For years, many of us have tried to get people to care about criminalization with only limited success. We made the point that criminalization is fascism's fuel. And I really really hope that more people now understand this.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

This is also how we landed on “we all know defund was a disaster” and “protests are counterproductive,” despite copious political science literature showing the George Floyd protests increased Biden’s vote share. Because the empirical data is less important than the narrative and who gets to set it.

When you look at the cross-tabs, you get a very clear picture of what “popularism” means in practice. White people, mostly white men, making over 100K, get to define what’s popular and what isn’t in this political model.
Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

Donald Trump really likes to play on people's fears of people released from "insane asylums." He really hates the mentally ill while folks can't stop calling him crazy. Anyway don't help him hate the mentally ill.

It's a stressful day with trans sports bans at the Supreme Court, but we have counterprogramming in the form of a lovely story about trans people playing games with little painted figurines.

Trans People are Wargamers Whether the Fandom Likes it or Not — Assigned
Wargaming, a traditionally masculine-coded hobby, has, in recent years, become a home to many trans and queer players.

Hitler saw himself as treating Jewish people like the US treated Native American people and Black people. He based the Nuremberg laws on Jim Crow.
He saw treating Ukraine, Poland and the USSR as Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands treated North America, India, and South Africa. Living space.

The US said, "I shall commit genocide against Native American people, so that I can take California. The land is so fertile! I can grow so much wheat there!"
Hitler said, "And I shall do the same in Poland and Ukraine! So much wheat! But first, genocide!"
And we said, "No wait, that's different."

There is no true solidarity if white people don’t defeat racism.
It’s an ideology and a system.
It’s like the idea of race isn’t real and you as a white person is not real. It is a sociogeny. You defeat racism you won’t be white anymore.

The weirdness here about the as-applied argument: the bigot argument is basically that there aren't enough trans-athletes to sustain a challenge.
But then, if we all agree that we're talking about a small group of people, THEN WHY ARE THEY MAKING A LITERAL SUPREME COURT CASE ABOUT BANNING THEM??!!

For today's horribles: the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on banning trans athletes. It's the most bigoted thing they'll do this term. I'll be jotting down my thoughts here.

I mostly think the internet was a mistake, but I’m grateful that when I see a guest star on a random show, I can immediately look it up and see what I know them from.
Back in the day, you just wouldn’t know. And there wasn’t really a way to find out. You just lived with the mystery.

Reminder that aside from asking if you're being detained or identifying yourself in a stop and ID state, the only thing you should EVER say to law enforcement in the US is
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.
And then SHUT UP.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
There once was a family that declared themselves above all others. They had more wealth and used it to gain
