If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

It's February during the worst flu season in 15 years. I'm sorry: I can't come to your indoor community-building food-eating event. I take "we protect each other" seriously. I also really appreciate that the AMA is stepping up with info in the FA Trump void. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

This is essay is full of power and hope. Not the kind of hope that's a feathery thing. The kind of hope that fights. The kind of hope we need now.

This is as important a thread as I have ever seen.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

I suppose someone might have had a major speaker at a conservative political convention making a Nazi salute and following it with "Amen" - and the crowd going wild! - but it was not on my bingo card. youtu.be/bBOJAAujwb8?...

☎️ Massachusetts folks! There are state bills in your House & Senate to *protect* medical mask wearing by prohibiting municipal mask bans. Please call your *state* senator & rep to support & co-sponsor HD2968 (house) & SD 245 (senate) bills on the right to wear PPE. (Docket #s may change.)

When my kids were very small, I read James Dobson's parenting books, and decided that, no matter how many people I knew who advocated them as the right way to raise your kids, they were very, very wrong. Even so, I was not aware of the connections to eugenics.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

In a different timeline, this could be really funny. Unfortunately, we're not in that timeline.

St. Alban was a virtuous pagan in Roman Britain in the 3rd or 4th century. When a poor man sought shelter with him, Alban realized the man was a Christian priest, which was illegal, but that didn’t matter. He needed shelter, so Alban sheltered him. (1/8)

Well, bless his heart. He can't help it that his mama didn't teach him any better.

Read the article, or read the summary. Or read the summary first, then read the article.

Next weekend, Yale's Gilder Lehrman Center will be having their annual conference, on "Universities and the Histories of Race, Science, and Medicine." I'll be on the "Anti-Racism and Race Science in the 20th Century" panel. The conference is open to the public, in person or remotely. Register here:

Every single request or demand from the fascist regime for ANY information whatsoever from hospitals, census data, libraries, schools, ANYTHING, should be met with a loud Fuck You and nothing else.

Don't co-operate. If you can't say no, make a mess of things. Lose papers. Misspell names. Transpose numbers in dates and addresses. Make typos in important fields - like NH for NM, that sort of thing. It might not feel safe. But cooperating won't buy you safety anyway. So don't do it.

You've got to wonder how many wheelchairs they break to make lawyers and lawsuits cheaper than just not breaking so many wheelchairs.

What would you do if immigration agents came into your church? What if your church was sheltering refugees? That's the situation in this little book - it's sold as a children's book, but like all the best children's books, adults need to read it, too. parkendbooks.com/shop/with-tw...

The governor of Indiana is defunding the state's participation in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. I'm not sure that coming after Dolly is a winning move.
