The Swedish government wants to pass TWELVE new immigration policies between now and September, including revoking citizenships, revoking permanent residency for “flawed lifestyle” and longer waits for family reunification.
Now would be a good time for folks to really wake up???

This is another outrageous attack on the dignity and safety of trans people — part of the ongoing campaign to eliminate them.
Also, *everyone* is less safe when a state is stripping legal ID from a scapegoat group. It’s a direct attack on trans people. It’s also precedent.

An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.
Kansas Bill Will Strip Driver’s Licenses from Every Trans Resident Who Changed Gender — Assigned
As Kansas passes a bathroom bill, another bill that will invalidate the driver’s license of every trans resident has been deemphasized in the coverage. Also, Trump’s Department of Education says San J...

Hey, content designers, a small glimmer of hope in the thought that someday, a few of our kind will get the job of adding a question to various application forms about whether an applicant has ever worked for ICE.
Just a stray hopeful thought that popped up this morning. May we live to see this.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The point of large performative actions is to convince others they're not alone and make them feel safe to join
We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

I shouldn’t be surprised but I always am, at the level of unhinged denial a lot of majority Europeans have when told that there are injustices in “their” countries (a big tell is the way that it’s still not the immigrants’ country, too) that they aren’t aware of.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
