Prep. Your. Emergency kit. Now.

Dear White Women, Are you ready to FULL-ON Karen ICE agents in your community? DEMAND to see the manager? DEMAND to see the warrant? Ask them if they know WHO they’re talking to? FILM it all? No. Really. Are you ready to do this? Our job is to spend our privilege - EVERYWHERE it is useful.

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.

Man I wish Wesley Willis was still around to write a song about the Chicago Pope

this is so fucking disappointing

life's about to get even more dangerous for those of us who are immunosuppressed (and for everyone else too)

"The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants."

political cartoon circa 1908

If we could trust other people to routinely mask when they are sick - if we could hard-code this behavior in society - those of us who are immunocompromised or suffer from chronic illness could take our masks off. But everywhere I go I find folks coughing loudly, phlegmily, uncovered. so I mask.

These guys think they're spewing cutting-edge posthumanist theory and it's all just the corniest, shittiest science fiction that actual writers wouldn't waste a minute on.

don't mess with god's america, y'all

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

<whiny little kid voice> but i don't WANT to live in the times that try men's souls

be the Lorax you want to see in the world

but on the other hand, there were some... pink... jackets...? <cries>

try to live your life so you don't need a toddler as a human shield

The case for simply removing gender markers from IDs altogether grows ever stronger (there's no way a conservative admin will do it but states could!).

We are in a dangerous time but here are two important facts: 1. Trump's base of support is a minority. 2. That base is going to shrink as his agenda is enacted. The opposition is the majority. No moping allowed. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

You: They did the math. Me: ᵀʰᵉʸ ᵈⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿˢᵗᵉʳ ᵐᵃᵗʰ You: What was that? Me: Nothing. Me three hours later in a whisper: ᴵᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵃ ᵍʳᵃᵛᵉʸᵃʳᵈ ᵍʳᵃᵖʰ

so ironic that what we call white supremacy and male supremacy are the defense mechanisms of white fragility and male fragility. afraid they can't compete, ashamed if they fail, desperately needing to be perceived as special boys. dismantling the entire US government instead of going to therapy

Texas Rep. Introduces The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act preventing 69 million married women from being able to register to vote. It requires a birth certificate that matches their current name, which is a problem for women who changed their legal name when they got married

god yes. and same goes for "congresscritters." ugh.

We have enough validity right now, but what cis folks CAN actually do: - Contribute to GFMs for trans care and travel (we are a very impoverished demographic!) - Help a trans person get a job - Help a trans person move - Vocally oppose anti-trans legislation (yell at reps, not random bigots online!

Everything matters Every call, every court order, every dollar of mutual aid, every sign, every protest chant Every minute we extend every bomb not dropped It all matters because we matter and what we do to and for each other matters

please please please please please #1 do something today to keep us on that path, whatever that might be for you.
