I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
I love your art style!
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight.
This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car.

Glad to see her on a mainstream network. Such an important conversation today.
In the 5 months since I wrote this, things have only gotten worse, with adults stripped of their healthcare at a moment's notice, universities firing teachers & banning the mere mention of trans people, & Democrats helping pass further bans and the first discrimination & segregation laws since 1996.
From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here.

Yup, get rid of the whole rotten apparatus. Rip it out from the ground up.
I have some thoughts on the "stop calling them Nazis, it deflects America's own violent, supremacist nature onto the Germans, who were just copying us anyway" discourse. (1/?)
I interviewed two of the mods of r/Minneapolis about their tireless work this month: “I just wanted a local subreddit to know what was happening in my city, and now all of a sudden, we’ve turned into this de facto hub of information for basically how to fight fascism.”

ICE needs to be abolished. It hasn't existed that long. Hell the entire department of homeland security should probably be abolished.
These people have no oversight. ICE has been torturing people from the start. Freedom of movement should be an inherent right of all people.

The report is a few years old. If it was a lawless agency back then with no oversight what do you think it's like now? #abolishICE
Crazy it feels like that we'll be at war with NATO in less than 2 weeks and still have to go to work 💀.
An insane fascist at the wheel of an Empire with basically unchecked power has to be one of the worst timelines.
I didn't even have this on my bingo card.

With our world mired in seemingly endless tragedy it's the least we can do to help where we can.

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys
Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes
US protesters shot fireworks at the hotel where ICE agents are staying at in Minneapolis. They also played loud music and banged on windows. #ReneeNicoleGood #ReneeGood #3E #EndImpunity
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Oh my. What a relief!! 🥰🥰🥰
How can a predictive text engine ever be creative? There are no new ideas in psychopathic guessing machines.

I have to imagine that YouTube's algo suppresses this channel. Despite the quality of it. A great listen if you're wondering why everyone is sick.

Going to a local community action meeting tonight. Hoping that it actually helps connect because I could really use a community that is actively doing things together. Missing that hard rn.
What's not reported is as important as what is. This didn't fit the corpo media's narrative, just like dozens of other issues.
Sometimes I wish I had just wrote my first draft of my first book and moved on to others, rather than committing to endless rewrites and editing.
It's too good to abandon I guess 😅
Will they? Probably not. But it's one of the best moves for a party that will refuse affirmative policies. They have to be able to agree that pedophiles do not belong in power.
If you and your colleagues are incapable of standing up to Trump for 20 million people's healthcare you shouldn't be in power.
Your betrayal will kill people who wouldn't have died with ACA.
How long now before people realize the only way we get out of this is a #generalstrike.
