Zeteo's weekly documentations of Trump's authoritarianism are maddening but also essential reading. I know I can't keep up with every daily disturbance, so I'm glad someone is keeping track.

This is what happens when we try to erase people from our culture, when we spread messages that they are not human and do not deserve to exist. “In my 20-year law enforcement career, this is one of the most horrific crimes I have ever investigated,” Captain Swift said. Remember Sam Nordquist. RIP.

For Black History Month, how about reading a recent book from a Black writer? I recommend this one I reviewed a few years ago for @hippocampusmag.bsky.social: "When They Tell You to Be Good" by Prince Shakur.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

Our government is erasing people right before our very eyes. This is genocide. From the National Park Service website for Stonewall.

"You didn’t need to transition. You always knew who you were and did an amazing job expressing that identity consistently, persistently, and insistently. The rest of us had to transition to see you for who you are." Beautiful letter from a mom to her trans daughter, via @nwlc.org.

Trayvon Martin dreamed of flying airplanes. But he was killed in a racist murder in 2012. His death sparked a national conversation about racial profiling &, following the acquittal of his killer, the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Happy birthday, Trayvon. #TheMarchContinues

On this day in 1917, Congress passed an Immigration Act that banned racial groups deemed "undesirable" from entering the U.S., and primarily barred Asian people.

Just a reminder that not all protests are in person. Boycotts work. Letter writing works. Phone calls work. In-person protests need planning and support. There are lots of different kinds of actions you can take. Just find yours. 😊

Your action for today to actively support trans people: Step 1: go to Bandcamp and buy this album by trans artist @eevieechoes.bsky.social. Don't be stingy - there's 11 songs of ska/punk gold on there, so pay at least $1 per track if you can (or more). eevieechoes.bandcamp.com/album/the-co...

I have no interest in opening the door for fascists and their enablers. People are dying. Trans people are dying. Immigrants are dying. Lives are being ruined. We're sending bulldozers to Israel to kill Palestinians. I can't just say "no harm, no foul" to people who affirmatively support that.

You need to understand that in 11 days, Trump has advanced anti-transgender policies to near genocidal intensity. Passports have been denied. ID documents confiscated. Banned trans medicine from those <19y. Essentially banned trans people from using bathrooms. This is the beginning of a genocide

Trans people are people. You can't just erase some letters from a website and make them no longer exist. I am a cis person who stands ready to be an accomplice in the fight for trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️
