I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Reminder to at the VERY least, download/back up all your Kindle books by queer, trans, POC, and disabled indie writers. We are the MOST likely to have our books Disappeared, and the least likely to have any recourse.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

“Refusing vaccines is withdrawing from the community health bank without depositing anything back into it”. I had the opportunity to speak about the harm caused by vaccine refusal to kids and adults who are immunosuppressed. The parents who are interviewed here bring that message home.

Offloading responsibility for the climate crisis onto individuals as consumers does fuck all to move the needle, and shifts the blame away from actual polluters - corporations, shipping, governments - while allowing them to continue to boil us all alive.

Being a trans ally means action. Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Speak up. But also: Amplify trans voices. Pay trans people. Donate to trans orgs. Create jobs and safe spaces for trans people. Stop thinking words are enough.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

i would love to spell out “climate programs” as what they are: -helping local communities stay safe from floods and fires -grants for farmers and small businesses -programs to maintain our electrical grids, drinking water, roads, and bridges -funding for public transportation in urban & rural areas
