Also, I wrote a book! It has airships, pirates, grief, addiction, existential crises, and, most of all, hope. Out for queries now.

NEW: It’s difficult to account for the abuses trans immigrants face in ICE custody after Trump destroyed safeguards, oversight agencies, and data about detainees.
But 3 trans migrants told me what it’s really like: Medical neglect. Solitary confinement. Harassment. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I really hope that 2028 doesn't come down to picking either Newsom or an evil prick like Vance. I don't trust him as far as I could throw him. Like two months before Kirk died, he and Newsom spent a podcast together demonizing trans students.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

I'm glad someone is speaking out, but the regime has already been targeting asylum seekers for almost a year. And when they can't arrange a deportation, they just dump them into CECOT instead and cut Bukele a check.
Attorneys say new transfer agreements and court tactics allow the U.S. to sidestep asylum rulings, risking removals to countries where LGBTQ+ people face imprisonment, torture, or execution.
Trump admin is trying to deport LGBTQ+ asylum-seekers to countries where they'd be killed, lawyers say

#MWE Day 3: "Willson" by Ashe

Absolutely tremendous. She's the late-Millennial Carole King: a killer songwriter who chooses to put her soul on vinyl. When she says that she wants to buy a vineyard and just disappear, you feel it in your bones. (1/3)

Coming in a little late, but I really want someone to talk about Willson with (Ashe's third album). It's a story of swimming back to the surface of your mental health after plumbing its depths.
Also featuring a little musical nod to McCartney squirreled away in the background.

The one that specifically accuses Trump of rape. Nothing to see here folks. Let me just, uh, sweep that out of your way. There we go.

Not sure why this isn't in the headline, but Nekima Levy Armstrong is a well-known law professor, civil rights lawyer, author, and activist.
Not only did the White House fabricate an AI image of her weeping, they also purposefully darkened her skin to trigger the most racist fuckers in their base.

I wish all these posts, even the well-intentioned ones, would stop highlighting the fact that Alex and Renee (among others) were citizens.
They were, yes, and that's important. But what's more important is that they were human beings, and now they're dead.
