#FindTaylorCasey: When A Loved One Goes Missing Abroad
YouTube video by WanderWomxn Travels

A young Black trans woman disappeared from a yoga retreat in the Bahamas last year and still hasn’t been found. Did you hear about this case?
I spoke with her best friend about how transphobia and misogynoir impacted the search for Taylor Casey & how we can support.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Nothing, and I mean NO THING, strikes fear in the heart of a TV or radio syndicate like a rattled advertiser pausing their ad buys

I literally had a client accidentally step on a cop's foot, say "I'm sorry" to the officer, and then get charged with a bullshit felony because "I'm sorry" was "consciousness of guilt."
Seriously, SAY NOTHING EXCEPT DEMANDING A LAWYER.

Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT
i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

You can just go to a protest!! It's not a wedding, you don't need to RSVP. But if you do and something happens at that protest and indivisible is (understandably) trying to save their neck, they'll give the regime your name.

For a column, looking to chat with earlyish-career workers about whether you’re struggling to focus on work/job-searching amid…well, everything else happening in the world. Would love to talk to experts, including organizers, on actions we can take at work or beyond to help. DMs/inbox always open.

So, my grandparents were visited weekly by the FBI in the '50s. Grandpa did some water & labor rights organizing + was a socialist & athiest. Got on some lists, they say. No jail time, but by the end of it gma ended up in the Oregon Hospital (the insane asylum in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest).

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.
Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

I find it curious when people quote over your posts to make a comment but don’t directly engage with you when you respond to them. It feels like passive aggressive shade. I’m not offended, it’s just an internet way of communicating that I think limits real conversation and community building 🤷🏽♀️
