SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Surprised the article doesn’t mention the racist Tuskegee experiment, which was a driving force behind establishing the U.S. research ethics framework.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

The BEST argument for Dems not agreeing to some sort of trans sports ban is simple: THESE BANS ARE WRONG. I'm sick of four-dimensional chess by everyone about what will win elections. Grow a fucking spine. It shouldn't be some popularity contest or game theory bullshit.

I'm autistic. Number of times I accidentally Nazi saluted: 0. Just saying. This is about Musk thinking it's funny to fuck with liberals (liberals in this sense means anyone that thinks Nazis are bad). It's the Kekistan flag bullshit all over again. To own the libs. Because it's funny to them.

Day 2: Dare to push against dogma, get called for exile. They're trying to intimidate us into silence. Dr. King (remember him? Something about a day yesterday?) said that if they threaten our rights, we must be ready to "fill up the jails”-- that is, gum up the works totally. Don't back down.

As a Christian, it’s life giving to see a minister speak to power. I’m not surprised it is a woman minister doing so. There are men that do so, for sure, but any woman minister has fought to walk her calling in a way most men don’t have to.

If you’re a pastor, get legal advice, but you can kick out cops and INS agents. You don’t have to let them in without a warrant signed by a judge.

Transphobes love their catch-22: (1) If it’s not a long-term RCT (or at least prospective cohort study), they say it’s not a strong enough methodology. (2) If it is, they say that, being a long-term study, it’s too old and doesn’t reflect current clinical realities anymore.

I was searching for some final thoughts before everything changes tomorrow. I can search for no better than these from a holocaust survivor. “Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear…”

None of us really know how we would react in such a catastrophe, but I hope and pray that if I’m ever called, I would respond like this.

1/ A transphobic idea is that trans women are murdered because we "deceive" people as to our trans history (usually the people promoting this instead use the bigoted language "true" or "birth sex"). That is not why we get murdered.

Also, hot take but politicians shouldn’t use scripture as arguments in their communications with the general public, and especially not the president.

Trans friends, I have your back. However I can help you get through the next 4 years, I’ll do my best. I don’t want to lose any of you to despair.

Happy Martin Luther King Day. Today I read: "You allow space and a place for people to process what they feel because of what they have lost. [...] There may be some people who don't have the stamina to keep going. But in a movement, the whole cannot stop." www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

I took today off. Looks like that was a good idea. Here’s some other things I’m doing to keep myself alive: - Showered - Put on some clothes that make me happy - Listening to music I enjoy These all feel so small. But this is important.

Here we go again. Some of us made it through last time. Some of our rights made it through last time. The things that we can save and the people who we can save are worth saving.

In history class, I remember being asked, "What would you have done in Germany when the Nazis took power?" I know what most people will do. Become Nazis. But the people that are honored today are not. There are many ways to resist. Do what is right for your situation. But don't become a Nazi.

If you won’t unequivocally call it a Nazi salute, you’re a collaborationist and don’t deserve to be a journalist.

Ignore the theater, no matter how cruel the show. Try to focus on what they’ll actually do. I know it’s hard to know what’s important with so much being thrown at us, but right now we need reason, not outrage. People will need help, and we have to be calm to be aware of opportunities to act.

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are all controlled by people who are sucking up to Trump. It’s pretty hard to overstate just how atrociously warped the social media ecosystem has become.

You know what is life giving? When I see cis people working to educate other cis people. When I see cis people checking in with trans people on how the trans folk are doing (hint: not good). When I see cis people that give a shit. It is helpful. Really.

The sheer absurdity of thinking that fascists somehow give a shit whether it’s against the law. Whether they’re able to do it has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with resistance. -A law professor
