The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

How did so many people attach to this idea that if Black people take to the streets, that's how the state will suspend normative law and deepen overt fascism? The state doesn't need Black people protesting or any alleged excuse for that matter to do what's already happening in plain sight.

An innocent man was sent to an El Salvadorian prison and the Supreme Court just decided not to bring him back. The rot in this country, in our politics & courts is so much deeper than one man. Do not let their lack of humanity corrode your own. The real question is what are we willing to sacrifice?

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Remember folks, if you're protesting and someone starts goading you to get violent, they're a cop.
If you get arrested or detained in any way, ask, "Am I free to go?" If they say yes, walk away. No? Shut the fuck up. Don't say anything else without a lawyer.
Good trouble, friends. Get busy.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

There are so many alternatives to Adobe products now, some of them free and open source. I refuse to give that company any of my money. Their pricing changes in the last few years show that they think they're essential. No thanks.
Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel.
Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click.
Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.
