alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Materials of Solidarity: posters, flyers, zines, and pamphlets of the 🇵🇸 solidarity movement — curated by Nadine Fattaleh at NYU’s Asian/Pacific/American Institute.

So many recent exhibitions have incorporated small libraries - in the exhibition space, rather than as an addendum!

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Isn't it a shame that so few people in the US know about the path Turkey has gone through over the last decade when so much of it playing out in the same way there?

When well-meaning journalists describe this as “heckling” we contribute to an ideological mischaracterization.

Instead, we should be more precise: “a reporter repeatedly asked questions about ..ICJ etc. Blinken refused to answer, reporter was forcefully removed by police”
Reporter @samhusseini.bsky.social was just physically dragged from Blinken’s briefing. “Why aren’t you at The Hague?” he asked.

this is the only path forward: white-knuckled, shaking, refusing to back down, naming the violence as it is being inflicted, shaming those committing it
Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

Israel killed 80 Palestinians in Gaza today, 30 of whom killed after the ceasefire deal was announced.

Israel always accelerates its massacres in the lead-up to ceasefire deadlines.

Gaza also remains a besieged concentration camp reduced to rubble.

The crisis is far from over.

The year before Oct 7 was the deadliest year for Palestinian children.

We will not accept that as normal.

The 75 years of apartheid was the reason why Gaza existed as an open air prison.

We will not accept that as normal.

Free Palestine.

Really in your face for the ceasefire to take effect on January 19th, Biden's last full day in office. His administration will have maintained its commitment to Israel's genocidal war on Palestine until the very end.
