Remember that immigrant detention centers are FOR PROFIT prisons that need to be filled in order for the people who own them to make money.

That’s it.

That’s how crude & basic this cruelty is.

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Fun fact:

In 1886 women were BANNED from stepping foot on Liberty Island for the Statue of Liberty unveiling ceremony bc the men in charge were afraid suffragists would protest/ point out women couldn’t vote in the U.S. (or in France where it came from).

As a result, there were zero women present.
The White House has dismissed a French politician’s symbolic call for the return of the Statue of Liberty — a gift from France some 140 years ago — on the grounds that the United States no longer represents the values embodied by the monument.
White House says U.S. won’t return Statue of Liberty to France
French politician Raphaël Glucksmann called for the return of the Statue of Liberty — a gift from France — in a symbolic critique of the Trump administration.

Enough.
Folks, I am not historically one to rock the boat with Democratic leadership. Because I know their responsibilities are quite difficult. But this is not just about a vote on one bill; this is a pattern of being basically rudderless for the past three months.

So basically we have (A) a fascist party and (B) a party that doesn't want to make too much of a fuss about the fascist party.

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

On Friday I was informed via Teams meeting that I was part a large layoff of over 10% of the workforce at the Center for American Progress.

This came with no prior warning.

If you see any good positions looking for a gender justice & policy expert — send them my way🙏🏼

DC, NY, remote. I’m flexible.

@katekelly.bsky.social's book "Ordinary Equality" also writes of Mary Church Terrell who fought for racial equality and women's suffrage throughout her life, understanding the intersectionality of race and gender discrimination.

In honor of Black History Month, we want to recognize that we would never have made it this far without Black women. Our friend, @katekelly.bsky.social (whose book "Ordinary Equality" you should read) draws our attention to Phillis Wheatley, who was America’s first published Black female poet. 1/x

Today we celebrate the FIVE YEAR anniversary of the 28th Amendment—the Equal Rights Amendment.

On January 27th, 2020 Virginia became the 38th & final state needed to ratify the ERA.

It met all the constitutional requirements for ratification then.
