I really need everyone to stop thinking in terms of laws and procedures and start thinking in terms of power and balance of forces. Like, yes, they intend to instruct the military to repress the people. They always did. The moves they're making are increasing the likelihood of army refusal

I think we need to internalize that The Law is basically no longer real and our adherence to it won't prevent consequences from it, in the same way that the regime's transgressions from it won't produce "roadblocks."

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Remember Project 2025? Well they have already COMPLETED 75% of their goals against LGBTQ+ people. This is all within the first month of Trump's presidency. They won't stop until they have stripped us of our rights and forced us into camps. And they won't stop with us...

It’s so important to support the arts and artists right now. One way of doing that is to AVOID using gen AI. Especially for your resistance images. Billionaires stole art from all creatives to generate that image. We would much prefer a text image, public domain image, your line drawing anyway!

The thing about the chaos tonight is that a lot of different parts of the government are pushing back on Musk. Very easy to imagine him having to pick between trying to fire an absurd, untenable number of people or backing down after having made a big threat and looking weak.

"[A]ll over the country, residents are preparing to turn ICE and CBP away at the door where possible and to question their presence in our communities. A united, grassroots front against deportations can make our communities safer as it shames and slows down the deporters."

Fortunately or unfortunately, reading is still the best way for me to learn languages. Probably I should have ditched the grammar books and hit the library years ago.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

CHLA just dropped their pause on gender affirming care for minors, after weeks of protests every Thursday by local activists. This includes one just yesterday. This is amazing news and proof that hospital protests and ACT UP tactics still work! www.latimes.com/california/s...

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

More importantly for the temperature of the room — you do not need to be on any list you’re not required to. Take a note from 1940’s Nazi Germany, or from 1950’s McCarthy and the Un American Committee which spawned the crack downs fought at Stonewall. You should not needlessly “list” yourself.

I honestly hope that if people hear this coming from me then maybe it will sink in you DO NOT need to get arrested. We live in a surveillance state, an arrest now does not carry the same consequences as arrests in ‘68. The state is violent & will escalate on you. You should avoid arrest if possible

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.
