This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Some of the things the libraries I work with are doing to meet this moment: - Bilingual name/ID change clinics in partnership with a trans-led org - Seed library: patrons can take home seeds/learn to garden at library programs - Supporting the local mutual aid group with space and resources

As I just shared this in a comment, I will also share it here. We made a free workbook associated with Let This Radicalize You. We included a bibliography of organizing resources pp. 100-109 - books, podcasts, curricula, articles, etc... www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

It’s my favorite abortion movie. (Also one of my favorite movies of all time besides The Princess Bride. Don’t @me.)

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

Today reminded me again that meeting facilitation is an important skill to learn and the best way to learn is to practice by doing. Terrible meeting facilitation is a sure way to lose people. A well-facilitated meeting is worth its weight in gold.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Heads up to everyone defending collaboration/capitulation because the collaborators are “in a tough spot,” this is a formal invitation to gargle my balls

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

I guess all that brand building Bob did as the “I sue Trump every day” AG was just a long con to become governor so that he could block the wealth tax, cut the AG’s budget, and do full austerity except for massive spending on cops? Let’s call every day and ask.

On Monday I called our school district’s superintendent & asked for the plan to protect trans & immigrant kids/families. They had been silent since pre-election. By Wed, the office called me back and said to look for a message, and sure enough they emailed families a good message that afternoon.

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban. Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.
