Not sure I can adequately communicate the combination of frustration and sheer exhaustion of being a trans woman worried about losing access to healthcare and other rights, seeing anti-trans shit in the news daily, and then being told "Well, maybe trans people should have been nicer to JK Rowling."

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti.
DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state.
There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

Citing fear of ICE, pregnant immigrants in Minnesota are

Fear of ICE is keeping pregnant immigrants in Minnesota from critical care
Health care providers in Minnesota said pregnant patients are having more complications linked to stress. But fear of immigration agents is keeping them from prenatal care.

I don’t like reposting NYT, they’ve done (and continue to do) too much damage to me and mine. In fact, I can’t read this article. But this seems important.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Is it possible that the reason we struggle to create a world that prioritizes the health and safety of every child is directly related to most adults (and parents) being formerly unprotected children, conditioned to make excuses, or be grateful for, the abuse and neglect they endured in childhood?

“Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, with legislation to be introduced to parliament to ensure procedures are deferred until patients are old enough to consent to them.”
This is very encouraging news. We need to protect bodily autonomy.

I keep taking deep breaths and trying to focus on work and things of direct relevance to me, but I keep coming back to the fact that ICE murdered two people, video is absolutely crystal clear that they did, and no one's been fired, much less arrested. We still don't know the perpetrators' names.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
