Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.

In this time of terror remember that you Do NOT have to open your door unless ICE shows you a judicial search or arrest warrant naming a person in your residence. If they don’t produce a warrant, keep the door closed. State: “I do not consent to your entry.” #wekeepussave

The misogynist logic of Trump’s citizenship politics are clear here. When people miss to see the connection between policing gender among trans folks, policing abortion rights, and migrants’ rights, they fail to understand the full picture of the current moment.

"Canada is the 10th largest economy in the world, and we need to act like it. There are few legal or constitutional limitations on the actions the federal government can take in an emergency like this." I'd add: ✅Institutionalize Team Canada ✅Create a royal commission ✅Forge a new industrial policy

Trump is currently attending a National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral presided by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. I interviewed Bishop Budde, she told me, "Trump seeks to dismantle everything I stand for.” Then I learned of the unlikely Trump resistance within the cathedral.

This is a beautiful and searching essay by @itaqt.bsky.social. It asks: as we fight "them" how do we more honestly look at "us" - including our failings? This "can be humbling. Yet it might also allow us to not only say we are on the right side of history, but to collectively shape our future."

Global warming is a technological advancement. Global warming is happening because technology does not naturally equal progress, ethics, or ecological balance. Stop saying they ignore the science. They are using the science. Global warming is part of what you get from science under capitalism.
