Your reminder that social movements have removed autocrats and dictators from power. Trump should be scared of the people, not the other way around.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Today, not long after 3:00 PM, the US Senate will vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a transgender sports ban applying to youth and sports from dancing to darts and evenChess. If 7 Democrats flip on this motion, we will likely get a national sports ban in the US. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Efforts to paint the moments we're in as “anti-American” while romanticizing US history and its foundations do not dig us out of fascism; they dig us deeper in. Tell the truth about how this country came to be and what it is now, or expect more problems.

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.

Now would be a good time to read up on grand jury resistance. They are what prosecutors use when they don't have a case and need to go fishing for information or intimidate activist networks. They're about as undemocratic and unaccountable as it gets. From the NLG: nlgsf.org/grand-jury-r...

Good news from Belgium for sex workers, whose movement for decriminalization has had a big win. Belgian prostitutes now have the same employment protections as other workers, including maternity pay, pensions, and sick days. Power to them 🖤☂️
