Protecting threatened and endangered #species has long been popular with Americans across the political spectrum. But can the Trump administration, which has moved to weaken the Endangered Species Act, be inspired to protect the species we love?

Folks in tejas, such as my partner and I, have thoughts on this first strike in what our friends at the @texasobserver.org called a "gerrymandering arms race." Hopefully the online factions that revel in bashing the (people of the) state over and over for repub antics here can see our struggle now.

If you are thinking about trump's attack on #unhoused folks in #dc right now, these tactics have a long history. @mkaiasand.bsky.social is someone who has been documenting alternatives to copy-paste-incarcerate legislation for years. proud @deceleration.bsky.social can help amplify.
As attacks ramp up @mkaiasand.bsky.social details the many ways we construct homeless people as “unwanted persons,” but also the creativity embodied in alternative first responder systems that enact “care work without violence.”
