Immediately before the Gaza ceasefire was announced, Jared Kushner doubled his stake in an Israeli financial firm that stands to gain from expanding Israeli settlements. Immediately after it was announced, Trump said he would reverse sanctions on Israeli settlers. www.levernews.com/as-ceasefire...

I have asthma, and struggle with Pittsburgh's polluted air. It takes time and trained staff to review and issue permits (and fines) for polluting industries. Allegheny County needs to raise permit fees be able to do this better. Email county council before their vote 1/28! 1/2

Do they make mask extenders or whatever you call those things that keep the loops off your ears that aren't ugly plastic? My migraines make my scalp so sensitive that sometimes it's uncomfortable even to wear my glasses. I've been using hair clips but they keep breaking.

I heard some people act as though it was overly dramatic to do hurriedly download all of the government data that we might need before the new administration takes over. Not so dramatic after all...

I read this quote a decade ago in the book, “The News: a Users Manual” and it stuck with me enough that I went back to find it. In short, it posits that a would-be dictator could suppress the news or flood the zone with a tsunami of nonsense. By either strategy, it kills people’s resolve to act.

Fun fact: there are more than twice as many cis white women in the United States than Black people, Indigenous people, trans people, Muslims, Arab Americans, and Jews COMBINED. And a majority of cis white women voted for Trump.

In my last newsletter I put together a collection of information and resources for immigrants, refugees, and undocumented people, including Know Your Rights cards you can keep in your wallet and orgs that will help you access low-cost legal aid. No reason. mutualade.beehiiv.com/p/if-you-see...

I need everyone to know that "sanctuary city" doesn't mean anything in a situation like this. Sanctuary city policies are internal policies that basically say their own agencies won't comply with outside orders. www.threads.net/@barbaraj.so...

My next newsletter (mutualaid.beehiiv.com) is going to feature aid funds and resources exclusively for trans folks, as well as trans-owned shops, goods, and services. Wanna contribute? Wanna be featured? Just have some advice that might help? Drop it below.

Apologies, Blueskees, but the suppression over on the @ app has really cranked up this week, so I'm going to momentarily flood your feeds with some mutual aid/trans/immigration posts just to make sure the information gets where it needs to go. But don't worry, there's a fun one at the end.

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

Yes, this is a great idea, and again you don't have to be eloquent or even leave a lengthy message, just name what you're calling about and what you want your rep or senator to do. If a bill would have a specific personal impact on you, like taking away your healthcare, say that too.

On Friday I went to the clinic to refill my meds and they told me for my safety I was no longer officially diagnosed with gender dysphoria but an endocrine disorder. So no, I didn't watch the inauguration.

I've been using Resistbot to send emails and faxes since it launched, but they sent a message today that they are running low on operating funds. That may be an inauguration guilt pitch, but usage has definitely increased since this congressional session began.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.
