While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists. However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"Every day, the occupation [army] arrests 30 to 40 or even 50 new prisoners." Israel has arrested more Palestinians than it has released as a result of its ceasefire deal with Hamas ⤵️ aje.io/kqftig

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Always a great joy to see a dictator fall. Syrians have suffered enough. The task now is to ensure they do not suffer more, as the Iraqis and the Libyans did after the fall of their dictators. To that end, foreign powers, Western and non-Western, must also be kept at bay.

Spot on about general ~vibes~ and where we're going, but also the real struggles of traveling by (and advocating for) trains over flights in Europe. Offer has increased but reliability decreased in recent years, and my last trips from Croatia and Italy were not the idyllic adventures of yore..
