Today, my alma mater dissolved the LGBTQ, Women's & Black African American Cultural Centers. TX is implementing a Christian-based curriculum. The House voted to shutdown non-profits who dare to dissent. If you don't think this is a road map to a fascist regime, read a book.

At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers.
If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

Well, that was something. Showed up for deportation defense training in Borough Park, trainers arrived, said there was “evolving situation” in Bensonhurst, were we up for heading there, we said Hell yeah, went and met folks on the ground, ICE ended up driving out of the hood with no one detained 🔥✊

We can surrender our values for relative comfort or defend our neighbors. Courage or compliance — it's that simple.

I try not to tell activists their business, bc I'm not an activist. But if I were to offer my advice, it would be to fight like hell over trans sports bans and GAC bans, make it incredibly damaging and punishing to push those through, so the bad guys run out of steam before they get to Obergefell.
It's tough. I do think Obergefell being overturned should be on people's radar. I also think it could happen more quickly than anybody thinks. I also don't think people should panic or freak out!
