charges if she took anger management classes, and she had already started them. Homeland Security says she had a criminal history and that officers made sure her mother, who was visiting from Mexico, could watch the kids. Her lawsuit says the agents never spoke to the grandmother. It says they drove off and left both children "standing in the street without a known legal guardian." ICE also says it "does not separate families" and asks parents whether they want their kids sent with them. Martinez says nobody ever asked her. Her husband had filed for a U visa, which is for crime victims, and her name was on the petition. ICE still refused to put her deportation on hold. About a month after the arrest she was shackled, flown to Brownsville, Texas, and deported across the border at Matamoros. Now she sells clothes from a small tent outside Mexico City, as Laura Tillman first reported in CT Mirror. She calls her kids every day before school, after school and at bedtime. Her son has autism. He has walked up to a security guard at his school and demanded to know why they took his mother. According to the lawsuit, he no longer sleeps in his own room because he's afraid someone will take his sister too. His sister is 14 now. In the summer she sells flan and chocolate-covered strawberries to help support the family. She turns 15 in January, and her mother is planning her quinceañera from 2,000 miles away. In June, Martinez sued the federal government with help from Yale Law School's immigrant rights clinic. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said, "Nancy Martinez did everything right. ICE did everything wrong." Even if she wins, the lawsuit can't bring her home to her children.
BREAKING: Trump’s slut the new gross press secretary’s first week IMPLODES as Katie Zacharia is exposed for LYING about being a "lawyer." Ivanka Trump clone Katie Zacharia has been White House press secretary for about five minutes, and she’s already in trouble over whether or not she’s actually a lawyer, as she has claimed in her bio. After her first briefing Tuesday, reporters asked Zacharia to say where she passed the bar. She didn’t name a state. According to the Daily Beast, she said she passed it “when I moved to China.” That’s a strange answer for someone who has called herself an attorney for years on LinkedIn, and whom Fox News and other channels have introduced as one. But the Daily Beast reports she does not appear to be licensed to practice law in any U.S. state. Independent outlet Popular Information found no evidence she has ever passed a bar exam or been admitted to the bar anywhere. The Daily Beast says it confirmed she hasn’t passed the bar in California, the state where she claims to practice. She also isn’t listed with the State Bar of Texas or the D.C. Bar, two other places her resume says she worked as an attorney. What has been confirmed is that she DID graduate from Pepperdine’s law school. Her work in China, the Daily Beast notes, doesn’t establish that she passed a U.S. bar or was admitted anywhere. Asked about it, the White House didn’t deny she never passed the bar. It sent a canned statement from communications director Steven Cheung calling her a “fabulous and wonderful addition to the team.” Her online bio has also been shifting. Per archives of her X account, she added “Lawyer” and “General Counsel” in September 2025, dropped the legal title in November, and put it back in April 2026. She has also reportedly posted that Democrats are all pedophiles, shown support for Pizzagate and QAnon, and said the 2020 election was stolen. In 2022, she reportedly reposted a message reading, “Democrats want to mask and rape your children. That’s their satanic platform.” Last year she called for the U.S. to “suspend habeas corpus.” Her debut at the podium didn’t go smoothly either. She took only three questions, all from conservative outlets: Breitbart, Fox, and the Daily Mail. At one point she stumbled, saying “my president, err excuse me, my husband,” then laughed awkwardly. One White House official told MS NOW she “needs to get much better, fast. Otherwise, she’ll break Scaramucci’s record,” referring to the Press Secretary in Trump’s first term who famously lasted only 10 days in the job. Considering that the Press Secretary’s role should be to tell the American people the truth, Zacharia’s first week is already raising questions about how truthful she’s been about her own résumé. However, since Trump apparently sees her job as propagating and reinforcing his own lies, her legal resumé seems to matter little.-BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu DEMANDS answers from Trump’s new Press Secretary concerning her LIES about being a "lawyer." The controversy over the legal credentials of Katie Zacharia, Donald Trump’s latest press secretary, continues to roil the Trump administration. There is no question that Zacharia has received a valid law degree from Pepperdine University, but whether she’s actually ever passed a bar exam remains to be proven. The question became even more perplexing when Trump himself was asked by reporters outside the White House where his new mouthpiece passed the bar exam. Trump deferred the question to Zacharia herself, who replied: “When I moved to China.” Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA) smelled something particularly fishy with that answer and posted his concerns to social media: “One cannot take an American state bar exam in China, Lieu wrote. “Bar exams are administered at designated testing locations in each state of the union. Are Katie Zacharia and Trump lying when they say she is an attorney? If not, then she needs to disclose in what state she passed the bar.” The problem with that is the fact that journalists have already searched the databases of bar-admitted attorneys in all 50 states and Washington D.C. and have found neither hide nor hair of any admissions record. Rep. Lieu later posted a dictionary definition explaining the distinction between a lawyer and an attorney, which stated that a lawyer is anyone who has earned a law degree, while an actual attorney has both graduated from law school AND passed a state bar exam in order to receive their license to practice law. While some people with law degrees decide to skip joining the bar to go into business or politics, they usually don’t try to pass themselves off as attorneys. The American people deserve a straight answer from Zacharia about her status in the legal profession. Either way, a law degree isn’t a necessary qualification when your job is to simply disseminate Trump’s lies. It could come in handy, however, if the members of the Trump administration are prosecuted once they’re out of office.
BREAKING🚨🏳️🌈 Pete Hegseth just got DARED by a transgender Army Master Sergeant to say his anti-trans slurs to her face. She hits 20 years of service this month, and if the Army throws her out, she may lose her pension. Army Master Sgt. Amiah Sale, stationed in South Korea, was asked on national TV about Defense Secretary Hegseth calling trans troops "dudes in dresses." She said she didn't think he'd say it to their faces. "If so, I'm in South Korea," she added. "I hope to see you soon." Hegseth used to be a major in the Army National Guard. At the Iowa State Fair this year, he told the crowd the "Department of War" does "training" and rhymed it with an anti-trans slur. In the same speech he called his department "merit-based." Sale enlisted at 20. She has served as a radio operator, a recruiter and a company first sergeant. Court filings list two Meritorious Service Medals, seven Army Commendation Medals and six Army Achievement Medals. She belongs to the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club, which honors distinguished NCOs. "I received nothing but love and support from my units," she said. On March 24, the Army put her in front of a separation board. Three senior officers met behind closed doors while she watched on a grainy video feed from down the hall, as Peter Alexander first reported in MS NOW. She had brought 25 character references. They came back in about 20 minutes and recommended separating her. "Twenty years of stellar service, and you're going to come back in 20 minutes without even looking me in the face," she said. Her lawyer, Michael Haley of GLAD Law, pointed out that service members accused of crimes get to attend their own boards. Sale didn't. In June, a federal appeals court kept protections in place for the troops still serving who are suing over the ban, including Sale. The court found the policy appeared driven by "the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group." Trump's Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to overturn that ruling before the case goes to trial in January. This month Sale reaches 20 years of service, the usual point when soldiers become eligible to retire. She doesn't know whether the Army will retire her or separate her. "If they choose to administratively separate me, though, I don't believe that I'm eligible for my pension," she said.
