The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Was recently with a dear friend who is a longtime organizer in Inland Empire. She talked about how Harris’ campaign was so inept people who voted in 4 out of 5 elections for DNC stayed home. The result was also a wipeout at the local level which has had real consequences for the poor. Infuriating.

As a cis woman I will never understand how self-defeating and dumb you have to be to see trans people, and not patriarchy, as the enemy. You dumb fucking bigots just gave the patriarchal state even more power by inviting it to adjudicate the status of our bodies and selves.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
