Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

A child was kidnapped and no Amber Alert went out. A child was stripped of their rights and a senator says “we will check on them next week.”
Children every year have been taken with no Amber Alerts because the gov sanctioned it.
Fight like hell for these kids. Fight as if they were your own.

Queer families get erased in celebration, in grief, for a better headline.
Renee Good’s child is not “orphaned”. He has his mom still. Renee was queer and loved. Her wife lives and cares for THEIR child.
Stop erasing the powerful queer love that family holds.

Experts are finally admitting what we always knew, we are in the midst of a trans genocide in America.

This isn’t like Iraq though it is eerily similar. History has shown the US loves to destabilize and overthrow govs that won’t give them resources. Difference here is public military invasion was not approved by congress. Trump is aiming to be a forever president aka dictator.

I think I’ll be removing the section on US gov “balances of power” because the president can apparently just do a military invasion without congressional approval and the repercussions is a democrat zoom meeting.

This holiday, thousands of kids are waking up to their families not present because ICE kidnapped them. Hundreds of kids are in an ICE prison.
This country is doing what it was built to do, BUT we have the ability and obligation to stand up against it. Don’t just read about it. Act. Get involved.

Yearly reminder that Jesus was born in Palestine and is Palestinian.
Palestinian Christians are being actively arrested, their celebrations shut down in Haifa. There is no ceasefire. Over 70,000 Palestinians have been murdered and ceasefires violated 875 times for the last 2 years.

I’ve seen how communities of 20 raised thousands and a groups of 10 patrolling the streets for weeks. We need to fall back in towards community, towards mutual aid, towards sharing our wealth and not hoarding it.
There’s enough for us all but we have been trained to believe there can never be.

There are so many moments that can feel devoid of light. Especially right now where capitalism takes hold and so many lean into money to spend versus supporting each other.
So many of us are so tied to our own individuality in the US that we fail to see the power we hold with each other.

It feels like we are screaming into a void. Attacks on us constantly, a bill passing that will strip healthcare away from kids, and it’s not even trending.
But this article gives a moment of hope. A moment for us to see that people and orgs are stepping up when it matters. We need more of you to.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

I know we are fighting for trans right to healthcare but it would be nice if things were framed more around our humanity and right to healthcare vs “having this lowers suicidal rate”.
Like we should just be able to say trans people should have access to healthcare. The end. 🙃

Don’t just be aware. Know the pain, the daily endurance of trans people.
The constant hate and lies we must combat. The uncertainty of leaving the house because of how we present. The desire to just be.
This trans awareness week, pay a trans person. And if you love us, fight like hell for us.

So what are you doing, the cis people, watching this unfold?
Do you understand the intersectionality of our existence? We see the gays strut, take from our community, and then claim the world would better if we weren’t so loud.
But what is liberation if we aren’t loud?
Why live if we can’t be?

10. Looking at changing the Olympics to exclude women in a transphobic and racist way
11. Making queer inclusion, especially trans inclusion, in books an issue when it wasn’t
12. Pushing to designate us, trans people, as violent extremists
The list goes on. They want us institutionalized, dead.

But 31 Moms for Liberty bigots all lost their elections.
But they are still holding kids in ICE custody.

But our rights are being decimated.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Halloween is a gift to the queers.
To the ones that couldn’t express themselves.

Today, people will dress up, call people by different names, use different pronouns, play with gender expression.
But tomorrow, they will continue to blame trans and nonbinary people for their issues and complain about remembering their correct pronouns. 🙃
