Just so I have this straight...a month ago, the FAA opened an investigation into SpaceX because a starship exploded in the sky and sent debris raining down. FAA air traffic control diverted dozens of planes away. And now SpaceX is going to overhaul that air traffic control system?

Fun fact. The Holocaust denier Ron Unz that this punk was inspired by is responsible for Arizona's racist education policy that prohibits teaching Spanish-speaking kids in Spanish. He pushed and funded ballot measures in 3 states to implement the policy. AZ is the only state that hasn't repealed it.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Apparently if random nerds walk into the US Gov't buildings and just start taking sensitive documents and act like they're in charge members of Congress will just helplessly look around and say that someone should do something about it.

No one has to wait for anyone to take action. If you have ideas, execute them. Don't act like an East German Figure Skating judge or a red pen Karen. EXECUTE YOUR IDEAS. That's the bottom line. Let 10 million flowers bloom. No one is gatekeeping you.

Last night I learned about the Fire Poppy Project–a mutual aid project in LA. This fund supports renters who are Black, Indigenous, of color, and/or low-income whose homes were either burned down or contaminated by toxic smoke and ash in the Eaton Fire. They have a training tomorrow as well. 📣

If you work for ICE, or for an agency that collaborates with ICE, to terrorize and detain people, you should quit. One day you'll have to explain to a future generation how you were "just following orders," and it will sound as bad then as it does now. Just find something else to do with your life.

Voting to let people be terrorized and detained because you’re worried about being reelected is fucking shameful.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

At "conception," I believe every human embryo is "female," and Y chromosomes, if present, don't begin to affect development until like 6 or 7 weeks? Right? I believe this EO means this administration recognizes all humans as "female."

A good friend of mine runs an abortion fund & during a conversation this weekend, she broke down. The past few years [especially the last 2] have been BRUTAL for funds. The need and demand has skyrocketed and the funding has not. Workers & volunteers at funds have to turn many people away.

Do people know of useful guidance/resources on what activists and support orgs can do, as individuals or as organizations, to prepare for the incoming administration to avoid legal jeopardy/state violence? What needs to be gotten in order? What precautions should folks be taking, etc?

The CDC released its '22 Abortion Report. As suspected, we saw a 20% increase in abortions at or after 21 wks. And this data omits many places where later care is available (CA, DC, IL, MD). Points to post-Roe bans delaying people from accessing abortion care earlier. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

If I could make every single person in the Repro field read this, I would. Garnet is really on another level and here she so generously pieces together the foundational flaws of American abortion strategy. Btw I LIVED this journey of understanding. If we do not evolve and quickly, we are doomed.

What it takes to cobble together a majoritarian coalition on ANY ISSUE are many different things. Humility is always useful. To say, one isn't sure what will work is actually the most honest posture.

I would honestly be in alarm-raising mode about what we're going to be up against, but I think more immediately, people need to get right with where they're at psychologically. Bc if we don't do that, people aren't going to be ready for what the coming months/years will demand of us. From last week:
