In case you don’t know yet, four of our greatest congressional fighters are in El Salvador right now. I knew this was coming. I didn’t know it was coming without us knowing before it happened. I don’t see a lot of people talking about this yet, so I hope this post changes that 🧵

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It's not just Stonewall, it's all over NPS.gov - They're erasing Trans people from history. Those photos of Nazis burning books in 1933? Those were books on gender and sexuality. This is a 21st century book burning in the public square. It's Memoricide - a speedbump on the road to Genocide.

I want to highlight this again and, since it may seem kind of trivial to folks who haven’t been in or around the military community (esp. overseas), emphasize that it absolutely is not. The culture of the Chain Of Command runs very deep, and publicly disrespecting SecDef is a very big deal.

Lemkin Institute is no joke for them to say this is very important. “Trans people, refugees, and migrants are not the threats. The billionaires with close ties to our new president who flash the Nazi salute and seek to replace the old elites with a new caste – that is the real threat to America.”
