While Tennessee moves to create a public registry of trans people in the state, the federal government allows ICE agents to terrorize communities in masks that conceal their identities so they aren't ‘doxxed.’ Makes sense.
New Shea Diamond. Listen up, y'all.

The Justice Department is barely even a functional law firm at this point.
And there is more proof of that depressing reality each day.

Say it loud, spread it wide. Link arms against genocide.
ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.
But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.
But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

I love the new Anran motion comic, but especially @askfareeha.bsky.social's Rein impression 🛡️

The new Mira Ong Chua book is t4t trans masc yaoi. Please share as they do amazing work (and have made some really great sapphic graphic novels, so it's only fair we make way for a little bit of achillean love)

On a personal note: smoking is gross. Living in a smoking household is very bad for everyone. I will never be free from asthma.
Please don't take my word for it. Listen to public health specialists -- especially those working in communities with differing intersections of marginalization.

If the generations after mine don't learn anything else from us, let them know:
* vaccination side effects are much better than disease
* forcing people into the closet destroys lives and families
* trans kids live normally when allowed to transition
* public health practice keeps kids alive

It is possible to communicate severity without inciting panic. As pushback flares against necessary public health measures, so must the seriousness of the depictions of illness. Never forget the success of the TRUTH campaign in fighting nicotine addiction, which is once again on the rise.

People of the past _knew_ how serious Measles is. They had seen it firsthand. Of course they wanted any protection they could get, including vaccination.
That's no longer the case. www.ksl.com/article/5145...

It is a failure of science communication that we don't see severe illness. HIPAA doesn't prevent hospitals from sharing, so long as they have permission. Why didn't we see people dying of COVID? Why don't we see people dying of Measles?

There is no queer & trans liberation without disabled liberation.
There is no queer liberation without
• women's liberation
• black liberation
• indigenous liberation
• immigrant liberation
• labor solidarity
There is no queer liberation without freedom from and of religion.
Trans ppl are at the eye of the fascist storm in the US & the UK. The number of Americans moving to what they hope are sanctuary cities is huge. In fact whole families are moving with their trans children. A similar exodus is happening from the UK to Ireland & again it’s not individuals, its ,,, [1]
Thanks for everything, #chelmico. We'll be waiting for your return ✌🏻💜🤘🏻

Families in Minneapolis, financially hamstrung by the roving gangs of murderous fascist kidnappers, are struggling to pay rent.
Fortunately, local orgs are on it. You raised your voice against the nightmare in our city. Can you put your money where your mouth is?

#queer family, why are you sleeping on #trans singer/songwriter Superfan?
This is the artist who previously released the #sapphic anthem "Lucy" under the name KALI.
We would be remiss if we let this baby icon flounder because of a name change.

They also called her a Dyke, which outside of our community is a slur, and have since threatened to kill numerous peaceful protesters explicitly on the grounds of the things they say
CTUL has raised over 70k today, and is well on its way to the goal of raising 150k for rent relief in ICE-harried Minnesota. You can help!

No, thank you for all you do to lift people up. Beyond all we've learned from you over the years, I'm in MPLS and the need is great. Your attention really helps.
A receipt showing a $1200 donation to the EMERGENCY RENT FUND mentioned in this thread.
Done! Thanks everyone.
Thank you!
I'll match the next $1200 that gets donated. C'mon, y'all.
Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...
When the chudrage aneurysms finally burst and the rot returns to earth, may their last breaths wheeze with desperate regret.
If you're surprised that the administration is blaming the victim, what else is to be expected from a rapist pedo and his fixer squad? We've been warning you for over a decade. The mental gymnastics are Olympic.
There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
