I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

The news keeps saying "accept" and "house" deportees and that's an unconscionable to deceptive way to say: El Salvador wants the US to pay them & ship them criminalized American citizens & non-citizens alike to work and die as slaves in El Salvadoran prisons, which Trump & Rubio want to make happen

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Do not despair about the Supreme Court. I know it feels daunting but you are not as powerless as you think. Check out some concrete steps you can take (and learn a little bit of history) in the guide I just cranked out, "What You Can Do About A Garbage Supreme Court."

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

shy intro - white cis woman, disappointed and disillusioned by the D party and here for the creation of a new way. My values reside here: ACAB, Free Palestine, abolition in all the ways, and there is a difference between discomfort and danger (white ppl! try harder, feel your feelings). Love leads.
