I just hope this reboot of “Let them eat cake” has the same ending. I hate when reboots stray from the source material.

The stakes are just too high.

I don’t know that I have anything of value to post here. Most of the stuff I follow is political. My brain is mostly able to retain bird facts and fart jokes. Happy to provide either if that is of interest.

I have friends who are genuinely confused when I point out to them that being politically engaged is a luxury item lots of folks don't invest time or money into. They don't think deeply about politics until and unless it directly affects them. It's an alien thought (and I get it!), but it's true.

Ya know what? Fuck it. These books promise a future for queer people, for BIPOC, for women, for disabled people, and doesn’t just include them but makes them lead heroes & I put all my heart and hope into them.

A good reminder

Definitely

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
