Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️
This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
Music friends: The couple that own Uline (popular seller of record mailers) are terrible people. Don't use them.
This should scare the shit out of everyone. the less things you have connected to the internet at home, the better.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
That was bananas.
An alert from the Berwyn / Cicero rapid response team alerting community members to up to 60 federal immigration agents arriving in the Chicago area on 1/6/2025, around 3 pm. Full report here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTLy_W1AMOE/?i
New: the Berwyn/Cicero Rapid Response team is reporting that several dozen federal agents arrived in the Chicago area today, warning community members of a possible uptick in ICE/CBP activity in the coming days.
Thinking this is wrong is not radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.
A USPS mailbox in New York City
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
Tanks and Miliția on the Magheru Boulevard in Bucharest during the 1989 Revolution
36 years ago, on the 22nd of December 1989, Nicolae Ceaușescu was ousted from power in Romania. The dictator and his wife attempted to flee by helicopter but were intercepted. He was tried and convicted of economic sabotage and genocide and executed on December 25th. #otd #history 🗃️
Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.
Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

*green text on white background* The Loved Ones by: Wendell Berry The loved ones we call the dead depart from us and for a while are absent. And then as if called back by our love, they come near us again. They enter our dreams. We feel they have been near us when we have not thought of them. They are simply here, simply waiting while we are distracted among our obligations. At last it comes to us: They live now in the permanent world. We are the absent ones.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
Hoping the hawks can pull it off tonight!
